This page is about the mountain feature. You may be looking for the pit/pond designation for activity zones, or for bottomless pits, a form of chasm.

This article contains massive spoilers. If you do not wish to have your game experience spoiled, do not scroll down! |
A glowing pit is a small impassable chasm found in the center of adamantine deposits deep in the earth. There is one glowing pit per mountain region, and can be located by searching for 'other features' in the site finder. They are surrounded by mysterious rooms, and are dangerous enough to lead to the destruction of even a well-prepared fortress.
If you dig deep enough in the right place, perhaps following that vein of glorious adamantine, you might break into a peculiar chamber with strange glowing pits at the bottom.
Because pre-existing architecture shows up as an asset of your outpost, you can check the z status screen as soon as you strike the earth; demon pits will typically show up as 4000☼ of total wealth.
In the bottom chamber, there will be chained and caged humanoids, body parts, upright spears and pikes, bones and skulls, and horrifying engravings in this room. These are a warning. If you do not take drastic measures such as immediately rewalling the chamber to seal it, the glowing pits will unleash a horde of demons upon your fortress. The bottom chamber itself is home to a single Demon leader, though he is not alone...
Above this chamber will be 2-3 additional rooms, varying depending on what type of demons happen to inhabit it. Muddy chambers filled with vermin and surrounded by pools of water are inhabited by frog demons, while filthy chambers decorated with depraved engravings and filled with additional humanoids are the lairs of tentacle demons. Those unlucky enough to discover plain chambers filled with charcoal and ashes and surrounded by pools of magma will soon be confronted by the dreaded spirits of fire. Each upper chamber is home to 10 demon minions, and all upper chambers will be of the same type.
The lower pits contain a very small amount of magma, usually only enough for a handful of smelters or forges, but sometimes enough small deposits for a good-sized industry.
Of course, you'll have to deal with the demons first...
