History WMG / DwarfFortress

[[WMG: Elves are [[Franchise/TheElderScrolls Bosmer]] ]]
They're primitive, practice canibalism, [[TheBeastmaster can control animals]] and are horrified by the very thought of harming a plant (in TES it only applies to Bosmer native to Valenwood, but who cares)

When Toady announced that magic will be implemented, he stated that it will be based on whatever story has been generated, citing the works of Brandon Sanderson for example as his inspiration. Coupled with his analysis of the Threetoe stories on the Bay12 forums on how the concepts could be implemented in Dwarf Fortress, it's a reasonable assumption that players will be able to mess with the world through the magic system. Is an item responsible for all the fire magic in the world? Just steal it and either keep it for yourself to become the most powerful pyromancer in the world or destroy it to deny this element from everyone else! Does a god control death magic? Kill him and take his place to hold dominion over the souls of your enemies! Players will basically be able to bend the world to their knees by becoming GenreSavvy adventurers who would pore through every mythology to further their quest for power!

*** The bears are [[BearsAreBadNews exactly hardcore enough]]. We're just lucky the elves nerfed the coelocanth before reintroducing them. Who knows what could have happened if we'd had classic!coelocanth crawling across Asia and Africa, leaping onto the decks of boats and gnawing the crews to death, maybe even making it as far as... ohdear[[OhMyGods elves]]... [[OhCrap Our shielding systems would do nothing to stop the classic!coelocanth from]] [[ILoveNuclearPower breaking into our nuclear power plant cores]]!

Machines made [[Film/TheMatrix Matrix]] too real, it starts to loop back to itself creating a new Matrix, called Dwarf Fortress this time. Once DF is fully completed, it will keep going until '''it''' creates a new Matrix, resulting in [[GroundhogDayLoop endless loop]] [[RealityBreakingParadox that will cause]] EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt

No computer on the planet should be able to handle that much detail. Instead, it hypnotizes the players, making them believe that they are seeing reality in it's entirety represented by ascii characters. The level of the perception filter actually allows members of the [=Bay12=] community to experience a shared hallucination.

* They can't identify if it's elf. They probably think the dwarves have a similar tradition of eating their enemies alive, so they just assume it's a trophy. If they did figure it out, they would be about as horrified as cutting down trees.

He plans on using the players to torture the souls in hell

Unfortunately, because the elven mass-production process is so shoddy and failure-prone in the first place (it's the lack of [[MagicTool beards]], I tell you), elven artifacts barely count as normal items. Because these strange moods happen so frequently, they form the base of the elven economy, supplemented by catching exotic animals in those strange elven forest retreats with their "artifact" cages.

It fits with elves' magical nature in, well, pretty much every other fantasy setting ever.
