Well, of all the artifacts that I've ever managed to get, this is the first to have any kind of historical event.

The best part is, it's referencing the first siege of my fortress by Rysith's orcs.  The siege itself is named, which I didn't know happened.

Also - I'm typing the description almost verbatim, and the orc is, indeed, missing its name - I hadn't turned on the [CAN_SPEAK] tag on them yet, so there are no orcs with names.  The only change I'm making is to place an X where the orc's name should be.

Ukertan, "Wavedticked", a green glass lich figurine

Value: $7200

This is a green glass lich figurine.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is encircled with bands of green glass.
On the item is an image of the orc X and 'Gunner' Paddlemined the Armored Uncertainty of Weather the dwarf in green glass.  X is making a plaintinve gesture.  'Gunner' Paddlemined the Armored Uncertainty of Weather is laughing.  The artwork relates to the mortal wounding of the orc X by the dwarf 'Gunner' Paddlemined the Armored Uncertainty of Weather in Tombsmansion in the midsummer of 23 during Sory Äshus, "The Assault of Shocks".

I name all of my marksdwarfs 'Gunner' just as I use nicknames to label all dwarves with professions and such.  It's easier that way.

 The assault of shocks is a fitting name for the orc mod, and the resulting battles.

Not that particular siege, no.  All of the orcs died, and I lost nobody.  Granted, the 2 dozen merchants were hosed, but that's not my problem
