"The common knowledge of life and death" just isn't as gripping. Dwarves have a busy schedule of drinking, socializing, and beating invaders to death with their bare hands, so a catchy title is a must to capitalize on their limited reading time.
In the world I generated earlier today in preparation for my next fortress, there is a scroll titled "Spoon". It's described as being a poem about nothing in particular that isn't awful but not very good either.
I had one of those slabs delivered to me by an angry giant. She was using it as a weapon and had 3 other artifacts with her as well. It’s clear she only knew the secret of death however because she was put down by our speardwarfs pretty quickly. One of the other artifacts was a dwarfbone war hammer. Fantastic video as always and thanks!
weirdly enough this is just a more aggressive version of the library of alexandria. They would tax anyone passing through of their books, make copies, and then return them the copies and keep the original for the library
I love the beakdog with it's weird pink body, the boy just wants to read :( Great video as always, i look forward to it everytime, this seemed a fun project!
She may be stealing all the books but an Erin strolled in with the secrets of life and death carved on a slab that I’ve hidden in the walls of my fort SHE WILL NEVER FIND THEM
I never tried raiding a tower for fear of bringing its Fun inhabitants to my fort... And because the "not very good" essays my own dwarves were writing were already making my artifacts screen completely illegible. A kobold-owned tower is an amazing thought, also... I have to try a library fort now! Maybe a tower of my own design.
I always start my libraries with the books from abandoned monasteries. Almost all filler, but I was quite surprised when a necromancer's slab came from one a few forts ago. And since you mentioned tribute, can books be part of tribute? I used to always get recurring tribute from all nearby settlements 5 to 10 per season, but I don't remember ever getting anything named.
I highly recommend making an underground river and using it to flood excessive farming space, makes it easy to pump out pigtails and plump helmets in abundance
Can you really call it a secret of life and death if it is in a public library 🤔

@@shimp_ When you realize dorf literature lives off clickbait titles.
Necromancers writing books about the time they wrote books is like a Vtuber reacting to their reaction to their debut.
Become alexandria
why not take it a step further and become babel?
That's a lotta secrets of Life and Death. I sure wonder what the next episode's gonna be about :D
FUN! Life and Death = FUN.

- Whatcha up to?
- Just learning the secret of life and death, nbd.
A week later: Death! Death is all around me!
Dwarf comes running out of the Library: "Wait, I know how to fix that!"
Dont worry he just wants to dye

Beware the fearsome tower of...SNUGGLE BUSH.

Maybe you can get some of your dwarves to write about the creation of the library? Full circle.
Great work as always!
But really though, is your search ever complete until you've found a book about hoodies and hair?
I love dwarfans krafta "maggot" trully horrible story abot a human that wakes up as a giant maggot, a true critique of human civilization.

I think Tarn should sneak some kind of FUN in the secrets books. "I had so much fun writing this tome. Best days of my lich life."

I'm not sure I've never really messed around with tribute stuff
You got a necromancer *slab* from a raid? that's really cool. I once got one that was being carried by an Ettin.

I'm sorry, a KOBOLD TOWER?!?!?!?! I DIDN'T KNOW KOBOLDS COULD READ!!!
Absolutely love your dwarf fortress stories. Always happy when I see a new video!

snugglebushes sounds like a nice name for a fort lol
Your videos are always a treat. Your storytelling is great.

The dwarven British museum
You keep coming up with such cool challenges!
i just did this in my most recent fort and ended up with over 400 books after 20 years of raiding towers
Dude, love your vids. Keep it up.
