We believe that Kobolds do not appear in the Civs Screen, so probably not.  However, this may have changed as We play an older version.  Check the Civs Map.  If it shows Kobold Caves,, you can send Missions to Kobolds.

As for Ourselves, one of Our Dwarfs entered a Fey Mood.

The Artifact turned out to be a Toy Axe.  With menacing Spikes.

It's a Toy!  Why does it have Spikes?

They are on the civ screen, but not the holding screen.

Apparently that's a worldgen option, is there any way to mod them in so I can actually get a Baron?

Full of rum and proud of his work, Urist chooses to defend his choice of spikes on the toy axe, so he stands on the table, stomps a few times to quiet the tavern, and loudly yells....
"We need to teach our children to respect and understand spikes, because spikes will be a part of your kid's life..." {dramatic pause}
"When we fight, we use spikes and the enemy uses spikes!"
"When we craft, spikes improve the beauty and function of our trade goods."
"When your kid hugs you...",  Urist waggles a finger at a newly married couple, the proudest dwarfs in the fort, with both of their beards bristling with wax-reinforced beard spikes. He grins.

We are using this in Our Signature.

The Children of Whisperorbs must have studied well then, as it was one of them who crafted the Toy Axe in question.

Seeing as said Artifact is also encrusted, studded, and has at least one Image on it the Child has performed impressively.

On a single day, 13th of Hematite, a human caravan and two Forgotten Beasts arrived in Bridgehammer.

How do I get a caravan-bought animal out of a cage when dwarves seem to not acknowledge its existence and the animal spent about a year categorized as missing as a result?
I really don't want my war elephant army to fail before the first deployment.

My guess is that your elephants starved to death in the cage, and now the only way to get the corpses out (and get them un-missing) is to find the corpse on one of your various item lists and order it dumped. Elephants are grazers, and grazers die if they're not on a pasture with grass.

There are two ways to get a living animal out:
1) Order them to move the animal. I have a couple of pastures right by my Trade Depot where I put my various animal purchases. Especially grazers. You set up the pastures with 'i,' select your area, then you can tell the game it's a pasture with 'n,' and order animals moved there with "N."

2) Build the cage like you would a jail cell, then attach it to a level, and pull the lever. This is generally used if you want to set up some sort of arena where captured besiegers can be massacred by your militia for fun.

@weiserthanyou
I have a habit, when I finish trading, I immediately assign bought animals to pastures.

We have had a most tiresome Year at Whisperorbs.  This Spring, We forgot to flip the Access to Our Trade Depot from Fort-Side to Tunnel-Side so the Elfen Caravan had to take an Exposed Route and one of the Pair spooked.  Seeing as We find their Timing useful for disposing of Worn Clothes, this put Us at a Disadvantage.

In Summer, a WereZebra killed the Human Guild Representative and one of Our Dwarfs.  Thankfully, We did not need to worry about the Caravan.

Come Fall, We were besieged by Goblins.  While none of Our Dwarfs were killed, Our current Methods for entertaining such Visitors are not the most efficient.  As such, We missed the Dwarfen Caravan and the Siege did not lift until the arrival of a Savanna Titan.

Said Titan then fell to the retreating Goblins, which We choose to consider a Stroke of Luck.

It is now Winter, and We refuse to open Our Main Gate to anything short of the Dwarfen Monarch.

At some point during the last siege my necromayor ended up raising and killing a single elf arm sixty two times while trapped under a bridge and now almost every post of his body has an infection... Dwarves are really not the smartest of creatures.

One of my scholars was bit by a werepanda, and survived. I want him to keep contributing to the research effort. So I'm going to build him a little cell next to the library, to see if he can contribute to the group discussions through fortifications.
