The Ettin Kas, the Taker of Tulips, has been punished for his many crimes against local garden enthusiasts.

I found a human city named Sleevevirgins. It was easily the biggest city in the world, so clearly I wasn't the first person to come inside the city's walls.

The gates of emptiness.
That's not stupid, that's straight from Zen Buddhist canon (The Gateless Gate), but it might also be a reference to the Taoist concept of a gate (or wheel, vase etc.) deriving its usefulness from what is NOT there. A gate without a hole is just a wall, you know? And applied to DF, walling your fortress off like that is a sure way to miss out on a lot of fun.

Deep, man.

For some strange reason, I think "The Awe-Inspiring Rack" was named for less intellectual reasons.

I approve of your ways , but in my opinion the gates of emptiness means there is nothing behind the gates.
So it's kind of they are shitting themselves and being like "whatever ,we got nothing"

Also i just made a new military squad and I got the most serious names ever.

The Gilded Morals

The Diamond Griffons

A book written by a necromancer titled "Can Storage save the world?" by a necromancer. It is about him storing another book in his tower, an essay about his autobiography. Is there a thread about funny stuff found in legends mode? I will make it if there isn't.

One of my more recent forts had a squad named The Red Shirts. I sent them on a scouting mission into the caverns, and that went about as well as you'd expect for a group with that name. Sadly, I failed to capitalize on the situation and didn't send my Expedition Leader, Chief Medical Dwarf, and First Officer Sheriff with them.

When genning a 65x65 world primarily consisting of different evil biomes it's inevitable to get some hilarious names.

first there's a single tile-sized field known as the Living Field. This Living Field is surrounded on all sides by an expansive wasteland known as the God-Forsaken Wastes. Probably gonna build my fort on the border of those two.

The Jungles of Enjoyment, located right next door to the Sinful Forests and the Waters of Shame. Innuendos ho! The Winters of Guilt, the Jungle of Phlegms, the Dune of Smut, the Screaming Fields, and the most terrifying place of all, the Murk of Posts.

Also, one of the largest mountain ranges and the homeplace of all of the dwarves in the world is known as the Powerful Mountain, located high to the north. Not named Mountains, but singular Mountain. Basically I imagine it's a giant mass of mountain rock spanning miles and surrounded on all sides by evil tundras. The dwarves in this world must be seriously metal badasses.

A book called "Glad Trees" which is a two page poem written by a necromancer and not, as I suspected, a painting manual.

My current adventurer is on a continent called "The Land of Murder". It's also a world with an excessive number of megabeasts.

The military is all gathered in one huge mass on top of the ramp to the mountaintop, where the entrance is. Apparently they spend their time taking potshots at owls, pushing babies off the ledge, and giggling.
