[Peacefulfoot the Bloody]

Dwarves love fire. They love it, and cherish it, and want to be close to it.
I thought my fortress couldn't burn from the outside. Turns out I forgot about the one wooden door, that leads into my military barracks. Legendary macedwarves also love fire.
Admittedly, it is my fault for poking holes in the volcano above my fortress.

My stockpile caught on fire and dwarves insisted on continuing to use it. At least fifteen of them died.

Apparently, dwarves also love Prickleberries Jubilee and Dog Flambe.

These fires are making me thirsty.
Let's head over to the flaming stockpile for a drink.

Or head on over to the magma pool! What do you mean it doesn't work like that....

I had a soap maker spontaneously combust once. Admittedly, I was pumping magma through a questionably-safe pump at the time.

The weird thing is that he wasn't anywhere near the Suicide Pump, the room it was filling, or any possible ignition source in general.

That there is the natural biological defense mechanism in case a dwarf suddenly realises that they're all being controlled by an unseen overlord.

In one of my very first forts I had, I swear, a cook spontaneously combust.  While butchering elephants.  Just suddenly his head was on fire.  I was brand new to DF though so he probably had like a Fire Imp Leather Hat on or something that I didn't know enough to find. 

Even so, epic cartoon in the original thread here:

"I shall speak with you the Prophecy of the Throne..."

"Dwarven nobles prove their worth by attempting to take their seat on the ever-burning throne. It is said that the true king shall resist the flames and be the master of both fire and The Crystal of Reverences."

[Sunkwell]

I remember stories of dwarves overcoming deathpits and carp infested rivers for a single !!pig tail sock!!.
It's very likely a dwarf left the fortress on a quest after such a hat
