The fortress of Taronmonom, "Yellpapers"

My civ is Nebéltobul, "The Admired Canyons"

I don't remember by group name...is there a way to see this without yet having any engravings or artifacts? (Yes, I'm a habitual world-restarter. I don't think I've gotten past 3 years in a single fort yet.)

So I check outside my fort entrance, and the ground is covered in vermin remains.  And by covered, I mean there is what looks like a river of rat parts, rotten turtle meat, lizard remains, fly and dragonfly remains, etc.  This was across pretty much the entire surface of my embark.  I only had four cats/kittens at the time, two war dogs, and around three puppies - so I don't think they were responsible for the carnage. 

I can't say I fully understand what caused such a massive extermination of all small surface life.

(Hot biome, a couple pools around and a brook; the remains kind of followed the profile of the brook. I wonder if this is somehow related to the infamous "deadly rain" others have reported in 30.18. I haven't seen any of my outdoors-dwarves suffering any injuries though.  I'm pretty sure it's only "wild" hostility as well.)

On a completely unrelated note, I'm frustrated by that hunter who ran out of ammo before killing that elephant; now it's just standing in a pool of its own blood and vomit.

I've not been around for long, so this is my best to date (and it has to make me laugh - my Mason took ages making it):

Mangudiz Kebon Igam, Lashedpresent the Odors of Gorging, a bituminous coal floodgate (seriously?)

a Staggering 45,600 DD

"This is a bituminous coal floodgate. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is encrusted with bituminous coal, decorated with horse bone, mahogany and highwood and circled with bands of horse leather.  This object menaces with spikes of llama bone. On the item is an image of a goblet in steel. On the item is an image of two forgotten beasts in horse leather."
