A queen just arrived, and with a mangled hand. (She even dropped that glove at the map edge!)  No unnoticed ambushes or creature attacks, that's how she was at the "pause" with the announcement of her arrival.

I just wanted to be sure I understood - that's from world-gen, right? She had that injury from something in legends or whatever, and that's just how she is, and how should would be no matter what embark site in this world I chose (so long as it's the same culture choice.) 

And since it's from world gen (i.e., she's had ample time to heal), it's not going to; only "mangled" injuries last that long.

I got that right?

[h3lblad3]

Pretty much.  I'm not up on which injuries heal and which don't, but that's how it happened.

[Simmura McCrea]

I'm pretty sure any injuries will heal while on site, although it may take a long time depending on her toughness stat.

[Sysice]

I think so. It's certainly not you if it's only her hand and she was like that as soon as she arrived. It might even heal, I don't think worldgen handles healing and rulers generally have lots of attributes. How tough is she?

EDIT: Curses, ninja'd again!

[Grendus]

The only wounds that don't heal are missing wounds or spinal damage. Everything else will heal eventually, though it will be a while. Mangled limbs are nasty.

[Albedo]

Superdwarvenly tough - which means she could be better than that (as attributes don't have caps, they just stop describing anything better and better.)

And - my bad - I said "mangled" but I meant "missing" - it's dark grey (which I suspected before I looked from the dropped glove.)

She's passing out regularly (like every 10 steps or so), so she won't even be a good lever puller.

Dammit!

Last time I checked, unless you have a Chuck Dwarvis, a missing limb doesn't return.  Sorry.

[Rowanas]

Mwhahahaaha. Sucks to be her. How about having her walk across the ballista firing range? It would be a shame if she were to fall unconscious on the range, but accidents can happen.

[Albedo]

Nah, I'll keep her - I like the social challenges.  I even use hammerers and sheriffs and the economy all that crap.

[Rowanas]

I like challenges, but the challenged are a rather different matter. At least she can't make mandates if she's unconscious. She probably can though...

[Simmura McCrea]

Nah, rulers don't make mandates.

Yes, I believe they do.  Except that I believe Kings and Queens do not make mandates.

[Vester]

You basically have a handless ruler flopping around all over the fort.

Fun!

[EvilTwin]

make a backup save and look in legends mode what lopped her hand off, tell us that result 

[hrmfk]

Nah, I'll keep her - I like the social challenges.  I even use hammerers and sheriffs and the economy all that crap.

I have a lever at the end of a remote mine shaft littered with dwarf skeletons and hammers, and a neat looking door at the entrance of the shaft. Whenever new hammerers get here, we're like "Heeeyy! Dude! What's up! Come on in, make yourself comfortable, can we get this guy a drink? Oh, hey- actually, could you run down and pull this one lever real quick?"
