There are actually grasshoppers in that climate in real lifeAnd obviously, giant grasshoppers would be even more suited for it. A larger body means less heat loss.
Am I missing something here does df world gen create adventurers constantly throughout its time? If it does i wouldn't assume all of them would be given a quest ark. That, as you say, could be computer destroying but to write one for player controlled adventures would be enough.Adventurers die. A lot. If a village gets burned down for each player controlled adventurer, there will be enough ash in the sky to put the world into a new ice age.
Indeed, Hercules pisses on your so called demi-gods.They probably drink it, too. Adventurers are like that.
Upon starting to use the default ASCII, I've noticed that the tiles arent square. This usually is because they are longer than they are wide. Is there a way to fix this?

I was thinking less about a prophesy style thing where the result could or could not happen as that would be a logistical nightmare. As for what these arcs would be they could all be based around the "Heroes journey" http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/smc/journey/ref/summary.htmlThe amount of evets you describe sounds like a logistic nightmare as well. It'd be rather scripted, in contradiction to DF's free and sandboxy nature. The way you make the story sound also inclines that your story would always be similair, with changing targets and locations. Heck, do you know how quickly civilisations will perish if every adventurer gets a foreboding destruction/takeover of his hometown? Remember, adventurers have the tendency to die every few years.
And one more thing personally I think if you just picked :I want to go get that cool sword: at the beginning it would have no sense of mystery or unknown.It doesn't need to be a cool sword. You can pick the cat-bone amulet from one of your earier forts and see where it went, what its users did. But yes, you could chose something easy and unoriginal, or nothing at all. But think about your cool sword. If it's that tough, your next adventurer will want it too. And the ones that follow him. Your cool sword will have a whole history of brave heroes and vile bandits to its name in no time.
That or in (z) stocks under stone, you can allow an economic material to be used for mundane purposes such as building workshops.You probably don't need to do this unless you've been mining a flux layer, though. See if you have boulders laying around.
