Infernal Ceramic
Properties
Material Characteristics
These crimson ceramic plates are lighter than they appear.
Physical & Chemical Properties
These plates when fully cured the heat protection properties are unriviled. As well these plates are incredibly strong designed to take a beating.
Origin & Source
After experimenting and adding Lacrite, the gnomes tested many different ceramic mixtures until they came across the mixture of this miraculous material.
History & Usage
History
These plates have been used for millennia by the Volognomes.
Everyday use
The most common use is for shielding on the magma ships. Some well off nobels also have there homes covered in these plates in the great cities of Drakkar and King's Cove.
Industrial Use
Plates are made with a special Lacrite ceramic powder. Once mixed with water, a chemical reaction begins causing the powder to become a viscous liquid. They add thin layers of woven Basalt Fiber inside the form. The mixture is then poured into various molds for different uses. Once in the form, it would take anywhere from a few weeks for smaller, thinner pieces to cure. Larger pieces were known to take up to a year or more.
They use condensers attached to the forms to pull the moisture back out from the mixture allowing curing to happen in just a matter of days, even for the most enormous plates.

Reusability & Recycling
Damaged and old plates can be placed in a special crusher that turns it all back into a powder. If it is a newer plate the basalt is seperated out of the ceramic powder before the clay is recycled. Before the reinforcement of the basalt fibers damaged plates would shatter and generally be lost to the floor of the Rocking Sea.
Distribution
Trade & Market
The Volognomes manufacture these plates in Lockgear and then if not use in other fabrication there they are generally special ordered and shipped to the end user.
