my kings consort is his cousin

Hell, that's pretty mild in terms of incest.  And DF has had much worse in the past.  There was a point where the incest was much more pronounced and close amongst the royalty in DF, to the point that it crashed sometimes during worldgen as a result.

[Stargrasper]

That does pretty well represent reality, though.  For something like a good two-thousand years, Europe was ruled by a grand total of something like five families.  Lots of intra-marriage.  This was to keep the royal bloodlines pure.  To taint the royal blood with that of a commoner wasn't just unthinkable, I'm pretty sure it was a capital crime.

[twwolfe]

well, for the commoner, at least

For reference of Star's point, see: The Hapsburgs of Austria. At one point they were in control of four major European powers at once. (well, control of two and claim of two).

but eventually it caught up to them and they all went Stark Raving Mad

And he follows four gods. What a filthy pagan.

I'm guessing Tholtig Zozkikrost translates to "Tholtig Shelbyville Manhattan".

Who are the deities? I'm guessing with that many, there's bound to be some hilarious contradiction in there somewhere.

Deus Mcwhatshisbutt is associated with life, the sun, and rainbows.
Deus McWhogivesarip is associated with death, the moon, and decay.
Deus McLolwut is associated with Fire, Mountains, and Fortresses.
Deus McHeretic is associated with Elves.

Really, though, weird stuff like this seems to happen alarmingly often.

[starburst98]

Onol is jewels and wealth
Zon is fortresses
Sarvesh is volcanos, fire, and happiness. ( lol )
Doren is caverns and earth

[Deimos56]

Those actually fit well together. This is truly an anomaly... and if I remember, the king doesn't 'do' mandates...
I think you've found a sane dwarf. Other than the whole incest thing.
Edit: I just realized how active I'm being lately.

[silhouette]

Incest, worthy of a king.

[Aspgren]

I don't want to defend incest ... but have you guys seen his cousin?

Damn!

[Acanthus117]

Bleh. Incest. I once saw a farmer who married his cousin. his son followed the same pattern. I was dissapointed no Swampfolk showed up.

[Satarus]

More like WINcest!
