-'''Lead''' is a heavy, low-value [[metal]] available only from [[galena]] [[ore]].  Unlike in real life, lead is '''not''' a biological toxin.  Lead is not magma-safe or even fire-safe -  it will melt in a grass fire.
-== Uses ==
-Lead can be forged into [[furniture]] and other objects, like most metals, but its low value and high weight may make it a poor choice for personal objects or anything portable, respectively. However, lead items that are not [[weapon|weapons]] or [[armor]] are just as strong as those of any other metal - a lead [[chain]] or [[bridge]] is exactly as strong as a [[steel]] bridge, even against a [[dragon]] or a [[building destroyer]].
-Rare [[mood|moods]] might result in a lead weapon or lead armor - and material strength <u>is</u> considered in [[combat]], as well as weapon weight. Lead armor would not be a good result (it's so fragile it can literally be torn apart by a normal [[human|human's]] bare hands), but a lead mace could be very nice.
-Lead can also be used to make massive [[minecart]]s to send crashing into [[goblin]] [[invader]]s. What fun!
-If you have a surplus of it, lead can be semi-useful for decorating objects and training [[metal crafter]]s; lead crafts may be traded for a value of 100☼ or more, depending upon [[quality]].
-Lead can be [[alloy]]ed with [[copper]] and [[tin]] to produce [[lay pewter]].
-[[File:lead_ingots.jpg|thumb|230px|center|Lead ingots.]]
-In [[adventure mode]], lead items (or items made of other heavy material) tend to stay close to their original position upon [[reclaim]]. So if you want to find the item easily, make it out of lead, or place it in a lead [[bin]].
-{{D for Dwarf}}
-Since lead poisoning does not (yet) exist in ''Dwarf Fortress'', trading lead [[barrel]]s and [[craft]]s only weighs down the [[caravan]].  This, unfortunately, eliminates the possibility of lead poisoning the elves or humans through trade of lead-based crafts and lead-laced alcohol. However, if your dwarves happen to be irradiated as a result of an [[unfortunate accident]], lead coffins are a safe and practical way to ensure the remains are properly contained.
