All of the stated events have occurred. The 'talks' with various people are a RP adornment, though. I really did lose a child to a fey mood because we didn't have any damned shells. :( Baron really died of melancholy, Kib got greased somehow on the far side of the map, and Eshtan really did end up with broken limbs (yes, it's that detailed... it's insane). The tax collector really does make random demands and/or ban imports/exports of various materials. So do all of the rest of the nobles, for that matter.
Morulrulush was one of my first fortresses and the disastrous end was absolutely epic. I had a baby go into an enraged psychosis. He beat the Mayor to death with his chubby little hands, and then made an axe from the poor man's bones. Said baby then slaughtered a full third of the populace before I could get some military dwarves in, and he killed half of them before being killed. Then his mother (my strongest and best trained swordsdwarf) went bananas about her baby being killed and things went to hell in a bucket.
