I always thought dwarves hated elves...
« on: August 29, 2008, 11:16:30 am »
Maybe the Caravan was realllllly timely.  I got the following artafact in my latest fortress.  The name is just classic too...

Ungeg Inketh 'The Failure of Justices" a Willow Statue

This is a Willow Statue All craftswarfship is of the highest quality
It is decorated with a turtle shell and encircled with bands of Willow and turtle bone
On the item is an image of a dwarf and a elf in Kaolinite The dwarf is embracing the elf.

I'll upload a screen shot later.

That's what DF needs, The gutbuster brigade.  Screw that elf and his cat. Thibbledorf Pwent is the real hero.

It's Dwarven humour. It's very ironic: a artefact statue made out of a butchered tree, decorated with parts of murdered animals, all of those things that Elves hate to see happening. And -now comes the beautiful part- the image is one of Elven-Dwarven friendship. Who is the genius that made it?

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Elves are only good for two things.

Killing and porn.

The dwarven economy is just a stand-in, from what I understand. As it is, it represents an actual economic system about as well as poison ivy represents a salad.

18+?  That's kinda a quaint warning.
Speaking of which, do Dwarves use Pocket Rocks?

Man, reminds me of my old Shadowrun days.  Had a vampire kick down the door to a party member's house once, he scrounged around, and the only thing he could find was, well...

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.
