Ominous image indeed.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Copied from my own post on another thread:

While there isn't anything special about the artifact itself, but take a look at the name and think of the OTHER definition of throne.  :D

That would be one example of Dwarven toilet humor, lol!

Another example would be that my mayor in the fort I just genned likes cats for their aloofness.
I drafted him, and the cats wont let him die. ::)

I like how that throne refers to itself.

You don't remember Planepacked? That was the ultimate form of a self-referencing artifact. (and the name makes me think that artifact names are not 100% random ;))

I assume it's because artifact history is created either the moment the mood strikes or the moment Urist McDammithespossessedandnotfeywellatleastitsnotfell begins working on a mysterious construction, and the art used to decorate it is decided the moment the image is added.
I'd say it's most likely when the mood strikes or when the workshop is claimed, since according to the possessed mood's mutterings, the name is already decided.

I love the name on this one. The flask it mentions  was the first artifact of this fort, it was worth over 100k
