Editing Dwarf Fortress (section)

===Dorfs===
[[Dwarves|Dorfs]] (singular: [[Dwarf|Dorf]]) are awesome short beardy alcoholic manic-depressive guys that like to dig. They enjoy mining, drinking, money, and bashing goblin heads in. Shocking, I know.

Image:DF_Badass_1.png|Sometimes a proficient macedwarf is able to handle a Bronze Colossus single-handedly. Bronze Colossuses are actually ~7 times taller than dwarves and do not bleed. (That's probably actually a giant, but still impressive...)
Image:DF_Badass_2.jpg|Female dwarfs are the manliest females known to exist.
Image:Ironbeard dwarfbreath.JPG|Dwarfs will use surrounding items as improvised weapons, and become the last thing most fortress invaders ever see. Especially if the flood gate was [[The floor is lava|in use at the time.]]

====Nobles====
Nobles are the bane of the land. If a dwarven fortress gets big and wealthy enough, they will soon be infested with an unending stream of these pompous freeloaders. They require ridiculously luxurious apartments and develop the [[Slaanesh|weirdest fetishes possible]], then require you to make items out of materials neither you nor merchants can provide, such as [[LOLWUT|demanding you build glass windows in the middle of a freezing tundra]]. Should you fail to fulfill these desires, they will happily imprison or execute your most skilled workers. 

Because of these antisocial tendencies, [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Unfortunate_accident Killing nobles] in the most spectacular way possible is one of the most common forms of entertainment in Dwarf Fortress.

====Artifacts====
Dwarves get so-called "Strange Moods" once in a while. When in this state, they will claim a workshop for the job they are most proficient in, get some (often obscure) materials and start working on them. Artifacts can be quite literally any craftable item type in the game (including several that normally can't even be crafted by dwarves); examples include millstones, gates, boots, backpacks, and, of course, weapons and armor.  Once completed, you can 'view' your artifact; If you choose to do so, a page describing the attributes of the artifact and its name will appear. For example:

''"Trailmachines the Fellowship of Right"''

This is a adamantine plate mail. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.
On the item is an image of Landslantern the fire imp and Kib Clinchworks the dwarf in Adamantine. Kib Clinchworks is striking down Landslantern. The artwork relates to the killing of the fire imp Landslantern by the dwarf Kib Clinchworks in Headshoots in the early autumn of 107.
On the item is an image of a dwarf in Adamantine. The dwarf is cheering.

The name of the artifact's creator and the date it was created will also appear.

If a dwarf does not get the materials he needs in time, he goes mad. Sometimes he will kill another dwarf and make the artifact out of the resulting corpse. If he does, he will create some hilariously described items.

====Fire Cults====
Dwarves have strong affection to fire, magma and generally anything that burns. The hotter it is, the better.

The only rational reason behind it can be some suicide [[Salamanders|fire worshiping sect.]]

Image:Boatmurdered_flame.jpg|Dwarfs don't know that fire burns, so they pick up burning items and bring them to the stockpiles.
