I really like the titan idea, but I also want to suggest a few things

1) You can only befriend one forgotten beast/titan/demon in a playthrough. we all know how overpowered most FBs are, let alone one with armor on.

2) if the deity dies, all dwarves get a -10 happiness penalty, labelled "was sad to see a god die recently". all worshippers get a -100 happiness penalty, labelled "was devastated to see his/her god die recently".

3) if the plated beast dies, all soldiers get a -50 happiness penalty, labelled "felt afraid by the death of the plated warbeast recently." they also get a fighting ability decrease equivalent to being dizzy for half a year.

4) if the beast of wealth dies, all workers experience a -30 happiness penalty, labelled "was discouraged by the death of a titan/beast lately.", all workers receive a decrease in crafting ability equivalent to being [hungry/thirsty/tired] for half a year.

5) if allied beast dies, all dwarves get a -10 happiness penalty, labelled "was discouraged by the death of a titan/beast lately."

6) if you ally yourself with a beast, there is a 50% chance of a demon appearing in the next goblin siege. if you manage to kill that demon, the goblins will never appear with another demon.

it's kind of a trojan horse idea.

i forgot to mention. when all the caravans reach the trade depot, an ambush notice plays. all merchants draw their swords and start attacking.

i actually had three separate forgotten beasts trapped in the same area. too bad none of them were as awesome as Ura.

my broker is a legendary appraiser, so it must be the traders

started a new squad of marksdwarves with absolutely zero experience in marksdwarfship.

my reasoning is that 10 rookie marksdwarves are still deadlier than 10 rookie fighters.

basically I tried (emphasis on try) to think of the ten most random challenges and see other try to complete them.

1 ) Black Knight: survive having all your limbs chopped off then kill 10 people while limbless.

2 ) Fear the night: wrestle a boogeyman to death

3 ) Armok's blessing: cover yourself in the blood of 20 different enemies

4 ) Coward: throw a chicken at a fleeing enemy. the chicken can be a corpse

5 ) Volcanoic Sacrifice: somehow get an enemy (bonus if megabeast) to fall into a volcano

6 ) Corpsing: kill a necromancer with a corpse

7 ) Village wars: start a loyalty cascade in a village

8 ) Flash Freeze: force an enemy to freeze itself in water

9 ) Klutz: kill yourself in a cave in

10 ) Servant of Thanatos: start an age of death/emptiness.

i forgot that i locked the doors to the caverns.

One dwarf, my armorer in training, threw a tantrum because her shoes wore away.

luckily, she didn't go beserk and i managed to pacify her in time with dwarven beer and mandates for steel leggings.
