This is a dwarf. It is decorated with dwarfiness and menaces with spikes of Brit. Engraved on the dwarf is an image of a dwarf digging a hole. This relates to the digging of a hole by Honeydew the dwarf in 2011.

I was the deceased vessel through which dark magick was done and Necrothreat III was created from the ruins of my old forum posts: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=118805.0

Good, yes.

Greatest? I'm guessing you've never heard of Planepacked.


The images on an artifact are only generated when you view its description, so this sort of thing happens fairly often. If you delay the viewing for a while, it's even possible to get images of artifacts created after the one being viewed.

Wow, I did not know that. So has anyone ever gotten a pair of artifacts that each have an image of the other artifact on them?

Sure it's not vanilla, but I think this deserves the title :D...


It's worth more than the rest of the map put together, possibly a large portion of the world even. I only stopped there because I ran out of metal and wanted to work on other projects.

That reminds of one of my dwarfs who making a artifact
I saw that he was making it out of adamantine and that he likes breastplates and floodgates.
He made a floodgate.

To this day the elven warrior castes hunt the enemies of nature for the purpouse of bringing back slain intelligent beings for consumption by their leaders and generals, for the good of nature and the survival of elvenkind.

And that is the story of how napalm was invented.

He would've anyway, that was a metalsmith mood. If he was an armorer, he couldn't have made a floodgate, and if he was a metalsmith, he couldn't have made a breastplate.
