When a dwarf claims a workshop for his very own, you have a 50/50 chance of the artifact he's about to make being really awesome. He could make an artifact [[throne]] out of three lumps of [[bituminous coal]], and it will be worth a whopping 4800 [[currency|dwarf bucks]].

If you use mass-forbid take good care to allow everything after the artifact is finished! |
