Alright, so, a human diplomat arrived at my site and immediately keeled over dead. Intensely curious, I popped saved my file, copied to the desktop and abandoned the fort to go check out legends (One day that'll be an easier process, I hope). Anyways, it turned that she was the law-giver of the human civilization. At first I was very impressed, but then I thought it might just be because Toady has only a limited number of officials programmed in right now. Thoughts, fellow DFers?

EDIT: Also, weird things. In legends it says, naturally, in 1055 The Seal of Ages abandoned Rareroped (the fort). But immediately afterwards it says that The Pick of Spires formed in Rareroped. What is that all about?

Anyone can be a diplomat just now.  I often end up meeting with human cheese makers and pump operators.  It's a funny coincidence that it actually sent a genuine noble in your case.

When you abandon, your fortress automatically generates a name for the reclaim group.  If you go to reclaim, you'll find that your reclaim group has that name as the default.  If you change it, the Legends mode will adjust accordingly, too.

Maybe the humans just respect him more than you.

That'd mean they respect him more than me too though.

Welp, we can't have that. Release the giant war eagles.

The "generic" diplomats only showed up in version 0.31.12 - if you're running any later version, then Humans will send their law-giver once you have a Baron since law-givers seem to often be responsible for diplomacy. In fact, humans would send their law-giver under the same circumstances even in 0.31.12, but only the first year after you got a Baron (since they weren't being replaced properly).

In other words, this is completely normal.

So... what killed her?

Oldage?
Humans tend to send you their 150 year old diplomats.

[Aspgren]

Aye but you never know. Worldgen could have messed up her lungs or something; causing her to suffocate on arrival.

I checked Legends. Old age.
