Balefyre Engine

High-scale combustion engine which acted as the main source of power in the late stages Golgari civilisation. These massive, power-producing furnaces were powered mainly with sulphuric coal but were capable of turning every carbon or sulphur-based material into fuel and were even used for cremation of the dead, as studies within the Atemporal Anomaly AA-47 clearly show. The construction of first Balefyre Engine can be traced back to the worsening climates of the northern hemisphere of Mizar 5, historically named "The Great Chill" ( see Great Chill, the) neary two decades before the final collapse of the Golgari. Recovered newsarticles withing the ruined city of Heimhallif written during that time are split if these creations are a blessing or a curse due to their high levels of local air pollution, but their base design will be continued for at least a century.
