today in the glorious hamlet earthgolds our adequate mason olon roasted chambers had a friendly discussion with local rivals and declared himself king in the middle of the hallway, hauling some wood. our home civ isn't even dead! whats the protocol for this situation?

apparently risen manydaggers as declared himself Expedition leader. the king was our exped-leader. is there some kind of political revolution happening in the fortress that i Wasn't aware of?

This tends to happen with relative frequency now that it's not quite as hardcoded. Since World Gen continues on outside your fort's boundaries, current monarchs can die and their heirs can be in your fort. You can also embark from a near-dead civilization and have there be no available dwarves to be monarch until you show up in your new fort.

It's a pain in the ass to deal with kingly prerogatives so soon, but it's kind of fun and challenging too. The last time it happened to me, the king was down in the caverns hauling something and he got attacked by a voracious cave crawler. He punched its brains out after it bit him a few times. I nicknamed him 'Badass Rex' and started working a bit harder on getting his rooms built.

your right when you said it would be challenging. he has already demeanded 3 toy hammers. on a related note i built a dilbert style workplace for the nobles, cubicles and all! the king got an office.
