I just started a new adventure. Went looking for some companions at the only nearby fortress, and there was nobody there. That is common on my trips, so i left and went back to the spawn village.

Once i got there, i found it was completely deserted. The shops and everything were empty. So my questions are:

1: Can i take the items without consequence?
2: Is there an easy way to check the legends viewer, without having to retire? (I have dfhack if it helps)

Edit: I only just noticed the questions forum. If it could be moved there, i will be happy.

Edit 2: Nevermind the legends. I just retired a duplicated save.

Edit 3: Seems there is some history here, and it must be recent. The nearby villages didnt mind me raiding everything worth something. I will go kill the nearby beasties and hopefully they will want to join me, so i can get to the next village at least.
Edit 3: Nevermind again. I just took the stuff.

I will find out how the city was cleared out, and i will murderate whoever did it.

They most likely starved to death.
But if you want to murder starvation go ahead :b

The food shops seemed to be in heavy supply. I imagine it was abandoned. I blame the elves.

Edit 1: I have killed a bandit, and now a miner wants to join me on my foolish quest. I got myself to a proper civilisation, and hopefully i will make it to the dark fortress, that i so desperately want to get to for reasons i forgot.

Edit 2: It seems this village is completely abandoned too. I blame the elves again.

Edit 3: It seems EVERY village seems to have died off in a matter of days. I have adventured on this small world before, yet every village seemed to be alive back then.

Edit 4: I just got 1shotted by a goblin with a masterwork sword. Hate.

The items for shops come out of nowhere, but I'm pretty sure that is fixed in the next update, one of the things talked about them actually getting items from somewhere.

I have seen towns, with bandits attacking the citizens, killing several. One one occasion was ambushed just outside a  town, by over 30 goblin bandits. This suggests that monsters, bandits move around on the map, interacting with villagers.
 Using the retire a fort trick, I have noticed they will also attack citizens in a retired fort

Could be worse. I had generated a world that had no living civs at all in it. Just a bunch of abandoned towns and forts :/

Same here. Once I modded in my dominant golem species, the world was basically blank, aside from the capital.

I genned an empty town world once. My inventory was ridiculously full of gems and iron weapons. Kills a lot of the fun to be honest.

To that being 1-shot-killed by a goblin with a masterwork sword thing, you would have hated to be that hammerman I killed at one point. I hacked him in the chest (tearing either his heart or one lung), lopped off his leg, and hacked him in the head. I killed him in 3 hits. With no help (I had companions, though). With a no-frills, standard (no symbol) iron great axe.

To the abandoned towns, I wandered into one (without knowing it was abandoned at the time) and saw groundhogs wandering around in it. I thought, "Huh. Animals don't usually wander in towns". Then I notices the roofs had stone instead of wood. I (literally) jumped down, and [l]ooked at the walls. They were Smooth Conglomerate. Then I thought, "That's strange. House walls aren't normally made out of stone". I walked into a shop, hoping to get a few metal items. Nothing was inside. That's when it hit me: "Oh, crap, this town's abandoned!" I now blame the goblins. And I was an ELF the whole damn time, so don't blame it ALL on us elves.
