This might be a bug. My marksmen have just killed an ambushing dwarf wearing more medieval bling than I would have thought possible. I counted a total of 128 earrings, bracelets, crowns, rings, and amulets. I don't know how he managed to sneak with all that crap, much less ambush anybody. Every jostle ought to have been a racket. Hauling all that crap to the magma-based waste management facility should keep my dwarves busy for a bit. Maybe it was his attempt at a gillie suit...

Every time someone kills something during worldgen, they aquire a minor item made from its bones.

Extra-badass historical figures tend to have rather large collections.

wow! that explains the goblin local leader that dropped ~1000 snail/slug/olm-man bracelets! He musta been locked into a chasm sometime.

Does that hold true for retired adventurers?

I suspect that if you wear ENOUGH jewelry, its combined weight would tend to keep it from shifting and making too much noise. So I guess as long as he could lift his head, it's possible his 800 necklaces were more or less stuck together enabling him to sneak a bit?

But wouldn't it scrape across the ground?

I generally don't play adventurer mode, but from what I recall reading elsewhere (IIRC), yes. Or maybe that was a bug in an older version that doesn't happen anymore?

When you imagine it as more of a ball, rolling along the ground is a more appropriate verb.

So that explains the goblin leather and bone crafts that I'm getting off the goblins, and the goblin ambassador from the mountainhome. With that, and the engravings of elves and humans kicking the shit out of each other, I think my worldgen had some VERY interesting history.

Is there any way to find out world history apart from piecing it together from fragments?
And are there any other little history-telling quirks from worldgen?

In between fortresses (or, you know, savescum) go to Legends Mode for that world - you'll see the whole history from various perspectives (list of creatures, list of civs, list of cities...) and especially don't forget (I didn't find this out for a little while) you can hit "Enter" and whatever's at the top of the screen is going to be gone into in more detail. List of kills for that creature, events during the city's existence, battles on that site...  So if you're looking at "The Third Seige of Laughingbrook" and hit enter, you'll see the relative armies and notable events during the battle ("The Second duel of Snobuz Incestrapes and Urist Spinningstones occurred."). Hit space to back out as usual.
