Etur suffered almost no injuries from the event, nor was it in any way notable or memorable.

Ah, but you see, the statue is not necessarily about Etur's "accident." Rather, it is a commemoration of a comic irony in Dwarven culture - the stoutness of the dwarven child prevailing over the death-trap that minecarts so usually are. What your records fail to state is that not only did Etur receive no injury from the incident, they were in fact so sturdy that the minecart received a sizeable dent. Stories of the incident have been hyperbolized from Etur being struck by the minecart, to Etur intentionally standing in front of the cart as a test of strength, to Etur being some sort of memetic hunter, tracking down and headbutting minecarts wherever they lurk.

[Fleeting Frames]

Agreed that it is pretty remarkable. Minecarts have caused the most injuries and deaths in my actual fortresses so far, so for a child as young as they come to not even be injured....Etur you lucky dwarf.

Compared to that, statues of gods seem trite.

[Ironfang]

But the cart was also made of extremely light wood. But yes, such an event would still be impressive. Better than my dwarves making a bunch of their works depicting the dozens of masterwork goblets made by a 13 year old girl.

Dear greater fire imps of my fort,
In some places you would be referred to as a 'minority', but considering you outnumber us 32.5 to one, this seems incorrect.
Why exactly did all 130 of you join us? I guess it's good, because maybe any attacking fire imps might speak diplomatically with you, instead of just burning us to the ground.
with regards,
Your singed overseer.

I've had worse. "Urist McBroker has turned into a werewolverine!" .....Most surprised elvish traders EVER.

[Ironfang]

Dear Urist McBroker's next of kin

I am deeply sorry for your loss, but the death of the appraiser of legends is a tragedy for us all.  None know why Urist decided to take part in underground trap setting. All that we do know, is that Jabberers appear to be vengeful. Please take solace in the fact that they were paralyzed below the neck while they bled out on the mossy floor while other civilians fled for their lives until the military arrived.

Sincerely-Your Overseer

Yeah, that's pretty bad. I've had were beasts turn in the middle of the mead hall during a performance actually, but were brokers have never been an issue.

[ReynTheLord]

Dear Urist McFruitgatherer,

Don't bother giant black mambas.
It wasn't bothering you, and you had no business attacking and punching the thing to death because you hate snakes.

Poor bugger never stood a chance.

Dear Overseer,

I identify as a mongoose. Don't discriminate.

Signed, Urist McSnakeEater

"I'm stiiiilll... in a dream, Urist mcSnakeEaterrrrrrrrrrrr...."

Now, with that out of the way.

Dear Urist McDoomguy
Yes, digging into the circus may be "Fun", but at least wait till we AT LEAST HAVE A FUNCTIONING FORT UNTIL YOU UNLEASH THE CLOWN CAR! Another issue, uristMcLazybum, stop treating hauling as priority number one.

Urist McDarwinAward, your name is all the explanation I need.

Explanation maybe, but not enough story. How did McDarwinAward earn his award?

Ah, the old "go to the danger collecting something unnecessary, then get killed by the danger and drop clothing that someone else can collect" thing.
