An engraving of tentacle demons. Did he HAVE to put it in the dining room?!

"The Absolute cake"

An engraving of an animal trap. Apparently the cake is a lie.</STRONG>

I let my legendary engraver go to work on our new huge dining hall right after we had barely survived an 80-death toll drout incident, and a mass genocide of camels in an attempt for animal population control. This is what i would read, left to right, top to bottom:
[The dwarf is rejected][The dwarf is dead][The dwarf is withering away]
[The dwarf is dead][The dwarf is dead][The dwarf is withering away]
[The camel is screaming][The dwarf is crying][The dwarf is dead]
[The dwarf is withering away][The camel is screaming][The camel is screaming]

And that pretty much just continued for some hundreds of tiles across. Primarily dwarves crying, being rejected, or dying, mixed with a good amount of screaming camels.

I fired that engraver the next day on grounds of incompetence and suspicion of drug abuse. Our new engraver is much happier and draws pictures of trees, turtles, and flowers.

Wow.  Can you imagine walking down that corridor?  Several hundred yards of DOOOM.

Okay, I just found one of the priesthood of Armok trying to recruit blood sacrifices.  Dwarf surrounded by dwarves, "The Persuasive Strong Beards of Holiness".

EDIT:  Got another one.  It's the legend of how the civilisation's worst ever baker was exectuted.  Also dwarf surrounded by dwarves, this one called "The Unspeakable Loaves".

And... "The Fragrance of Lepers."  Dwarf in a fetal position.

Smoxspuadosod, "The Secretive Violent Breakfast"

Engraved on the wall is a superiorly designed image of a goblin by Ago Azstrogkutsmob.  The goblin is falling.

This most likely relates to the death of my architect/mason after he removed an overhanging bridge from the wrong side, and plunged into the chasm beneath his feet.  I have absolutely no idea why it was named this.

It was even placed in the entrance to my dining hall.  "Today's special: Secretive Violent Breakfasts!"

Remember, dwarves engrave stuff they like often. Some of contents the pictures that get repeated over and over might be listed in their profile.

I think I know what the engraver ate that morning, or shuld I say who...

If it weren't for my currently-running forts I would totally mod in cannibalism for dwarves.

"The Flimsy Strangled Sorcerers"
...image of elves and dwarves...the elves are speaking with the dwarves.

Must have insulted the dwarfs pretty bad.

"The Shameful Snarling Romance"
...image of a cow... the cow is falling.

Some things are not meant to last long.

And somewhere in the symbol-choosing process, something went terribly, terribly wrong.

[Kyselina]

Heh. Pretty good engraving. Nope, really! You just have to right click on it and see the picture.

[Pandarsenic]

Just for reference, my comment refers to the actual content.

Etestilusbamgus Istbar, "The Dutiful Everseeing Weasel of Roses"
Engraved on the floor is a masterfully designed image of a dwarf and quivers by Iden Ubaltun. The dwarf is surrounded by the quivers.

Wow, I thought at first: the quivers are attacking!

Examining it in legends mode gives no additional description except the name of dwarf: it's my mayor! And guess what? He likes quivers...

Found this one in a goblin temple:

Udizul, "The Present Pants"
Engraved on the wall is a superiorly designed image of a tentacle demon.
