| Summary | 0006405: Impersonator's autobiography attributed to both identities in different sentences | ||||
| Description | Several artifact books (see below for an example) created during world generation are attributed to a seemingly random deity. This appears to be a mistake in how the books are displayed in legends mode, since the event for the book being written is attributed to the correct figure. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | unknown, but here's my save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8290 I've seen this happen before with non-modded DF as well. | ||||
| Additional Information | Filthy Fealties Obtan Sandallone was a legendary lapis lazuli glazed-bound book. The written portion consists of a 178 page autobiography entitled Filthy Fealties Obtan Sandallone, authored by Sesta the Stockades of Disemboweling. It concerns the deep crow Obtan Sandallone. The writing is completely serious. In the early winter of 10, Filthy Fealties Obtan Sandallone was created in Cookscraped by the deep crow Obtan Sandallone. | ||||

This is probably working as intended for Legends mode, but I'll leave it open for now. If you check the creature writing the book, you should see that it is pretending to be the god in question. |

"In the early spring of 1, Obtan fooled The Straying Confederacy into believing she was Sesta the Stockades of Disembowling." Clearly, she wrote the book while impersonating a goddess, so the goddess was attributed as the author of the book. The only problem is that it's still described as an autobiography, which makes this something of a corner case - either a demon impersonating a deity should write an "autobiography" of the deity itself, it should use its real name for the book's author rather than its assumed name, or the book should just be described as a "biography". |
