The room was full of crackling conversation and clearly had a greater fire mana and heat than it did before. It seemed that all the emotions through their deliberations had brought out a lot more of the fire mana than would normally be present.
There were also many more attendants bringing items in and out of the hall. Potentially items that could be traded or items that helped them all focus on what they were talking about. It could also be seen that some of these items were pieces of stored flame crawling coal. They were being handed to the coal people in the best clothing who would consume them before more embers appeared on their bodies.

For the coal people, fire was life and the flame crawling coal which was a unique material made from even more unique fire mana condensed and purified over time by natural forces, it was the core of their development.
