Something really weird just happened...

I Started a new map (latest version Maye Green's) Haunted/terrifying biome.
5 minutes later every second title on the outside is red and has a description "A pool of goblin blood".

The map is literary bathed in goblin blood..??!!!???

(I have a screenshot, I could uploaded somewhere...)

This isn't a bug, its a feature!

Blood is fine though. Be glad it isn't deadly ash, or toxic goop.

[Xavier]

so what exactly is causing this?

Haunted/terrifying biome.

Armok, the God of Blood has blessed your embark! He must have great faith in you! Do not disappoint him!

But srsly, evil biomes have freaky weather. Don't worry, it's just the beginning :]

[ledgekindred]

Time to queue up some Slayer.

Chances are if your dorfs go wander into the blood, they will pick up some hideous syndrome that will cause them to get dizzy, puke, blister, pass out and/or bleed.  If you're really lucky it'll only cause one or two of those.  If you're not, it'll cause all of them and your dorfs will bleed out, covered in blisters and in excruciating pain.

...no one has any idea of what a devlog or release notes are.

Everyone knows that a devlog is what you get if you cut down trees in some evil areas. It's short for devil-log. Many fortresses have fallen to them when players decided to build a quick wooden wall to keep the zombies out.

Release notes are just the instructions dwarves attach to cages, so they know how to let the occupants out.

But I don't see what either of these has to do with raining goblin blood.

Excellent job. Now explain the FotF, forum backlogs, the search function and Toady's blog which should also be relevant to raining goblin blood.

Future of the fortress is the great prognostication of our necromancer neighbors in their latest book.

The forum backlog is the log holding up the back of the forum.

The search function is d,b,d over the built cagetraps

And toady's blog? Isn't that the new monster he's always working on?

some hideous syndrome

My dorfs got bruised everywhere when they went out into the rain.
Funny, yes. But hardly life threatening.

And then the zombies ate my fort

Be lucky it was bruising.  Unconscious rain causes dehydration as they don't stay awake long enough to live.  Blisters eventually turn into rot and infection, and death.

I wouldn't get too optimistic, I've seen bruising jump without warning to the spine causing suffocation.
