A goblin ambush attacked my fortress, lead by this elf. Intrigued, I copied my world and went into legends to see what the hell was up. As you can see, when she was born she was already a survivor, having evaded a dusk creature. Abducted at 2, joined the goblin civ at 11,  became a scout for them at 12, married another elf slave[who was also a farmer, I looked him up.] in the goblin settlement at 26, and produced 14 elven kids with goblin names. At first I thought she married a goblin and started having goblin kids, but upon further inspection these kids were just evil as hell elves. Well, maybe not evil... I looked up one, and all he really did was settle in another goblin city, become a farmer like his dad, killed a human and ate him, then it specifically says he MURDERED a goblin, then scouted for the goblin city and was struck down by a human.

I'm not sure if this is typical or anything, but this Goblin Elves are highly intrigueing. Anyone else notice neat stuff like this?

I did have a dwarf turn up as the general of a goblin civilization, and leading a massive siege, but I wasn't thinking to jot down his name and have a look in legends later.  Maybe next time.

D-double heresy?

[weenog]

At first I was just confused.  Then my idiots showed the invaders a back door through the caverns that they hadn't noticed (too long a path to bother with maybe?), the invaders followed, and I was a little too busy to wonder about General Turncoat anymore.

You should hold her hostage and see if one of her children come to rescue her. Maybe you can capture all the surviving ones.

If not, you could always boot up an aventurer and make it your goal to kill each of her remaining offspring.

Seems goblins are doing their brainwashing well enough.

I also like how he started to name his sons with goblin names just after the conquest.

At least he didn't married a goblin lady...

It's pretty standard practice in the fantasy genre, the proper term is "non-voluntary goblinization"

Okaay..

Yeah, this is pretty common.  If you check your histories you'll find that there are also humans and dwarves that were snatched as children and raised to be goblin-like in goblin towns, some succeeding quite well despite (or because of?) not being goblins.

Heck, looking in the history of my previous fortress' world, I found a dwarven snatcher named Tekkud Swordrooters that snatched other humans, elves, and dwarves for the goblin civilization that she was a part of (she was abducted at age 7).  Seriously, she has one successful abduction per year for the 21 years so far that she's been a snatcher.  That's 4 humans, 2 elves, and 15 dwarves successfully snatched.  By a dwarf.

An elf fighting with the goblins?  I would have told my army to kill her first.

I had a recent ambush by the goblins that was led by a human.  He was quickly targeted for slaughter.

With my last fort to get goblin invasions (my current is pretty new, previous I abandoned soon after start), I had a human hammerman lead a goblin squad. So yea, I think these are pretty common. Why'd you think the goblins keep abducting kids?

It's not snatching, it's liberating. Obviously she feels the goblin lifestyle is superior and works tirelessly to guide her unfortunate, oppressed brethren to freedom.

So thats why I'm getting the happy thoughts, "Urist McGoblinsnatched is happy to be free!"

I had a kid snatched when he was 9, and five years later he came back from "camp" like a good boy. The only problem was he had a spear and several greenskinned friends with maces with him. His cousin (and the town army commander) chooped his arms off with a halberd and stomped his head in. His mom wasn't thrilled.... (Has lost a child to tragedy recently) His cousin? He gave not two shits. Went to the well and cleaned up. Made him a headstone and gave him a place in the community tombs out of respect for his family.

alot of my goblin civs have elves leading them or in them. Weird..... i just got 2 ambushes with elf leaders. Not sure why its goblins, if anything, it would be humans as humans and elves are the ones at peace. Mabye, after years of trees being cut down, the elves simply broke down, as there were no more trees left to rape, so they were hell-bent on destroying all dwarvern kind by any means necessary, in order for their lust for having sex with trees to be fed.
