0009376: Visitor arrived with Forgotten Beast parchment scroll
Perhaps worldgen people should be using slightly less rare/valuable materials for their diaries?

This could be intentional.

I had something similar happen, I took a look at my artifact list and there was an entry for a book I never made, well I don't think you can even make a book in a fey mood... It was "History of the dwarf" and the description said "it's prose is amateurish at best" and it was only worth 110 db, so obviously wasn't a true artifact.

It was sitting outside in the rain where I had a battle with goblins and was forbidden so either a goblin dropped it or the human visitor I had got killed in the battle and dropped it.

I saw a fb parchment scroll in legends.

I have seen this bug plenty of times in legends mode. There are also artifacts made using night creature parchment (moon monster, night troll, bleak man, etc.).

I've also seen some artifacts using scorpion devil, glacier titan, wereskunk, bogeyman, dwarf, roc, giant or wolverine man parchment. It's perfectly random, I guess.
