Iron is an important resource for a fortress, as an often-plentiful material that can be used to make just about anything necessary, from weapons to furniture to trade goods. Iron is also a necessary ingredient in the production of steel, the best non-spoiler metal in the game for weapons and armor.
The three ores of iron can only be found in sedimentary layers, with the exception of hematite, which can occasionally be found in igneous extrusive layers.
