Coal is a combustible black sedimentary rock formed of mostly carbon, related to the gemstone jet. It is primarily used as a fuel, though its usage was limited prior to the Industrial Revolution.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
During the Italian Renaissance, Assassins Francesco Vecellio, Tessa Varzi and Cipriano Enu successfully led the defense of Massa Marittima and its mine against the mercenary forces of Templar Cesare Borgia. The grateful townsfolk rewarded the Assassins with ore and coal, and negotiations began for a long-term supply deal.[2] The Italian Assassins would use them as ingredients in manufacturing pyrite.[3]
In early 16th century Constantinople, coal dust was used in the manufacture of thunder bombs, a small but incredibly powerful explosive used not only by the Ottoman Assassins[4] but also by the Ottoman soldiers and Byzantine Templars.[5]
