Selective Necromancy: The process of which you build a megaweapon to purge the landscape of corpses before they can become undead, but lock a select force of corpses behind fortifications for training purposes. Bonus points for having a captive necromancer and self sufficient, entirely sealed fort for selective siege protection.

Extra Dwarfy: All of the above and a room full of the undead which can be dropped on sieges, AND THEN torch everything.

Necromancer: The best thing to !!SCIENCE!! since execution towers and MAGMA

Keas - 1. A small carnivorous bird known for its curiosity.  2. The pirates of the sky. Keas of the giant variety are known for chomping down on unsuspecting victims on their way to grab tiny necklaces. In reverse, smaller keas are known for lugging away silver hammers while scaring dwarves half to death. After all, anything that can carry an object twenty times its weight deserves to be feared.

Lever - 1. A very curious object with magical powers, capable of flooding fortresses enemies to death with magma with a single pull.  2. Execution method Quality entertainment for nobles.  3. The best way to confuse the next overseer.  4. The shiny stick of !!FUN!!.  5. A dwarf's magic wand. (e.g. magmus maxima)  6. When in doubt, pull the lever.
