In my current world, out of 34,172 historical figures, there were 10 Urists. One of them was a revenge goddess, though.

An appropriate name, considering it means "dagger". (I once named an adventurer Urist Daggerdagger. Great times.)

You just gave me an idea for a fortress, thanks.

"Zaneg Racklocks the Speechless Wrath" - A guard who leveled up in wrestling very quickly and didn't have time to make friends. He was wounded in sparring, brain damage and punctured lung.

Due to his brain damage he cannot make friends and has only a mule to confine in. He has 3 passing acquaintances, all whom died in the great tantrum spiral of '198... in which he had to perform his duties and beat five of his fellow dwarves to death.

 I like to think that he is slightly retarded, constantly in pain, shunned by his fellow dwarves for what he did ... and a mute. "The speechless wrath" indeed.

Theres this new method of healing your dwarves, called "amputation". This should only be performed if, and only if, you want to save your dwarf...

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

Even if you have dwarves decked out in cotton candy they will still have fun with clowns.
