Personally, I feel like modding in cobalt, it's a nice color.

Of course. The elves aren't the only ones who get pissed off when you clear-cut a forest.

Hm... Just skimming the raws here, but it looks like it's generally broken up into sentients, predators, and grazers. I believe the predators will try to eat almost anything, most grazers will try to run from everything, and most sentients will try to burn everything to the ground.

How does one extract from a Forgotten Beast, exactly?

I have learned, quite conclusively, that slade can be used for blocks and furniture, as well as stone crafts. Whether moody dwarves will request it is still unknown, but in theory it should be possible. This also means that nobles mandating slade furniture no longer need to die. Usually.

Update:

Turns out that I was slightly over-complicating matters by using sub-par miners. You can, in fact, get slade by simply channeling up into the floor above. That being said, I have a new, well-off fort and I've cleared out the undead and hatched over the glowing floor, so I can release the clowns one or two at a time for training purposes later. I am officially ready to start my slade studies in full.

Looter! Kill him with redwater!

If he does not carry a bag in his inventory¹ and isn't going towards your gold/platinum/adamantine/high-value/quality item stockpiles, then said elf is not, repeat, NOT a looter.

ThatAusieGuy has shown that caravans will exit through HFS if it's a viable map edge.

Them elves are goin' to Hell anyway 

Be it literally, or through the loss of his unprotected² life.

¹_{No, saying that his pack animals have bags, barrels or bins is also NOT an excuse. (and besides, the elf entry in the entity_default.txt lacks the [ITEM_THIEF] tag. This should be hard-coded to keep them from stealing stuff)}

²_{Not saying that your candy-clad legendary +5 axedwarfs won't defend them (though I know you'll make them kill pointlessly murder the innocent, helpless Elven traders)}

Come now, I thought I've made it quite clear that while I scorn, kill, and even enslave elven men, I am quite..."good" to their women.

I...uh, I was checking over my current military conquest of the underground structure, and I saw a random elf merchant and his pack animals wandering around among the corpses... He seems like he knows what he's doing, so I guess I'll just leave him to it for now...
