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

==Uses==
It can be forged into [[furniture]] and "other objects", like most metals, but its low value and high weight make it a poor choice 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.

Lead items (or items made of another heavy material) tend to stay close to their original position upon [[reclaim]] or arrival in adventure mode. So if you want to find the item easily, make it out of lead, or place it in a lead [[bin]].

Lead can also be used to make massive [[minecart]]s to send crashing into [[goblin]] [[invader]]s. What fun!

Lead is a component of the [[alloy]] [[lay pewter]].

{{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.

A '''guildhall''' is a place where dwarves of a particular profession socialize, share skills, and entertain with each other. Guildhalls are requested by your population after a profession has sufficient members (10 by default in d_init.txt) within your fortress. A guildhall requires 2000 (by default) and Grand Guildhall at 10000 zone wealth to be considered established. A [[guild]] with a guildhall was observed establishing connections with other guilds, but with an as of yet unknown effect. If a guildhall petition has been accepted but has not been built after one year, the agreement to establish a guildhall will be abandoned.

==Fortress mode==
Guildhalls are designated [[locations]] in fortress mode. You may designate them from any [[meeting area]]. Upon creation, the new guildhall will be given a random name, which may be based on the profession of the associated guild, for example "The Grove of Deer" for Rangers. You can rename it by pressing {{k|n}} in the locations screen.

Number 055: Guild and guildhall names will be chosen to reflect the profession of the guild.

'''Guilds''' are organizations established when sufficient members (10 by default in d_init.txt) of your [[fortress]] practice the same [[profession]], or professions in the same category. Shortly after establishment, the guild will petition for the construction of a [[guildhall]], where its members will socialize and hold [[skill]] demonstrations, slowly training them as if they were a [[military]] [[squad]] under training orders. The name of a guild and its associated guildhall will reflect the profession of the guild. For example "The Guild of Oiling", a Metalsmith guild with a guildhall named "The Cave of Copper". 

Guildhalls work similarly to [[barracks]] and [[tavern]]s, by providing skill training and some degree of socialization. A guildhall requires 2000 (by default) and Grand Guildhall at 10000 zone wealth to be considered established. A guild with a guildhall was observed establishing connections with other guilds, but with an as of yet unknown effect. If a guildhall petition has been accepted but has not been built after one year, the agreement to establish a guildhall will be abandoned.

While a guild is not established, it can still hold public skill demonstrations for idlers.

Typically, a guild for a general profession category, such as fisherdwarves, farmers, or metalsmiths will be founded first, though if enough dwarves of a specific profession such as [[furnace operator]] or [[weaponsmith]] are in a fortress, a guild for that specific profession will be founded as well as the more general guild. Dwarves with a profession with its own guild and one for the more general category will be members of both guilds.

The following guilds have been observed to exist:

(This is not currently a comprehensive list. Presumably, there are guilds for all professions in the game, but this requires clarification.)

* [[Animal caretaker]] guild
* [[Craftsdwarf]] guild
* [[Farmer]] guild
* [[Herbalist]] guild

* [[Ranger]] guild
* [[Furnace operator]] guild

If a particular profession has sufficient members (10 by default in d_init.txt) within your fortress, a guild may be established. Shortly after establishment, the guild will petition for the construction of a [[guildhall]]. Guildhalls work similarly to barracks and taverns, by providing skill training and some degree of socialization. Guildhall requires 2000 (by default) and Grand Guildhall at 10000 zone wealth to be considered established.

[[Image:Locations screen v0.44.03.png|right|480px]]
A '''location''' is either a [[library]], [[tavern]], or [[temple]]. They are viewed from the Locations and Occupations menu ({{key|l}}).

A location is designated by setting up a [[meeting area]] and then going into the 'Assign location' submenu from the zone selection ({{key|i}}, hover over zone, {{key|l}}). This allows you to set the type of location you want. Once a location is set, the locations menu will contain information on that particular location, such as the restrictions and the items contained. You can use this menu to restrict access from visitors or to retire the location. A location can have citizens with the appropriate occupation, which you set. You can also set the max number of items of a certain type. An occupation does not stop citizens from doing other jobs.

Some [[Room]]s can be assigned to locations to aid in the function of that location (for example, beds for taverns).

Locations that require a dance floor will measure the amount of space available from a continuous uninterrupted rectangle. It will not consider free space between built furniture such as instruments, chairs, and tables, no matter how much there is. It's therefore optimal to build furniture in the tavern and temple such that they are all along the edges of the room or arranged in a sort of block.

Designating a location exposed to outside tiles can be an effective way to prevent cave adaptation. It's not known if using the same area as a barracks would limit dance floor use. Doing this can be fun if there is evil rain or clouds around (bridges cannot be used because they would make a tile always inside, retracted or raised or not).

Creating a location seems to be important to claim a site in adventure mode.

Nowhere in the article does it mention what affects placing an item in the display case actually has, such as maybe producing a better thought or increasing the value of the room.

'''Amethyst men''' are an extremely rare type of anthropomorphic [[creature]] made of solid [[amethyst]], essentially [[gem]]stone golems, found only in the deepest [[cavern]]s. They are non-sentient, aggressive creatures that are not alive, [[No Pain|feel no pain]], feel no fear, [[No Stun|cannot be stunned]], do not need to breathe, have no thought center, and are type two [[building destroyer]]s. They are as large as [[human]]s.

Amethyst men are decent fighters and will almost certainly kill unarmed civilians, as normal punches and kicks will merely glance away from their rocky hides. However, an equipped [[military]] will make short work of them, with bladed weapons like [[short sword]]s and [[battle axe]]s being preferable over [[war hammer]]s; while a hammerdwarf can bash an amethyst man until its body is fractured and crushed, an axedwarf will be able to sever their limbs much faster. If feeling creative, amethyst men can also suffer from a long fall, a [[cave-in]], or [[magma]]. Upon death, they leave a rough [[amethyst]] [[gem]] usable by your [[jeweler]]s. They can't be spawned in the [[object testing arena]].

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] amethyst men for their ''rockiness''.

Amethyst men are known to be created in vast caverns stripped of all life, and may be found near [[garnet]], [[pearl]], and [[rose quartz]]. They wield amethyst-studded whips in battle.

Additionally, you can also view [[rumor|news and rumors]] using the 'News and rumors' sub-menu (seen by pressing {{k|n}}).

From this menu, you're also able to send [[squad]]s out on [[mission]]s, and keep track of or modify missions that you've already created.

The Civilization/World Info menu has six main submenus; {{k|w}}orld, {{k|m}}issions, {{k|n}}ews and rumors, {{k|p}}eople, {{k|a}}rtifacts and {{k|c}}ivilisations.

===World===
