Red Cavx Ore

Red Cavx ore is an exotic material mined in the caverns to the southwest of Asayahbat. While there are other locations throughout Qur-Dolakh that the mineral is harvested, over 90% of the supply originates from these caverns. As such, it is an integral part of the trade, export, and financial income of the region. Especially for the Ta-jubal Family, who are the local oligarchs who oversee the region. The near monopolized holding on this ore has drastically bolstered the financial coffers of the Ta-Jubal family, as well as the local economy.
The Properties and Uses

• The Ore has seen widespread use in the construction of metallic weaponry. Not only does it dye the metal a unique and appealing color, but it seems to reinforce the metal during the smelting process in order to grant it more malleable properties when forging, and more hardy properties when cooled. This process is quite costly, but has been used locally by The Cavx Pulwars, and their smiths, as well as in other regions of Vinramar for the wealthiest of armies.
• When refined with the proper methods, Red Cavx has shown beneficial uses in the new age steamworks and electrical wonders of regions like Trentsmund. Though the exact use is misunderstood to most of the locals of Goltaraim as the technology is primarily foreign to them, they have no qualms about the income provided by its export. 

Red Cavx is expensive, around 2,500 mark per pound. However, when used by a skilled craftsman it confers the following benefits on crafting and enchanting:

• Red Cavx counts as a Legendary Tool when attempting to craft Masterwork items, reducing the DC of success by 5.
• Red Cavx is particularly susceptible to magical enchantment, lowering the essence cost by 25% when trying to enchant an item crafted with Cavx infusion.
• It is also capable of being used in very small amounts in decorative, or magical tattoos.
