| − | + | Lead is a heavy, low-value [[metal]] available only from [[galena]] [[ore]]. | |

| − | + | It can be forged into [[furniture]] and "other objects", like most metals, but its low value and high weight make it poor choices for personal objects, or anything portable, respectively. Lead is 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 is not magma-safe, or even fire-safe, and will melt in a grass fire. | |

| − | 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. | + | Since lead poisoning does not (yet) exist in ''Dwarf Fortress'', trading lead [[barrel]]s and [[craft]]s only weighs down the [[caravan]].
