Dear Dwarves of Steelflags,

Please, I mean please, just do the food hauling correctly. Why is there 354 ☼giant moose meat roasts☼ just sitting around the prepared food stockpile? Why isn't there an option in this game to tell dwarves to separate stacks into smaller ones?! Toady, fix your game!

It's too big for a barrel, but as long as it's in the food stockpile, dwarven magic will keep it from rotting.

I believe NComannder made a converter for Archcrystals when it updated to a newer version (as in, a dfhack script that added the new stuff) so it should be possible.

I wonder if they'll have kids?

I'd love to see what legends has to say about her.

If anyone is interested, I have a current save here: https://www.5sl.org/~bretscher/df/demonqueengame.txz (28MB). It is region5. Don't accidentally overwrite your own fort.

I have a few things that you should know:
 - There are only two forgotten beasts left in your world. Given that one of them is on your map, I'm pretty sure there will only be one left by the time you read this. That one is settled in a fortress, so you'll never see it.
 - The Mortified Disloyalty actually have two demons living there: the original master, and the master of the Plague of Dabblers (who was actually deposed and only recently regained his position because one of your raids killed the former master)
 - Damn bro, that ettin really did bring you 3 of the 5 slabs of necromancy in your world. Imagine how powerful he would have been if he could read.
 - There are a few dwarves you should interrogate when you get the chance. Sakzul Wheelfells, Vabok Claspwild, Adil Tirewinds, Reg Brassimage the Hermitic Controllers, and Ingiz Wheelmaster. I always keep one crime unsolved so that I can interrogate whoever I want, whenever I want. It's also generally a good idea to interrogate any and all visitors.

Now, about Queen Sitsu.

In a time before time, she rose from the underworld and founded the Hell of Dishes. However, she was not a battlefield leader. She left that to her generals. So when the Hell of Dishes was conquered by the Crafts of Twilight (dwarves) in 19, she was a non-combatant, and they just let her stay. This was not the case in 104 when the Mortified Disloyalty (goblins) conquered the Crafts of Twilight. They imprisoned her in their dark fortress.

There, despite being a prisoner, she formed a group of criminals. She was very successful, bringing many other gangs into her group over the next few hundred years, while also having quite a few artifacts stolen for her. Then, in 382, she felt secure enough and with the help of her loyal criminal group, she toppled the previous queen of the Crafts of Twilight and installed herself as queen.

At the time, the Crafts of Twilight had no actual sites, and were living under the rule of the Mortified Disloyalty. She had no real power, and simply continued to expand her criminal empire. In 550 when your fort was founded she moved to the old dwarven capital. She was actually planning on having one of your artifacts stolen when she was invited to move to your fort. The rest, you already know.

I should also mention that your general, Cilob Lanceblockades, is an absolute badass. After you retook Cavechanneled, he and a handful of soldiers defended it from a counterattack by the Mortified Disloyalty. He won, despite being outnumbered over 300 to 1. He and all of his soldiers now have 30+ kills.

Neat. Will explore.

Currently, she is in the military, and frankly, I am a bit afraid of her. A bit more training I think and she will be able to break the fourth wall. Or something like that.
Learning extremely fast for someone unwilling to listen to anyone.

Demons spawn with natural high combat skills, and depending on her history before coming to your fort she may have raised them even higher. That means she started sparring right away, rather than having to watch demonstrations (ha) until she became competent. Not only that, but sparring causes exhaustion, which doesn't apply to demons because of their [NO_EXERT] tag. She doesn't eat, sleep, or drink either. That means she can train 24/7 with no breaks until she runs out of sparring partners.

I'd love to see what legends has to say about her.

I didn't notice that she was a demon the first time I looked. You've been handed the opportunity to build a fort that will go down in history!
