I recently had a glassmaker create a green glass artifact figurine of a masterwork toy boat that the glassmaker in question had himself created.

I recently got Frightcrater, an alunite ring adorned with rings of alunite.
I'd like to imagine that those rings of alunite were adorned with their own alunite rings.

I had a woodcrafter make this:
Code: [Select]
This is a  alder figurine  of Zon   Hatchetface. All  craftsdwarfship is   of
the highest quality.
The item   is   a masterfully designed image of Zon Hatchetface  the dwarf and
dwarves  in alder  by Reg Likotedos.  Zon  Hatchetface  is  surrounded by  the
dwarves.  The artwork  relates to the ascension  of the  dwarf Zon Hatchetface
to the position of queen of The Disemboweled Silvers in 1.
It is decorated with  oak and encircled with bands of alder.  This object is
adorned with  hanging rings of pig tail  fiber and menaces  with spikes  of
mountain goat leather.
On the item is an image of humans and elves in ash.  The humans are fighting
with  the  elves.  The  artwork  relates  to  the  attack  by The  Submerged
Confederation on The Poetic  Clouds in The Just Swamp in the  late autumn of
20 during Ngiranoloc, "The Furious Battles".

My first ever created artifact (for a now abandoned fort) is a testament to why I love random generation.  It was "Goodfortunes", the Silver War Hammer.  On it was the image of the dwarven king being elected to power, and it menaced with spikes of kitten skull.

I just got a Donkey bone Mace. :D

That's so freaking epic.

Edit: Post 666.

Donkey bone mace of the devil...? :o

My most expensive artefact so far was a throne made entirely out of star sapphires. I sadly don't remember how much was it worth.

Oh and there was this Uber iron crossbow :D. Too bad none of my dwarves could shoot straight.

I once flung a migrant off a bridge. He collided with the brook cliff and died.
A year later, my legendary engraver engraved him colliding with an obstacle and dying.

Wow. The only thing that would make those names more appropriate is if The Submerged Confederation were dwarves.

I have a new favorite: Ensebmeb, "Basesinches", a giant cave spider silk left mitten.

This is a giant cave spider silk left mitten. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with olivine, decorated with great white shark leather and encircled with bands of olivine. It is made from giant cave spider silk cloth. The thread is midnight blue with dimple dye. This object menaces with spikes of giant cave spider silk.

On the item is an image of Monom Chantattic the dwarf and chains in giant cave spider silk. Monom Chantattic is surrounded by the chains.

On the item is an image of Alath Irondent the dwarf and dwarves in chrysocolla. Alath Irondent is surrounded by the dwarves. The artwork relates to the ascension of the dwarf Alath Irondent to the position of queen of The Works of Delight in 16.

On the item is an image of dwarves and elves in tower-cap. The dwarves are massacring the elves. The artwork relates to the defeat of The Embrace of Doctrines of Hhe Calm Satin and destruction of Latheredwhite by The Works of Delight in the early spring of 179 during the Destruction of Latheredwhite.

My most recent one is Oddomimesh, Cloistersprinkled, a rope reed fiber coat worth 765080:

"This is a rope reed fiber coat. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with yellow grossular and schorl, studded with adamantine and encircled with bands of quartzite and phyllite. It is made from rope reed fiber cloth. This object menaces with spikes of schorl. On the item is an image of waves in rope reed fiber. On the item is an image of saguaro in rope reed fiber. On the item is an image of two tower-caps in adamantine."


Waste of good adamantine though.

Flayedwhite the siltstone armor stand wasn't that impressive. Yet it shows up on engravings and other artifacts in this fort half a world away from where it was made.

A certain piano player is going to be looking for that coat, I think. ;)
