Summary

0008694: Engraved images show events unknown to engraver

Description

My dwarves have managed to make an engraving of event that they should not know about.

My mayors bedroom now has a floor tile with an image of a serpent woman being killed by a crundle. Legends say it really happened "in Diamondpath", my fortress. But I do not have that serpent woman in "Missing/Dead" and have not noted that event when it happened. So it probably was located in some caves under me.

I have found 3 such kills in Legends so with more engraved tiles I may be able to get some more of these (no more so unknown) events.

Steps To Reproduce

Run a fort for few years, periodically checking Legends
Once something interesting happens under your fort, order multiple tiles to be engraved
Some of them should show events from down below which you would otherwise not know about (without checking Legends)

Additional Information
