My current megaproject is a massive ship made out of clear glass, so I've called it "clearship".

Angerstorm. It was like puberty all over again. Strangely, two children dwarves made artifact figurines of my axe champions. Probably listened to metal while doing it, too.

Walledloves.

Group: The Prestigious Attic.

Not quite as good as some of the others, what makes this group is their deity:  Figule Greatestward the tower gems.  Blahblah blah takes Dwarf form blah blah.  Associated with: Trade, Wealth, Deformity, Disease, Blight, Death, War, and Fortresses.


He is quite honestly, the most Dwarfy God ever.

The fortress name is Smashtower, which sounds like some kind of dwarven Thunderdome.

The group name is The Urns of Circling. I'm pretty sure that's a toilet.

The tundras of starvation. Okay, so that's a location name, but still.

Worshipgrove where i started my first cult forest fortress. The god was named Anan The Rough-Phlegm Of Wasting. I don't even know how to check what he was the god of, but the backstory I made up was he was an obscure dwarven god of love and kindness, and demanded all who don't worship him die horrible deaths. Then that fortress died from dire wolves and GCS gray forest drakes.

I started a fortress yesterday that was named Shorttower.  Short is what it was.  While my two miners were digging the ramp down, skeletal creatures finished off everyone else.  Since it was a site I didn't like, I deleted it.  What good is a volcano pipe that extends a dozen levels into the air?  And the brook was frozen.  Skeletal creatures were just the last straw.

I think I once saw a Forest of Trees.

Not to mention, I once had an artifact buckler with a ridiculously long name (which I have since forgotten). Every single word was about defending.
