 « Musicbud the chicken leather dress »

That is what I love about DF, right there.
What other game would make something like that, much less make an engraving of it on something else.

yes i know it's so great. the more artifacts a fort makes the more connected they become!

Now that's epic.. with the exception of the cloud and dress.. Unless it symbolizes something..
Artifact dress, fortress foundation, cloud, and killing a goblin.. Hmm..

It's visual storytelling to show how far the fort has come.  The artifact dress is the title/title page, the cloud is an early primitive transition.  It shows the dwarves establishing the fort, then a cloud goes over the scene (a revolutionary idea at the time, though taken for granted by later generations), and then you see a dwarf killing a goblin in front of a fully developed fort.

If you analyze the story, it shows that the author places a great deal of importance on that artifact leather dress, to the point where he uses it as the title page for the fort's story.
