How useful is this dictionary?

Absolutely useless.
Still useless.

I think you need a part for 'forgotten beast' that explains the name may be derived from how often you forget they exist untill they resurface to rape your fortress.

Keep it SFW :D
(And to propagate propaganda for our forgotten overlords. Epic alliteration).

WolfeyS, Bad Fortress Manager has gone berserk!

Nah, nah, no hostility meant there.

Edit: In fact I have always sorta looked up to Necro as an evil fortress master whom I respect, didn't mean to be a dick about it.

I'LL SPAM ALL I WA-Oh?

When I read someone say "Keep it under control" I relate that to something more like "Keep your rage under control" hence why that confused me.  But you are right I should probably take my hands off my keybo-

Iron
N.
A heavy, magnetic, malleable, ductile, lustrous, silvery white metallic element that is present in very small quantities in the blood and is found primarely in the sedimentary layer. This forms the bread and butter of the fort, as dwarves pride themselves with the ability to strengthen with carbon into steel, the third best substance in the multiverse. However, Armok is able to turn every gift into a curse as Dwarf Fortresses will either have so much iron that all Dwarves simultaneously suffer from imploded livers and extreme laziness or so little that dwarves will punch the hemaglobins out of goblins in a desperate attempt to harvest the ore.

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.

Iron, Goblinite, Furnace have all been added :]

And a small amendment to plump helmets too :P
*Edit, also small amendment to Whip :]

Danger Room:
N.
1. A room built for training soldiers quickly and efficiently by forcing them to block and dodge wooden retracting spikes. 2. A top-secret government project to make the ultimate supersoldiers. It exceeded all expectations, but like all superdwares, they had a fatal flaw: Increased neurosis. Once friendly, normal dwarves become dead shells of themselves after surviving the horrors of the Room, with nothing left but the most primal notions. There have been incidents (officially denied by the government) of entire forts being gruesomly murdered without any sign of outsided intrustion.

Oh, wow... The dictionary doesn't have mermaids!!!  :o Those worthless sea creatures that are harvested by the thousands, bred to produce more mer-livestock, dragged onto dry land, and slaughtered by ingenious means to retrieve their bones (which make pretty fine crowns and scepters).

Long live DF. I like the DF version of mermaids a lot better than Disney's.
