Turn [ENGRAVINGS_START_OBSCURED:NO]  to [ENGRAVINGS_START_OBSCURED:YES] in your init raws.  That will let you see more detail about who the elf is and why he's on the artifact.

[Satarus]

You mean setting [SHOW_ALL_HISTORY_IN_DWARF_MODE:YES]

[Sphalerite]

Crap. Yeah, ignore what I said.  Set [SHOW_ALL_HISTORY_IN_DWARF_MODE:YES].

That's what I get from posting from work where I can't look at my init files.

It's a shame you can't make an idol into an archery target.  Or just arbitrary things in general.  Engraved yourself engraving cheese again?  Hmm on that thought it's a shame you can't make arbitrary dwarves into archery targets.

[Gara-nis]

I have decided to put the creator of the artifact to work smoothing the walls of my entire fortress. This is to be his last work. He will thereafter be sealed alive in a tomb of his own making.

Holy fuck. This needs to go on the suggestions page. Right now. I can see it now: Urist McCrossbowman cancelled Train: Archery Partner "misplaced".

It'd need to be a seperate labor. "Arrow-catcher", say. Give him a quiver and he could save the bolts or arrows he dodges.

Of course, a Legendary Arrow-catcher with Elite Wrestling would make siege an even greater exercise in futility, but the idea of a single dwarf venturing out towards a siege and returning with a couple of hundred arrows in his quiver is too amusing to pass up. Legendary Arrow-catcher would be truly lethal in Adventure mode as well seeing as how you could combine it with Throwing.

this goes into suggestions , zasit is in dwarf langugage , check  him in legends , if zasit did not do a single thing to help dwarfs , turn the creator of the artifact into MAGGOTS

[Viprince]

This is clearly meant to be used as a weapon, against elves. The engravings are just a diagram to depict the weak points of elves! Smash that idol into some elven skulls with a champion already.

[Ze Spy]

you , sir , gave me a mental image :

champion up in his camp
throwing idols in your face
if you try to get up to his face he will smash the idol in your face
and he has smashed the elf in the face!
and now the elves dead

SONOFA... Again, a badass artifact is ruined by ELFERY!

Becorkurol, "Temptembraced", a Raw adamantine bracelet: This is a Raw adamantine bracelet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with Aquamarine, decorated with human leather and encircled with band of Raw adamantine and Billion. This object is adorned with hanging rings of dwarf leather. On the item is an image of Zasit Relicdawn the elf in Raw adamantine.

This damn world is under the dominion of the stinking elves! This is one of the most badass artifacts I've ever gotten... It has human AND dwarf leather! And it's made of raw adamantine! And the only freaking image is of a freaking elf.

[Kaiser Reinhard]

Funnily enough all my engravers seem to be obsessed with Elves getting killed by goblins or other elves. Engravings of elves dying make up 25% of all engravings in my fort.

[wagawaga]

As long as elves are dying/burning/withering and not smiling or winning it's a good thing.

[twwolfe]

As long as elves are dying/burning/withering and not smiling or winning it's a good thing.

or being like Cacame and leading your Civ to war against the elves

[silhouette]

As long as elves are dying/burning/withering and not smiling or winning it's a good thing.

On the item is an image of elves and dwarfs, The elves are surrounded by the dwarves. the elves are burning, the elves are smiling, the dwarves are in a fetal position, the dwarves are screaming.
