So, I've been playing on a world for some time, and just lost a fort ( Don't ask ) and decided to hit up legends, and found my civilization: Syrup of Sinews. However, it would seem that someone named: "The Dark Freak Nish Trustedlance became queen of the Syrup of Sinews." Later, if I found that her mate becomes king later, then even later, a Dwarven Necromancer becomes king, and the Dark Freak and her mate are then listed as enemies of the civilization. Uuum... What? Is this normal?

Is ANYTHING in Dwarf Fortress normal?

[Argonnek]

Well, the necromancer must have revealed that the night beasts were, in fact, night beasts. Or maybe it was someone else who did? Either way, succession is a bit strange during worldgen.

Actually, all Legends names are the most current, so what most likely happened is that she was abducted and turned into some monstrosity.  You'll get a lot of "the attack was led by the male freak of horror mate Long Dwarven Name Here", since at the time they were still a dwarf, but their names get retroactively changed for every event after they've been transformed.

And that's really annoying, IMO.  I'd like to be able to see deeds done with appropriate names pre- and post-transformation, with info that relates the two somehow.  Well, Legends Mode will get revamped... eventually.

Hey, I once found a book in legends called the book of glittery.

Here's the post I made about it in a funny name thread.

Also, I found the greatest Necro book to ever grace DF in Legends mode in the same world. It goes by the name of The Book of Glittery ; found it when I was looking for Chancedglitter in legends. Here's the description:" The Book of Glittery was a legendary panda leather-bound book. The written portion consists of a 1 page poem entitled The Book of Glittery, authored by Unib Knifeflights It concerns the turquoise-bound book The Dwarves Ever Onward. The writing is excessively ornate yet it is competely serious.

The book the poem concerns also is written by knifeflights, and it is a biography of the Dwarf Doren Truthboulder

A quick glace at Truthboulder shows that she was the first of her kind, was cursed into being a Were-Deer and went on a reign of terror, becoming an enemy of nearly everyone, before being struck down 177. Despite this she managed to marry and have children with Mr Knifeflights.

I love this game.

DF is never normal.

So it's a poem about a book about a promiscuous weredeer?

Something along those lines.

Sounds like a poem about that world's Twilight, actually...

Scouring again, there is a book, written by a Dwarven Necromancer titled: Dwarves: Truth or Fiction?

Someone was getting existential.

What was it about?

[birdy51]

Obviously, this Dwarf is making blatant attempts to destroy the fourth wall which we hold near and dear to our hearts.

He must be erradicated with delicate force.

[Ringsea]

It is a memoir about a memoir about a book, based on the Secrets of Life and Death. Wow.
