There's a little story behind this you need to understand how apt this pun was: My mayor kept demanding pig iron items. Of course you can't make anything from pig iron but bars. So that's what I made, but no doubt she was hoping for something more exciting, because she made this demand repeatedly.

So some time after she gave up, my metalsmith got possessed and made a pig iron armor stand. What did he call it? "Treasure-uttered the Flier of Winds". That's right, she finally got the treasure she was asking for... when pigs flew.

As if to leave no doubt about his intention, it was decorated with a cloud, in smoky quartz, one of the mayors other favorite materials.

"The Cult of Beer" in "The Pure Fields" Sounds lovely until you realise its a haunted wood surrounded by wilderness...

My current fortress name is "Fortressslaughters"

The dwarven group that found it is called "The Boat of Incineration"

There have been no real slaughters, or incinerating boats yet, though.

My fortress was oddly named "Angelanus, the ancient ace of sodomy"
