− | '' | + | A '''glowing pit''' is a small impassable [[chasm]] found in the center of [[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 surrounded by mysterious rooms, and are dangerous enough to lead to the destruction of even a well-prepared fortress. |

'''These are a warning.''' If you do not take drastic measures such as immediately rewalling the chamber to seal it, the glowing pits will unleash a horde of demons upon your fortress. The bottom chamber itself is home to a single [[Demon]] leader, though he is not alone... |
Above this chamber will be 2-3 additional rooms, varying depending on what type of demons happen to inhabit it. Muddy chambers filled with vermin and surrounded by pools of water are inhabited by [[frog demon]]s, while filthy chambers decorated with depraved engravings and filled with additional humanoids are the lairs of [[tentacle demon]]s. Those unlucky enough to discover plain chambers filled with [[charcoal]] and [[ash]]es and surrounded by pools of magma will soon be confronted by the dreaded [[spirit of fire|spirits of fire]]. Each upper chamber is home to 10 demon minions, and all upper chambers will be of the same type. | Above this chamber will be 2-3 additional rooms, varying depending on what type of demons happen to inhabit it.
