[Citizen of Erl]

I was beginning a new hold, and the original seven were hard at work. As is my custom, I let them do their work and went to some other things, checking in periodically. I came back in time to see the metalsmith arrive, and I looked over the hold to see what was happening withit and where to put him to work.

Lo and behold, there was a peasant running around with the seven. I have no clue where he came from. The announcements have no record of him coming at all.

I've had that peasant show up with the metalsmith as well. It doesn't happen every game, and I have no idea if the chance is totally random, or based on fortress factors such as food in stock, amount of space dug, etc.

Sometimes, the peasant and the smith are spouses.  Sometimes not.

in 1 game my smith brought a kid along with the wife

.. + pets

The metalsmith shows up with a pet, a (peasant) friend, or a (peasant) spouse.

There's the answer.
