Of The Balefire:

If you wish to build a fire for an outdoor ritual, it can be composed of all or 
any combination of the following woods:

Rowan              Dogwood
Mesquite           Poplar
Oak                Juniper
Pine               Cedar
Apple

If these are unavailable, use native woods. Rites run on the seashore can be 
illuminated   with balefires of dried driftwood collected prior to the rite.
