Yeah- through talking to NPCs mostly.  Nothing exciting, just town foundings and stuff.

Yep, yep. i have got that too. But in the legend screen, does it list anything else ? (or maybe on "legends" there are no specific category for that... I would have imagined things like : the dwarfs invaded that city, thus making it a ruin.)

"In a time before time, so-and-so the demon was imprisoned in adamantine in <region>."

"In 1056, <goblin> attacked <parent> at <my>."

"In 1055, merchants from <human> visited <parent> at <my>."

"In 1055, <my> rejected contact with <elven>."  (Because kobolds ambushed their diplomat after he'd delivered his don't-cut-the-trees ultimatum)

Things like that.

I haven't yet gotten to the adamantine in any game, so I haven't tried digging up the legendary demons.

I ended up creating entries in the Legends in my thick-headed vendetta against the Dark Fortress of Demonsword. Not just from killing and dying there repeatedly, but once one of my human comrades died there, and I avenged him by killing the goblin hammer lord who did it, but then when I went back to the local dwarf queen, she asked me to go avenge that human's death, and take it out on a different goblin at the same place. Then we all got wiped out by a maniac goblin axe lord with a halberd, whom I haven't managed to kill yet. That was fairly well represented there, but was mainly just records of named characters killing each other.

Nothing really happens in the past right now.  When there are actually armies in the game it will also generate the histories more properly as well.  It's a process.  Right now I've just got some of the necessary infrastructure in place.
