Fire-Spheres

Fire-spheres are a type of incendiary weapon used by the dwarves in Book 5. They are composed of large balls of compressed grass that were drenched in animal fat and then rolled in tar. The center of the ball contained a glass orb of flammable liquid which would explode on impact. They are placed in a catapult and flung towards attackers, usually from the fortress or castle walls.
