By Mendan Flot, Regent of Roiling Concoctions What a remarkable substance the Scaled Court has discovered! Or perhaps I should say, "rediscovered." For it is true that the ancient Nedes made use of this primordial element in ages past. They even appear to have known about its unique properties, including its ability to absorb and distribute Aetherial energy. But I feel confident in my claims that even the Nedes never achieved the variety of uses we have discovered for the element we call "Nirncrux."
