Extract the red brittle from the surrounding rock, making sure not to break the larger pieces. Heat the red brittle until the element glows like a burning ember. While the red brittle still glows hot, grind it beneath the millstone wheels or pound it beneath the steam hammers until it becomes a fine, crimson powder.. Collect the red brittle powder (the Scaled Court calls it nirncrux) into carts and distribute it evenly to Armorer Uthik, Runescriber Kulth, and Regent Boward of the Scaled Court. Blood for our enemies, steel for our tribe! —Exarch Braadoth
