Hello all,

I just drafted 2 nubs for military duty from first wave.

I had created a couple shields and 2 axes for them, and when I went to equip them I see several items in the list... for example...

nether-cap spear (4)
tower-cap blowgun (20+)
black-cap shield (10+)

And a few assorted other shields.

Whats this about? I understand the wood needed for these is belowground but how/why is it showing on my list?

They are in your list because they exists. Those are weapons of animal men from the caverns. They may be underground, but still they are there. Those lists don't care if your dwarves can reach the items, they just list every possible weapon.

I'm imaging Urist going to the caverns, punching an ant-man, and taking his blowgun.  Then beating to death the rest of the ant-man tribe with it because he has no darts.
