"Vesh Ashfuture is a deity of the trumpet of shields. Vesh most often takes the form of a rotting female dwarf and is often associated with rebirth and death."

I thought that was badass. It's not as random since it's a deity, but... That is one hardcore goddess.

Also, whispertwinkles cracked me up the first time I read it. Gets me every time.

Potential dwarven fortress names:

Lathonstal - "Mythbusters" - Dwarven Science, anyone?
Virelot - "Starbucks" - Maybe if coffee could be brewed and exported in game. . .
Cerolrigoth - "Lenscrafted" - Meh, close enough.
Bakattosed - "Gamestop" - Dwarves need video games, too.
Zirilfenglel - "Firefly" - River is silly.

"Baitvelvet"  Unfortunately, "the bat" is a mail program, not a server. Otherwise:
"Baitvelvet The Bat-Dot Net" would be a valid email adress.

 About the closest I could get to what I was looking for was "Yellowstranger the Sly Spry Meeting of Crypts".  I doubt many will recognize what I was after (shy gypsy slyly spryly tryst by my crypt), let alone recognize where it's from or why it's notorious.

There are 2 good ones in my most recent fortress...

-Reigneddim the Pointy Shadows, a Kalonite Bracelet
-Coastalmatched the Foot of Chucking, an Oaken Scepter
     (I'm imagining an oaken staff with a detachable Foot-shaped top that is useful for throwing at insubordinates)

That's from The 7th Guest, right?  The sentence with no vowels in?

 Wow, someone recognized it.  Yep, that's the one.  It's also the puzzle that coined the term "Soup Cans" to describe any mandatory puzzle that's there solely for the sake of having a puzzle.

So I named an adventurer after myself, and decided that the only combat I would do would be to gouge the eyes out of my enemies.  After enough of my foes bled to death through their newly emptied eye sockets, I was blessed with this title -

I came across a few good ones

The Shameful Fingers- mountian range
The Armored Meteors- squad name
The Feral Pick- My very first forts civ name
Masionlure, Savagetorch, Ironsnarl- Top three fort names
The Dunes of Despair- My memory is a lil hazy but I think I had a desert named this on one world I got.
The World of Legends- Best world name I've generated
Fangdangled- A artifact chair consisting of a single highwood log

I think I've come across more than this, maybe I'll remember later.
