Heh, that's just brilliant. It's especially funny that you drew him in tighty-whiteys. Seems to add to the ridiculousness somehow in an incalculable way.

I'd forgotten to add him chugging ale, though :o. I suspect it would've been better.

Chaining him down does work. I'm going to build him a big throne room then chain him right next to his throne.

The picture sealed it.

Unless you forbid the doors to his throne room, you're going to have dwarves wandering into the room to eat dinner there, just because they can  ;D

Heh, yeah, I had dwarves do that a lot between when my king's quarters were built and when he arrived.

Anyway, if you do redraw it with him chugging ale, make it LITE ale. :)

Hey, on the plus side: you have a Noble who won't give you mandates, he (probably) doesn't need food or drink, he doesn't complain, doesn't need huge rooms on threat of going crazy, and he can be 100% safe at all times thanks to the chain.

He may be an Elf, but he's the perfect King.  I wonder if he can be adopted by a Dwarf...

I think animals only get adopted if there is a dwarf with a preference for that type of animal.

...are there actually dwarves that "like elves for their grace"? I've never seen it.

Elves do have prefstrings, so it's possible, you just need to wait for the RNG to throw it up.

Maybe the elves will pay you a king's ransom.

Can I get a rimshot on that? Anybody?

here's my interpretation. He lacks the fake beard, but he does have a hammer and a throne what menaces with spikes.

Recently I've had two goblin civs ruled by Dwarves. Pretty funny.

Was one of them named Jareth, by any chance?
