Get this... Someone brought in a mineral I've never seen before. He claimed it was too hot to bring in any larger pieces, but I can't study this--it's practically powder.

My research has been pretty tedious lately, I'm hoping this will be something interesting.

Apparently these Scorching Rock Shards are found quite commonly around here. Could you bring me one, Player?

Player: Accept

Did it get hot in here, all of the sudden? Oh my... Wait, stop. Don't come any closer.

Wow, that thing really generates a lot of heat....

Let's have a look. Come closer, but--cautiously, please.

Player: "Scorching is certainly an appropriate name for it."

This is the mineral?

How were you able to even pick this thing up? I never imagined it would be this hot....

I'm guessing this is part of why the land is drying out so quickly. This heat feels so familiar...

Player: "What kind of mineral is it?"

Hold on... I don't believe it! This mineral contains the power of Fregion!

I doubt anyone knows Fregion's power exists here... I bet it's not even common knowledge among the Balaur.

This is big... I'd better inform our Balaur experts of this discovery.
