The one who holds the power and the only technology that can create those energy cells is a tyrannical king who resides inside the citadel above the cave mouth with a giant guard protecting him, every day the people below have to continuously exploit their own world and burn the coal to generate electricity that is supplied upward through a pipe, in exchange for the life-sustaining energy cells. However, due to the lack of supplies and the king’s cruelty to the deaths of his people below due to energy depletion, they rose up and overthrew their tyrannical king.
