I consider it an accomplishment when a fort finally starts getting engraving of goblins getting crushed by draw bridges, encased in ice, dying from exploding after a fall and being mauled by axedwarves, werewolves and pet giants. The goblin is cringing.  The goblin is in a fetal position. Art!

Engraved on the floor is an exceptionally designed image of Amayi Sunsoaks, the hill Titan by Lorbam Nishshetbeth. Amayi Sunsoaks is traveling. The artwork relates to the wandering of the hill titan Amayi Sunsoaks in The Honorable Hills in a time before time.

Engraved on the floor is a masterfully designed image of Gikut Sinkcleansed the giant cheetah by Lorbam Nishshetbeth. Gikut Sinkcleansed is laboring. The artwork relates to the settling of the giant cheetah Gikut Sinkcleansed in The Honorable Hills in 8.

Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed image of Zomus Cleanedboredom the wolf by Udib Tunlikot. Zomus Cleanedboredom is laboring. The artwork relates to the settling of the wolf Zomus Cleanedboredom in The Honorable Hills in 8.

All... over... my damned fortress. Note that my current date in-game is 880... -.-

Oh, haha this one made me laugh.

Engraved on the wall is a masterfully designed image of Litast Gladerings the Erased Faith of Praises the dwarf and oysters by Zon Koganlam. Litast Gladerings the Erased Faith of Praises is surrounded by the oysters. Litast Gladerings the Erased Faith of Praises looks terrified.


Heheh.. my fishermen made my legendary axedwarf scared so badly it got put on the damn wall in my dining room.

Also somewhere is an engraving of an elf losing a molar to a hydra sometime back too... lol

I dunno, my current fort has a wide variety of topics. From gods to animals to household objects and yes the mauling of dwarves by grizzly bears. I also got some current events like when a couple of my dwarves were killed by a deer (don't ask), various artifacts and appointments etc. Then again my engravers tend to work in teams of three or more so maybe that's the issue.

Strangely, most of my engravings in my latest fort are horrific scenes of a dragon burning and eating humans, or a volcano goddess getting steadily more and more pissed... Or rutherers. Or renditions of rutherers. Or renditions of renditions of rutherers.

Like the others said, I think it has something to do with the area. For instance; My engravers were running around engraving pictures of some Human taming polar bears 80 some years before my fortress was even founded. And low and behold, that fortress was on a tundra. I had entire corridors devoted to pictures of this guy taming fucking polar bears, and now I imagine him riding into my fortress with an army of polar bears slaughtering all my dwarves.
