The symbol I picked out for my latest volcano embark:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

On an unrelated note, I'm going to have to see if I can name a fortress "Evitable," so that I can say that anything that happened in it "was in evitable."

See if you can name it "avoidable" or some such if that doesn't work.

I wish I could save this dorf until we finally get ships - a king called Zon Sinkboats. Also, you know the saying "Life's a beach and then you fry?" Well, some elves in that world decided to name their civ The Basic Beach. Finally, maybe it's just me, but I found a natural force called The Beard of Nuts rather adorable.

I wasn't paying to much attention to names, then I figured out that my first fps dead kind of working fortress was called Attictrotted, but I misread it Atticrotted for a long time.
I gived a try to adventure mode and the first quest I got was to kill the dusk monster mate Pabat Ultralemons in his liar Fataldead. I was to scared to go on.

Hint: Pabat was not the terrifying name.

In Legend mode it turned out that the one giving me the quest was her wife, but maybe that's quite usual.

In the Forest of Seduction or something like that, I assume?

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" is a saying :p (Though not quite fitting - it's not like mr. Ultralemons had a choice whether to desert and cheat on his wife.)

It's in the Raw Hill, sadly. But the place was founded by the Contingent Fellowship of the Euphoric Realms, so I assume there was some booze involved even if they are useless humans.

I had a dwarven deity called The Fragrant Beard. Curiously it was a female deity.

Saw a necromancer book in Legends named 'Uncanny Storage.' Sounds like a QSP.

And some book entitled... "Untitled."

Head on down to Uncanny Storage for all your corpse storage needs! (Don't worry, we won't use them to raise an army of undead. Probably.)

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.

I've had great fun with performance troupes who come in and offer themselves for hire in my fortress. They tend to have names like:

The Awe-Inspiring Limbs
The Spires of Pregnancy
The Malignant Sockets
The Low Barbarity


Yes, they sound exactly like groups I'd like to be in charge of my dwarves' entertainment. Where do I sign?
