The Salt Flats [N, S, E, W]
  This a vast expanse of salt as far as the eye can see. Purplishs glints come from the
white terrain, awaiting your twinky foraging. There is no one at all who is going to raid
you.

<76H 108V 70ST> forage
You begin searching the area intently.

You look around, but you don't find anything.

The blue dwarf has arrived from the west, riding a war beetle.
The red dwarf has arrived from the west, riding a war beetle.
The black dwarf has arrived from the west, riding a war beetle.
The grey dwarf has arrived from the west, riding a war beetle.

The black dwarf begins guarding the southern exit.
The red dwarf begins guarding the western exit.
The grey dwarf begins guarding the northern exit.
The blue dwarf begins guarding the eastern exit.

The black dwarf says in, in sirihish:
    "hi"
The grey dwarf laughs.
With spittle flying out as he angrily barks, the red dwarf says in, in sirihish:
    "Yer coins an' yer salt, or your life!"
The blue dwarf says in, in sirihish:
    "drop pack"

You need to finish reading that passage - likely, if someone's using flint and something to strike a fire, they're using a piece of rock with pyrite deposit, which wouldn't necessarily be uncommon. Without having to get into why this isn't mass-mined for conversion into iron (and sulfuric acid), it's safer to just assume that the crystals are extremely small - such that it merely blends into the grain of the bearing rock, which can be many different types but likely granite, quartz(ites) and metamorphic rocks that don't have names in Zalanthas (some staff know which rock in particular I'm glaring at right now) - and humans just don't know it's a metal but that if they strike flint against it, it sparks.

Trying to strike flint and obsidian would likely just result in breaking part of the obsidian and possibly sending a shard into someone's eye. Yes, I will laugh.

Honestly, in cities, it's probably more common to light torches and things from existing flames, but does it really matter? Does anyone really want to have to go through being stuck in the dark some place, never able to light a torch? This is one of those suspension of disbelief things.

As to obsidian itself, the really nice kind most people think of is likely to only comprise a minority of the obsidian used for things in-game. The vast majority is probably just vitrified basalt/granite, which while not as pretty is still glass, and is just as sharp and pointy when you break it. It also hurts like a son of a bitch with you drop a big piece on your foot - verified personally.

In comparison, the "glass" deposits we see in-game are likely vitrified sand (desert glass) caused by dry lightning from sandstorms.
