The fallen tooth? Wish I could say it was a reference, but rares and higher always give one (or more) in normal and iirc there's only two crafting materials (tooth from rares and higher, dust from blues) in the entire of normal mode (where it's found) so it's probably a long stretch. Just feels unlikely, as much as I wish it was true.

That should be a new type of project, making a rug design in dwarf fortress (With accurate coloring)
"And so, after many deaths and much sacrifice, someone turned their fortress into a fully functioning self aware carpet that actively sought after sources of fresh blood."

Obsidian axe!? Pff, everybody knows that 1) there are no obsidian axes in Dwarf Fortress and 2) Sankis killed with his burning fists.
You missed one bit:
3) Sankis was female. See here for proof.
Yeah, community LPs always have a bit of gender confusion going on. In Syrupleaves, they just pretended that all the female dwarfs with male players wear fake beards.

for someone who doesn't play diablo (1, 2 or 3) it looks like a reference. Oh well, would have been funny

Actually it is quite common in all fantasy settings for Dwarven women to have the capability to grow beards. Even in Lord of the Rings, Gimli states that many humans don't know that Dwarven women exist because their beards make them look like men.

I think it was Aragorn who pointed out that it's because of the beards. At least in the movies, can't recall that part from the books right now  :-\

I thought female dwarves were bearded by default anyway?

Not in Dwarf Fortress! Luckily, it's very easy to mod them.

I seem to recall that female dwarves _were_ bearded in earlier versions, perhaps before 0.31.x? I'm not entirely sure.

Certainly in .31 onwards, female Dwarves are not bearded by default

In the books? 'Cuz I could sware it was Aragorn who mouthed "It's the beards" to Eowyn as he stroked his chin while on the way to Helm's Deep in the movies.

beards

And the only thing going through my mind was "GUN SAFETY/DAT AXE!". Truly a dwarven example of how to handle an axe when surrounded by little children and the elderly.
