these are my first good artifacts! I have no idea why, but I am totally psyched out about this XD


I edited the descriptions of both of them together into 1 picture:





So, how much do you think these would buff up an area?

Also, how would I put one of these into a meeting hall or something?

[noob]

I dont think you can build anything that uses figurines or crowns.

[o_O[WTFace]]

You can't without a simple display case mod.  Craft items currently don't have much use besides trade and getting stolen by kobolds.

Except you can't trade artifacts, so they're essentially thiefbait.

If you want them in a meeting hall or noble's room or somewhere and aren't using the display case mod, you can make a 1-tile, 0-bin stockpile that only accepts artifact items. Once they're on the stockpile, forbid, and remove the stockpile. Serves no useful purpose, but aesthetics are always nice.

Does this add to the room value?

[Lav]

No. Only constructed items and engravings do.

I just had a child withdraw from society, and make:

Rimtarvosut, "Castlehale", a raw adamantine crown

This is a raw adamantine crown. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with raw adamantine and green diamond, decorated with goblin bone and cow bone and encircled with bands or raw adamantine and adamantine. This object menaces with spikes of light yellow diamond. On the item is an image of thin crosses in raw adamantine.
On the item is an image of Castlehale the raw adamantine crown in light yellow diamond.
On the item is an image of Dostngosp Vilefrenzies the goblin and Nomal Guardhammer the dwarf in cow leather. Dostngosp Vilefrenzies is making a plaintive gesture. Nomal Guardhammer is laughing. The artwork relates to the mortal wounding of the goblin Dostngosp Vilefrenzies by the Dwarf Nomal Guardhammer with a bronze spear in Bentrampart in the early winter of 258 during the Ninth Attempted Abduction at Bentrampart.

why do you make your wards who take the care of your priceless children carry spears made of just bronze? doesn't that feel wrong? shouldn't they have spears of goblin bone or steel, at least?

[kotekzot]

A bone spear is about as effective as a pudge battle axe.

yeah i agree that it performs poorly. But doesn't it feel just right?!

No, so put them in high traffic areas. Dwarfs walking by them can have good thoughts about them.
