My first-year caravan brought this.  I had to buy it.  They priced it at 1620 dwarfbux, so I had to order up some trap components for sale.

I genned a world as a test for my modded humans. One of the modifications is using 'HOLY' symbols for most names.
The result is more than satisfying.





And then there's this



Also the poets of this world seem to have a strange fixation on breathing

"Breath: The Dirt Laughs in the Beginning" sounds like a clever title for a book on death.

Breathing: My Only Mistake
Not sure if breathed at inopportune moment, or wishes never to have been born.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Dang it...
it was such an awesome name for an artifact.
Then I figured out I'd misread it.

I'd read it as:
"Ageshrir Durad, "The Contested Ear of Bards", a iron chain.

In my seeking mild entertainment for the night, I accidentally misread Beards for Bards.  Completely changes the meaning, now it lacks all humor.  :S

MORE BREATHING

Also, I just generated a world with a very aptly-named evil plain. It's called The Evil Plain. Plain in two senses of the word.

I'm not really sure that maiming someone and forcing them to live with a crippling disability for your amusement can really be considered "merciful." Just sayin'.
Dwarven mercy.

There's a deity in my pantheon named "Shorast Boyfruits". I was surprised to learn that his spheres were actually labor, crafts and metals.....though to be fair, "flamboyancy" and "homosexuality" aren't spheres yet.

Elven deities dont have spheres

Maybe its an inside joke, or a code among them, "breathing" sounds similar to another word.

No, this is a dwarven deity.

Breeding?  Wreathing?

All of my books on breathing refer to pulmonary medicine.  Which is not nearly as fun as the titles made them sound.

Is this biome reanimating? I really don't want to know what happens when "absurd numbers of megabeasts" is combined with "reanimating biomes".

The funniest two I've had were the Forest of Rough Love and the Breakfast of Mortifying (my inn/tavern).

Breading? Obviously it's about biscuits.

I had a human bard named Aso Snugglescuffle show up.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.
