Coal is an energy source of growing importance in the Land of Mists particularly with the invention of the steam engine. Coal has a high has a higher chemical energy content than wood. It is mined in Nosos.
Machines in the Land of Mists have long functioned via kinetic energy supplied by their users, slaves, domesticated animals, or even the undead. Kinetic energy supplied by wind or water is the rule in mills, although its supply by the undead is not unknown. Steam engines can make use of the chemical energy of wood but operate far more efficiently exploiting the greater chemical energy contained in coal. Blast furnances would be imposible without the greater energy content of coal.
