"The Glorious Elf King" by Fault

Cacame Awemedinade the Immortal Onslaught is rumored to be the world's most bada$$ elf.

In one particular slice of the Dwarf Fortress multiverse (generated by Holy Mittens), Cacame ascended to the rank of Elf King of the Dwarves. The story of his rise to glory has been chronicled in an epic 40+ page thread on the Bay 12 Games forum that includes original artwork, economic discussions, raw edits, Chuck Norris jokes, Battletech references, a Cacame-themed megaproject, and great amounts of win.

Brief history

Cacame's early history (by Fault)

The dwarven civilization and Cacame's former Elven civilization were at war for many years, with the dwarves basically kicking the crap out of the elves for decades. In 90, the dwarves conquered his home city and placed a new dwarven governor in charge. Cacame was 7 at the time, and 5 years later, at the ripe old age of 12, he became a Guard.

RIIIIDE CACAME RIIIIIDE! by Vester

Two years later, an elven attack injured his lower body and killed his wife Nemo (who was then eaten by the other elf). Two years after that, in 99, the dwarven king was killed in battle and somehow, Cacame became the leader of the civilization at the age of 16. It can only be assumed that his hatred of his other elves at eating his wife was so great that it impressed even the dwarves.

Later, Cacame would go on to defeat a dragon with nothing more than Competent Hammer skill.

Colossus of Cacame

Holy Mittens created a megaproject in Cacame's honor:

His cape is made of solid gold. It took 949 bars of gold to forge. The vast majority of that gold was home-smelted. The head of his hammer is made of mithril with an iron band around it, spike at the top, and handle. That's 132 bars of mithril and 37 bars of iron.

His armor and helmet are made of obsidian. I'm not even going to attempt to calculate or count how many stones it took. It was a lot of them. The horns on his helmet are cinnabar. His flesh is forged of platinum. 33 bars in total. His eyes are clear glass blocks. Behind his eyes are pools of magma that were pumped from the pipe a fair distance away. Sadly, Visual Fortress doesn't display this as two huge glowing orbs of elf-hating malice.

Goblin reaction (by Neruz)

Watercolor by Fault

Goblin1: Man, I heard about these Dwarves. They have an Elf, for their King!
Goblin2: You sh*tting me?
Goblin1: I am totally serious, this Elf is so bada$$ the Dwarves accept him as their King!
Goblin2: Fsck that, lets go raid the Orcs.
Goblin1: Probably be safer.

Add him to your game!

Engraving and decorations

Shima: Add this to descriptor_shape_standard.txt in the raws, and he will show up in other worlds. He might also appear in the likes of Dwarves, possibly ... will appear in engravings and decorations for all races, that much I can tell you for sure. There may be some odd syntax "Engraving of a ale-chugging Elf King etcetc" and such, but that's the nature. Rarely, in a Dwarf's likes, it might show "Elf King Cacame Lastnamey" as a like as well.
