=Miasma And You=
Your fortress is covered in dead bodies and everyone's throwing up and dying from it. What is it? Why is everyone dying? How can I stop this?

'''Miasma''' is a result of dead bodies and blood being left to rot in the hallways. It'll cause '''vomiting''', '''sickness''', and possibly '''death''' if your fortress isn't cleaned up.

There're two ways to clean up the blood.

1. Burn a Towercap Log in the Smelter and combine the resulting ashes with Water from a puddle in the fortress. This will produce '''Soap''' you can use to clean.

2. Produce a '''Broom''' with some wooden planks, and wet the broom with the puddle in order to use it.

Bodies are more difficult to deal with.

1. Creating a "dumping ground" a long distance from the fort, and moving all bodies there will prevent the miasma from reaching your fortress.

2. Destruction of the bodies, such as by gibbing, will prevent them from creating miasma.

3. Revival of the corpses will cause them to cease to rot.
