They continue as a river that runs through the rest of the area outside of where your dwarves are allowed to go

What would happen if Steve from minecraft (master miner, archer, swordsman, armor user, craftsman, and other such things) were to migrate to a dwarf fortress?

Be put to work as a glassmaker with a magma glass furnace with unprotected access to the magma sea. Then get noscoped by a magma crab in the head.

Steve has been shot and killed

What would Urist do if they had a pet magma crab?

EDIT: Wrong thread.

Why can't magma crabs be used as makeshift handheld ballistic weapons?

Religious sects don't exist because it almost seems like everyone inside if a race already follows an extremely polytheistic religion and just choose whatever god(s) they prefer to worship, unless that counts as creating sects. Also there are mercenaries, who else do you think guards the caravans?, and there are sudo-knights (is that the right word? Sudo?) IIRC relatives of royals become consorts which IIRC is like a knight but then again I could be horribly off

Shush, random chat belongs in general.

Money can't buy you love kitten biscuits. And it's too hard to use as bedding.

Why is gold considered so valuable in-game, when it's just about the most abundant metal and can't even be used for weapons or armour?
