Charcoal the common fuel in Gorean cities

Carriers of Wood, or Woodsmen, that Gorean caste which, with the Caste of

Charcoal burned in braziers for heat I missed Torm and wondered if I would ever see him again,
bounding about excoriating the authors of dusty scrolls,
knocking the inkwell from his desk with an imperial sweep of
his blue robe, leaping on the table in birdlike fury
denouncing one scribe or another for independently
rediscovering an idea that had already appeared in a century-
old manuscript known to Torm of course but not to the
luckless scribe in question, rubbing his nose, shivering,
leaping down to thrust his feet against the everpresent
overloaded charcoal brazier that invariably burned under his
table, amid the litter of his scraps and parchments,
regardless of whatever the outside temperature might be.
