I was about to post one of these but your book covers it--an individual impersonating someone else goes so far as to write under that person's name. In both cases I've seen now, it's been a book apparently written by a deity preaching the goodness of the devil impersonating them.

How do you get these out of Legends mode? I haven't managed it yet. Also, how do you identify warebeasts/necromancers/vampires etc?

[Lord Snow]

So.

A guide to humans, for the dabbling gecko brute would-be-human-leader?
lol

They are listed @ artifacts.

Necromancers are listed as necromancers in historical figures.
No idea if you can filter them, just stumbled over 1, with links (master of, student of, wrote book so and so...) to other stuff


Edit: apparently i've also got multiple books named "untitled".
and one "[name] - fact or fiction?" which has an empty space at the end of it "concerns..." part.
Guess thats fiction!

It would appear that some things aren't identified at all. I've just found someone listed as a "female dwarf" with 2194 non-notable kills, who "tamed the giant cave swallows in the depths of the world", fled from 59 different settlements, was a former member of 53 civilisations (and an enemy of one and a general of another). I'm thinking vampire, but I'm not sure. Can't check either, she got herself shot two years before the end of world gen.

EDIT: Nope, not a vampire. Or maybe it is. I've got one of those identified further down the list. The whole thing is similar, except that they're identified as a vampire and there's nothing about going into the depths of the world. Perhaps a warebeast?

There is also another dwarf further down the list who made a journey into the tundra, tamed some polar bears, then started getting attacked by various people until she died of old age. It certainly means something, but I'm not sure what.

EDIT2: I've got a goblin with more or less the same story, except that they only managed to kill one person (notable this time, the first one) before being murdered (and it was described as a "murder"). The only constant  seems to be some kind of violence.

EDIT3: Well, scrap that idea. I've now got an elf that made three journeys into the wastes of various kinds, tamed camels and alligators, then promptly did absolutely nothing for the rest of her life. Some dwarf has gone for one-up-manship and made six trips to the depths of the world, tamed stuff on all of them, then immediately died of old age. It appears to be necessary but not sufficient for "raising general suspicion after a murder".

EDIT4: It's certainly not the only source of warebeasts. I've found a profaning one "[GOD] cursed [VICTIM] to assume the form of an [ANIMAL]-like monster every full moon in [LOCATION]". Confirmed, however, that warebeasts aren't identified in their titles in legends mode. Nonetheless, the above is probably not a warebeast, as they seem to get "devoured xxx in xxx" rather than "raised general suspicion after a murder in ...". Vampires do have the general suspicion message though. Perhaps these are vampires that are created later, and that causes the trips into the wastes, rather than the wastes causing the murder sprees?

So far the most amusing I've found is "The World Without Give Me The Book" which was a book about "Give me the Book" which was probably one of four different "Give me the books" which in turn was each about other books.

Books about Books about Books.

In my Legends there are 13 books, all authored by Ustol Frigidsoots the Sadness of Riddling..

Ustol's favorite topic is a skinless demon named Cemato Mysterymenaces the Obscure Secrets..

He wrote 'We See The Skinless Demon',
'Cemato Mysterymenaces The Obscure Secrets: My Only Mistake'
'Cemato Mysterymenaces The Obscure Secrets Exposed'
'Cemato And The Glum Flesh'
'Uncanny Lawgiver' (also about Cemato fooling a civ and becoming lawgiver)
'The Fortress In The Modern Era' is about Womanthunders, home of Cemato..

All the books written by Ustol are in fact stored at Womanthunders, and were stored by Cemato the Skinless..

Because in the 4th year Cemato Mysterymenaces fooled The Puzzling Union into believing he was Ustol Frigidsoots the Sadness of Riddling..

My world has a book called "The Human: Then The Fool Foretells In The End" about a human necromancer (and possibly how he was a fool and foretold the end).

The author is named Gili Fancyauthors.

Quite an appropriate name for an author, don't you think.

"The Dwarves Washed"

"The Wizard's Guide to Annihilation"

Also an untitled letter written by a necromancer about himself described as "Stunningly self-indulgent."

God, what a vain warthog demon.

[Cespinarve]

All the books in my world were written by Lidod, and they are all about himself, naturally.

Ironically, I'm reading this thread while I should be writing a report...

[TailorTF]

Cross-posting from the "Funniest Names" thread,there is a book written by a necromancer titled "The Human:My Only Mistake" in my world.It concerns a person who she married and was written over 140 years after his death.
