[Holy Mittens]

Between this guy and the year-round ambushes (elves in the Spring, goblins and gibberlings [modded civ] taking turns the rest of the year), this is officially my favorite fort.

[Vester]

Ha, the elves must want him back to teach them the dwarfy way.

[Holy Mittens]

After a few nice-but-uninteresting artifacts, one of my secretive moods just produced this (Orinth is a modded in metal):



I can only assume that this somehow relates to how Cacame managed to become king.

[Neruz]

Your Elf King has appeared on an artifact along with the pictures of a menacing fireball and a horrific war.

Dear god, what if he's really a Wizard in disguise? Or a Dragon?

I'm under the impression he's really a bear.  With pointed ears.

[Fault]

can you still not assign the king a room? would it work if you assigned a room to his consort, or would they not share it?

Does he even have a consort?

(I mean, by all rights, this guy should have SEVERAL)

[Phantom]

I suppose he is this guy.

[Fault]

I suppose the only way this guy could be any more badass would be if he was ALSO the hammerer.

(coloured version)

[Holy Mittens]

I still can't assign anything to him. He doesn't have a consort. Besides the fact she too would have been an elf (and thus have the same issue as the king), she was killed and eaten by other elves during an ambush a few years before he became king. I assume this is what drove him to abandon the pansy elven way and become such a badass that the dwarves made him their leader.

Also, he is not the Hammerer, but he does have several levels of skill in Hammers due to his taking part in several invasions during world gen.

Add this to descriptor_shape_standard.txt in the raws, and he will show up in other worlds.  He might also appear in the likes of Dwarves, possibly.

Translating the name...

Hide Apebald

...well, that's not very cool. At least hide is in the 'nature' category, so it probably means hide as in skin.
At least though, the dorfs probably don't speak elven.

Will that work? I have a hankering for a dwarfy elf king.

[Shima]

It should.  Will appear in engravings and decorations for all races, that much I can tell you for sure.  There may be some odd syntax "Engraving of a ale-chugging Elf King etcetc" and such, but that's the nature.  Rarely, in a Dwarf's likes, it might show "Elf King Cacame Lastnamey" as a like as well.

[Megaman]

while this is probably cause by a bug, I would probably kill elve captives infront of the king to see if he's really dwarfenly.

[Sensei]

If he's still listed as friendly... harming the elves in front of him MIGHT cause him to go postal...

At least, if you can provoke them to siege. It should be the same as when a goblin siege comes, all the once peaceful gobbos in the dark tower will attack you.
