The glass terrarium is forever lost now, sadly, as "Project Distopian" has failed miserably. Those that didn't die luring the vicious and deadly beasts to the cage traps tantrum spiraled, leaving me with filled kid cages and no way to release my supersoldiers-in-training. The dogs will eventually rabidly kill them or it will stay like this forever. I'm thinking of adventuring it to see what happens. The glass case would make an interesting sell.

Why is OP complaining about a legendary glassmaker is beyond me.

I personally don't bother making anything from glass at all.

Coffins. I consider it to be an ill omen when somebody goes into a mood and a coffin comes out of it.

Last time somebody did that, a surface dwelling forgotten beast (I guess these are called Titans) came and killed exactly one of my best military dwarves in a very horrible fashion. The beast practically ripped my poor dwarf in half. I buried what was left of her in that artifact coffin to ward off further omens - it didn't work though because a siege came right after.

I also got a fell mood where the dwarf took my legendary weapon/armorsmith and butchered him and turned him into a chair.

I don't know why, but I can't stop giggling at this.

If only DF had artifact powers coded in, you could at least hope that maybe it's a Throne of Smithing, where someone who sits in gets a temporary boost to their smithing skill or something....

Cue unpleasant flashback from The Use of Weapons.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

Not my artifact, but while searching through legends mode i found a book some necromancerdwarf wrote.
the book was 213 pages long, bound in giant weasel bone, called the sun sets on the dwarf and was centered on the autor.
who would write 213 pages about yourself and how awesome you are or something?

Dwarf fortress ethics.
Of course there's an ethical way to train doctors! Toss children off short cliffs. Since they're not useful adults, injuring them isn't a waste of valuable labor, and since they're not nobles, it's ethical to use short cliffs instead of tall ones!

My first artifact in my newest fortress was a chestnut barrel decorated with chestnut. Just to drive home the point, it was named "Spurnmetals the Pure Mines". What do you think you are, an elf?!
