[Mr Space Cat]

"Aned was a god appearing in the myths of The Defense of Torrid Lances. Aned was most often depicted as a skeletal female dwarf and was associated with death, war, and fortresses."

The game, it knows. It knows what a player's dwarven fortresses are like.

EDIT: Also got a dwarf in the starting seven named Zefon Wetpaint. Caution, do not touch dwarf.

[VerdantSF]

Heheh, awesome names, Space Cat!

[Dwarf4Explosives]

That's the most remarkably sane-sounding description and title I've ever seen on a god.

Also, the wet paint dwarf sounds hilarious.

Just genned a civilization whose pantheon includes "Udar (rain) Rainflew the Rainy Sky-Heaven of Rain."
Udar Rainflew the Rainy Sky-Heaven of Rain is not the god of rain.
The god of rain is Shosel, which means "fragrance."

Facepalm.

I've just come across a spectacularly fruity elf called Vadane Stylesparkle. His outfit was glorius, darling. Shame I made a mess of it and him with my axe.

So what is Udar the god of, then?

Fortress named: Battlecheese.

ONWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!

I'm actually surprised that I managed to find a somewhat relevant image.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Though I don't believe a cheese warhammer would be too useful, even if it was legendary.

[DarkArtemisFowl]

Nonsense. A properly trained, selectively bred dwarf can use this weapon for a dual purpose: nutrition and death by cheese at the same time.

[Helgoland]

War cheese, as it was meant to be.

[Mr Space Cat]

"No More The Book", a mythskin bound book. The writing is quite cruel yet it is very concise. Ironically, it was surrounded by various other books, most of which were written later than it.

"Are You Blazing?" The written portion consists of a 266 page novel authored by Galel Gilldrinks the Moist Lakes. It concerns the Scholarly Plains...but the question remains, are you blazing?

Lastly, "Faith and Doom", a 175 page book concerning the secrets of life and death. The writing is as vicious as can be.

My current fortress has one Udib Buketotil, a master weaver who has since his arrival become a legendary hammerdwarf, lost a hand to a goblin and retired into the position of a sheriff. His job includes beating up people, and since my mayor is a nutcase who constantly demands featherwood minecarts in a temperate grassland fort, Udib beats people up a lot. His title? "The satiny beauly of bruises."

In a completely unrelated fort, I once had a dwarf whose name was Mechanism Mechanismmechanism. He was a cook.

I think, when the next version comes out, I'll be doing some hardcore pantheon science.

You've got one very unrelated name next to two very sensible names, one moderately logical name (rain comes out of the sky usually) and several plain ones. That means you're lucky.

Also, I would quite definitely buy "Are you blazing?" if it existed in real life. Of course, it would also have to mean blazing as in fire, rather than anger.

I've heard the dwarven 4/20 movement has held "Are you blazing?" as a compelling argument for the legalization of gnomeblight as a safe and consumable substance. At least, to dwarves.
