This is for engravings only. None of your masterwork lead mugs menacing with spikes of pig tail cloth and all that. No, this is for things like:

 

quote:"The Dishonest Kingdom"
Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed image of a dwarf and dwarves. The dwarf is surrounded by the dwarves.

Random and not as funny:
 

quote:"The Leafy Fires of Trade" Engraved on the wall is an exceptional Datan Dumetakir rendition of a masterfully designed image of waves.

The Leafy Fires of Trade exists in at least 12 different spots in one fortress, and that masterfully designed image of waves has shown no evidence of having ever existed.

Another decent one:
 

quote:"The Bearded Cruelty of Gloss"
Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed image of an elf and a muskox by Datan Dumetakir. The Muskox is striking down the elf.

The humor in that is the name - because I trapped elf merchants and their muskox killed both elves before we put it down. The other similar engravings have less fitting names. (Except the Gloss part. Dunno where that came from)

EDITED spelling.

"here is an engraving of a dwarf and a magnetite Quern, the dwarf is raising the quern"

about as unusual as i get.

It's most likely your fortress symbol in that case. It can pretty much be anything, and it is completely independent of fort names.

Bunsothzalushenseb Bomrek, "The God-forsaken Painful Basis of Whipping"

Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed engraving of dwarves by Lokum Zasitbomrek. The dwarves are laboring.

My fortress symbol has to be a masterfully made picture of diamonds. Because 20% of my engravings are a rendition of that.

"The Mellow Rage of Ticks"

Engraved here is an image of a cow and a goblin. The cow is striking down the goblin.

That's from my current fortress. Most heroic cow ever. Doesn't beat my favourite from another fortress long ago:

Engraved here is an image of a dwarf and a tentacle demon. The dwarf is embracing the tentacle demon.

"The Sly Bitter Violence"
Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed image of elves and dwarves by Inod Oslanlegon.  The elves are speaking with the dwarves.

I think the name tells you what Inod wanted to do to the elves,  .

In 2D version, my dwarwes had one strange symbol.

I don't remember the name, but I think it was "The crescent moon" (well atleast I know it included moon). Guess what it was engraving of. I'll post the name after few posts. It was engraved too much.

Does it beat embracing a tentacle demon?

That was my reaction.
I wish I'd known about the extra details you get when you come back and look at engravings in adventure mode, because I would have loved to know what the HELL that was about. Sadly that fortress has long been lost and its world deleted, its bizarre engravings gone forever.

[Kyselina]

I think it's not good as embracing demon, but it is something very tragic about dwarwes in that fortress.

[Bullion]

i thought this was a bit odd, look at the name

Babin Aral, "The Friend of Women"

Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed image of a dwarf and a turtle shell toy axe by Zuglar Ducimolon. The dwarf is raising the turtle shell toy axe.
