Shod Shoveling Profession in Necromancer's Moon | World Anvil

Shod Shoveling

Overseen by the Karbonites, shod shovelers are an important people in Hachenberg. They stop the shod building up around the furnaces by dumping it into the Libben.
Shod shovelers are lined up beside the furnace outflow pipes and shovel, into the river, everything that's deposited from them. If they shovel too slowly, they outflow pipe gets blocked and the furnace could become overheated.
Sometimes furnace ghouls are deposited through the outflow pipes, but they're quickly dispatched by the Karbonite soldiers before they can do much more than attack the person shoveling that particular pipe.
