[QUOTE="The Cardinal, post: 2807672, member: 634"] One of the few good - or a least profitable - things about Cambria are the large deposits of a strange kind of coal in the northern parts of Cambria. This so-called gemcoal is a semi-opaque black material, which looks a bit like half-molten smoked glass. Depending on hardness and purity gemcoal has a market value between 5 cp and 5 sp per pound. A single 1 lb. piece of hard gemcoal will shed a bright light when lit that will last for 24-36 hours. Soft gemcoal produces enormous amounts of heat when it burns, with almost no smoke to speak of, making it the perfect fuel to keep out the freezing winters of Cambria. And alchemists from the old nations will pay obscene amounts of money for a few pounds of high-quality gemcoal. So, all is well... ...or it would be, if gemcoal mines weren't such deep dangerous hellholes, that devour the man and children, who work their depths, like some ravenous beast - a beast that delivers gold and riches to its masters...
