− | '' | + | A '''glowing pit''' is a small impassable [[chasm]], usually found near or within [[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 sometimes surrounded by mysterious rooms. These are very dangerous regions that can cause the destruction of even a well prepared fortress. |

'''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. Upwards of 30+ demons can spawn from a single pit. 30 [[Spirit of fire]] demons tend to do very bad things to any fort. | |
− | + | 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. | |
