Lore:Scoria
Scoria is a type of volcanic rock formed when lava cools upon exposure to air. Though not typically favored for crafting, it holds great interest among skilled alchemists and scholars.[1]
Vulk'esh Scoria, a special kind of scoria, is acquired from the shed outer crust of the Vulk'esh creatures, believed to possess magical properties. While not considered hazardous when separated from the Vulk'esh body, it was thought to potentially instigate dangerous alchemical reactions. It was considered a rare material coveted by wealthy artisans. Some alchemists in Summerset Isles believed it could be utilized in crafting potions and powders for fire protection.[1][2][3] It has a gentle warmth when touched, without being excessively hot.[4] The Firepot in the central High Isle was renowned for its high population of Vul'kesh, making it an excellent location to harvest this material.[5]
Notes[edit]
- The names of Valkyn Skoria, a notable Daedra in service to Mehrunes Dagon, as well Scorions, a type of Daedra, both bear a close resemblance to this material.[6][7]
