Worth 204,000 easily beating a silver puzzlebox that held the previous record of 75,600. It was pretty tedious, as I had to make a magma forge, and he had to run all the way around the fort to collect, and at the end he decided he needed the only rough crystal I DIDNT currently have. The symbols probaly relate to the recent jailing of my brewery master because he I couldnt get a large gem for a noble.

9 items... from a child... A CHILD!! I didn't believe when they said that children could go fey but they did... amazing! Its just an oaken earring.. but it has red spinels and stuff

[JT]

None of the three artifacts in my latest fortress are particularly noteworthy, but what's noteworthy is that all three of them have been possessed, so I didn't get a single legendary anything out of the deal.  Unfair. =(

[edit]"Neither" can't be used with three artifacts, JT.  Learn your Englishes.

I went back and decided to dig deep one of my older forts just for fun, and as soon as I started digging out the adamantine one of my many children went into a fey mood. They slowly ran back and forth and picked up 3 chunks of adamantine ore, and this is the result:

[RPB]

It's not the most complicated artifact construction, but here's the most complicated name I've seen yet: Urmimaknun Veskiretkodor Thalal, "Swamhawks the Spry Untoward Dawn of Empires."

That's the kind of name that looks like it might almost be really cool, except when you put it all together it's pretty much nonsense. I suspect something was lost in the translation.

[roguester]

I got a dwarven priest

I'm not sure what you'd call this.

[schnobs]

Two schist, slate, pig tail cloth, 2 sheets of whale leather, moonstone, a platinum bar, an aquamarine and a lump of green glass.
