Daughter of King Meng. Became a farmer (she was still a child when Meng first went to war with the elves). Married Tekkud Letterpulley. Became leader upon Meng's death. Died in battle due to Iru Duneplunged. One daughter: Tholtig.

Olon Orblabors (b: 79 d:242)
Son of Goden/Tosid. Married Kumil Oldhandle and worked as a fishery worker. Fought a cyclops but lost. After a fight with the titan Washey that saw the death of the crown princess, he retired from warfare and became a diplomat.

Unib Lancemet (b:70 d:93)
Daughter of Goden/Tosid, a ranger, shot 8 elves and was in turn shot and killed.

Mafol Drilledhammer the Violence of Forests (b: 110 d:140)
Third of Tholtig's sons. Worked as a farmer. Has his mouth burned by the dragon Vush, that everyone worshipped. Lost his right index finger to an elf. Was shot and killed.

Urist Joinedrings (b:114 d:152)
Youngest of Tholtig's daughters. Also a farmer. Fought the dragon Vush. Killed by the hydra Awim.

Erush Racktoned (b:105 d:195)

Obok Willbolt (b:57 d:227)
Only son of Alath's daughter Rakust and King Meng's eldest son Ingish Stirtreaty. A scout, probably an axedwarf. He, Logem, and Tholtig formed a kind of three-dwarf army in the later years of Circletower, because no elf could hope to match them. Perhaps there was more to simple camaraderie to their relationship?

Tholtig Cryptbrain (b:91 d 247)
Daughter of Queen Mestthos and Tekkud Letterpulley. As soon as she came of age she started butchering elves, and didn't stop until she died of old age. She became the last ruler of Circletower in 121, when the Age of Myth ended and the Age of Legend began. Children: Erush Racktoned, Mafol Drilledhammer, Urist Joinedrings, four other daughters and three other sons.

Logem Shaketomes (b: 85 d:237)
Son of Goden/Tosid. Like his wife , he seems to have been a warrior from the moment he was born. Like Tholtig, the dozens of battles and decades of warfare that made up the only existence he ever knew were reduced in Legends Mode to "Struck down the elf" X 2000. It is up to the reader to interpret his life.

[Vester]

Oh wow. That's all of them?

Also, when exactly did the war start?

Also: Alath is an adventurer, then... hum. He could be prototypical.

Also, what happened with Vush? Was he still alive when worldgen stopped?

[Haspen]

Tholtig (and her relatives, and the whole conflict, and megabeasts, and...) deserve more fanfic.

And a book.

"This is an Adamantine Book. All of it's craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is studded with Adamantine. It is adorned with hanging rings of Adamantine. It is encircled with the bands of Adamantine, menaces with spikes of Adamantine and contains the glorious yet tragic history of the greatest dwarf in history, Tholting Cryptbrain the Waning Diamonds."

[darkflagrance]

Vush, full name Vush Brandedgilt the Sweltering Diamond, is still living. She possesses 71 kills.

Washey Monkinsight the Oaken Pages is also still alive, as is the female hydra Emxa Snarlbloat the Youth of Braving that slew Alath. Alath died in the hydra's cave (Clearingscars the Sacrifice of Igniting), so it looks like he went out to challenge it by himself, after it attacked his daughter Tosid many years ago.

The first conflict between the dwarves and elves took place in 81; it was a battle called the Clash of Fangs, in which King Meng attacked a group of elves in the forest. There was a peace after this battle for several years. In 93, the elves suddenly decided to avenge themselves and began their implacable war with a 187 elf siege, fought off by 18 dwarves, with 10 dead dwarves and 63 dead elves as the result.

Other champions, previously lost:

Udil Boltwanes the Lacy Tenderness (b 86 d 105)
Daughter of Goden/Tosid. A fishery worker before the wars. Her head was smashed by the titan Washey but she survived. Two years later, she went to war against the elves, killing 46 of them, including the elven champion Imaza Waspspeak the Direction of Papers, a legendary sniper who had herself slain two human champions, and whose mouth was mangled due to an old wound inflicted by a third human champion. In 103 she left the fortress to wander for a short while, defeating a cyclops but failing to kill him. The next year, an elven attack forced her to return to Circletower,  where she was shot and killed by Atera Echohoof the Girders of Depth. Logem later personally avenged his sister's death two years later.

Incidentally, Udil's first kill was an elf named Lionsplatter.

Rovod Channelgild the Rough Orb of Cloistering (b 87 d 138)
Son of Goden/Tosid, originally a ranger, later became a guard. Like his sister Udil many of his 88 kills appear to have been via crossbow. Near the end of his life, he joined Tholtig in a series of attacks on a forest retreat that initially went in the dwarves' favor; however, Rovod fell in the last battle of that conflict, and his loss forced Tholtig to retreat.

[Caiburn]

So now we need a dwarven genealogy application that reads the legends?

Ow.

[AtomicPaperclip]

They all died of old age? This is an adamantine walker. The craftsmanship is of the highest quality. It is adorned with spikes of elf bone, elf leather, and raw aluminum.

[powell]

Hey, can you post the region folder? I mean, we should be able to go into legends in that couldnt we?

[scotch208]

Hey, can you post the region folder? I mean, we should be able to go into legends in that couldnt we?

Yea, if you could post that or a save an epic story could be written.

http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1716

The file is modded, incidentally. Doesn't affect Tholtig in the least though (except making the megabeasts ridiculously difficult to kill).

There is also another race that was modded in.

[Arkenstone]

This has inspired me to work on making a Microsoft Access template to help sort out all this data; I wish Toady would finish the XML dumper so it can actually work!

[darkflagrance]

Good luck on the above! I would help, but I lack access to Access and haven't used it in years, sadly.

[Arkenstone]

Yeah, my mom works in database management, (she was on the cutting edge... 20 years ago ) so I have some help doing this.  The only problem is that the XML dump seems to be missing a bunch of info; hence the reason why I'd like Toady to finish it.  My hope is that once that's done I can create a program for viewing legends that becomes the 'essential' tool in the field in the way Dwarf Therapist has become for some.

[Haspen]

Tholtig's name and title is very fitting.

Crypt: Circletower, as there everyone from her clan lay dead.

Brain: She was a leader.

Waning: The dwarves were 'waning'.

Diamonds: They were impervious to the enemy (elves), except the dreaded Time.

[Arkenstone]

Whatever happened to "diamonds are forever"?

[Tuxman]

The Legend of Tholtig Cryptbrain: An Epic of Bloodshed, Despair, and Glory: The Movie

Now this would be epic. A little sad ending perhaps, but that's how epics usually are. Or something. It would easily topple lotr. xD
