Microcline
N.
1.Microcline (KAlSi3O8) is a igneous rock-forming tectosilicate mineral.
2. The absolute most rockl in all of dwarfdom. When found, it is immediately dumped and atom smashed, else Armok punishes them by slowing down time until it eventually freezes. It pretends to be a better mineral such as adamantine and the !!FUN!! ice, but just causes everyone to rage since it's not even magma safe.

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.

The mentioning of microline is usually the sign of impending stone puns.
This worries me.

Furnace
n.
1. A heavy duty oven, used for heating substances to high temperatures for various applications.
2. A friendly fire demon, summoned into existence and trapped in a sealed casing by a dwarven construction ritual. For an offering of fuel, or a well to the heat of liquid rock, this enigmatic denizen will heat any substance to desired temperatures without creating smoke or heating the surroundings. Making smelting iron ore in furnaces made from iron blocks a feasible possibility.
