Here's the worldgen.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Not sure if history will go exactly the same, though. If it doesn't turn into The Age of Legends for year 90 and back to The Second Age of Myth in year 91, history is different.

Some say Boatmurdered was ruined, all traces of it distroyed by it's final inhabitants. Most wished to think that the horror ended when it's last sane inhabitant left, leaving a broken city to rot for good. Hah, to think that this universe would be merciful ...

Fools, such primal bloodshed and carnal slaughter is of the sort that sends ripples across time and space, causeing dark things to form in the bowls of other worlds, other planes of existance. Some places were sieged by the infernal spawn of one of the dead of that place, ending that orignal, cursed realm for good.

Yet, that is only the beginning. In that sin-scaped lands death-throws, the souls of the infernal Elephants merged with those of the shrieking dwarven souls, and this blob of discord and self-hatred passed thru many worlds, many lands, until the chimeraic abomination of souls and sin merged within a new world, with new, impotent gods ignorant of the thing's history paying no heed to the newcomer as it slipped within the dark bowls of this new world to grow, a flabby, tumorus thing that nursed itself on magma and primorial ooze.

And as such, Gedor, for that was the thing it called itself, slowly formed a crude body, with the form of a humanoid yet with fectures betraying it's hellish origins. It's single eye was all it needed, for one only needs to see slaughter from one point of view. It decided to support the act of thievery and all its forms, from that of stealing joy to peace on this world. Bloated on self-worth and on the flesh of the dead, it slowly made it's way out of the underworld to the surface.

As it rose from the blackest pits in the beginning of time, it was already preparing to share it's self-hatred and anger at all things. It unofficaly led goblinkind, for they died the fastest on the field against dwarves. It ruined citys, toppleing empires with a single swipe of it's bloody trunk and threw thousands apon its tusks.

And that is the tale, boys and girls, of Gedor Puzzlesneak the Knot of Hexes. Now run along now, before the boogiemen get yah!

Not a Bug.  An Elephant.

I don't understand, though that is about right with anything DF related.
I just hope he dies the same death that all dwarfs deserve: liver disease.

More like a well-equipped army of 2000 every 4 years, but yeah. And then she CHOWS DOWN.

This is probably symptomatic of the problematic way DF simulates military battles. It essentially treats them as a series of duels, so an army of 2,000 won't be able to kill anything that one of those 2,000 couldn't kill individually.

Warfare, as envisioned by DF world-gen:

So, it appears that the massive loss of life in Boatmurdered caused a tear in the Veil, allowing a powerful demon to possess an elephant.
Is anyone surprised?

The best part is its an elephant CYCLOPS, for any intune with the cyclops and cultural anthropology Its thought that the cyclops mythos stemmed from people finding elephant skulls and believing they came from a giant one-eyed creature.

Its pretty easy to see why.

For those unaware on how they could mistake the trunk opening for a single eye sockets, remember that the upper two little protrusions would often be broken off over the years, being not-to-thick bone peices. Hence, a gigantic, single eye socket of some fiendish beast from the nether that herded sheep and lived on small islands.

Maligncrosses is in the lower-right segment of the world here:

So if you want to embark near there and wait for the goblins to send their general, good luck.


does world-gen interact with DF-mode that well? If you embark on-top-of or right-next-to the 'lair' of some beast like this - do really show up and attack the fort at some point?  Is this a 'titan' attack?? (I noticed something in advanced world-gen settings about restrictions on fort size/wealth for having the titans attack...is that this?)

Since this demon is a civ leader, you'll need a goblin siege with a leader to get the demon to arrive.

If you embark nearby, then they will be the nearest goblin civ, so most likely they will be the ones laying siege to your fortress.
