Summary0005276: "Ghostly" title is retroactive
DescriptionAfter several re-embarks in a terrifying biome, one of my dwarves became a ghost.

Looking in the legends screen, I see:
"In the early spring of 251, the ghostly dwarf 'Shields' Watchedlashes settled in Inkysky."

This precedes, in a second embark:
"In the early spring of 252, the ghostly dwarf 'Shields' Watchedlashes came back from the dead as a restless haunt in Inkysky."

Every title is retroactive. I've seen several messages in legends that refer to those randomly named troll style night creatures becoming rulers of civilizations, long before they were actually converted. This has happened both in the new version and DF2010.
