An unusual volcanic wall is a pillar-like formation consisting primarily of obsidian and various high-value gems. These formations are commonly found in the magma sea and the deepest parts of the caverns, although some extending upwards into the sky for thousands of z-levels have been reported.

Upon discovery, the player will get an announcement that they have discovered an "unusual volcanic wall studded with gems"

Digging into the pillar will reveal various pockets which will contain water, magma, fire that will extend outward when revealed, divine artifacts, and other fun things.

Upon becoming the Mountainhome and meeting all of the monarch's room requirements, an announcement will prompt the player to acquire "seven symbols not of this world" as well as a "true throne" made from any divine metal. These symbols refer to the various divine metal artifacts that can be found throughout the wall. Once the symbols are assigned and the throne is constructed in the monarch's throne room, the fortress will be elevated from Capital to Mountainhome.
