#REDIRECT [[Glowing pit]]
 
 
A '''glowing pit''' is an small impassable chasm, usually found near or within [[adamantine]] deposits deep in the earth. They are sometimes surrounded by mysterious rooms. These are very dangerous regions that can cause 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.

Usually, there will be chained and caged [[humanoid]]s, body parts, upright spears and pikes, ash and charcoal, and horrifying engravings in this room. '''These are a warning.''' If you do not take drastic measures such as rewalling the chamber to seal it, the glowing pits will unleash a horde of [[demon]]s upon your fortress.
 
 
 
The pits contain a very small amount of [[magma]], usually only enough for a handful of [[smelter]]s or [[forge]]s, but sometimes enough small deposits for a good-sized industry. This is fortunate, since magma is a requirement for adamantine refining.
 
 
 
Of course, you'll have to deal with the demons first...
