Riarshulate

(Legacy Content)

Riarshulate is a deep red liquid found deep beneath mountain ranges in small pockets and is the second of the three partner materials in its pairing, alongside Bareshulate and Hiroshulate. Being a partner material, Riarshulate is almost useless on its own, yet its worth when combined with its counterparts Bareshulate and Hiroshulate - with a small amount of Iron as a base - to create Titanoshulate alloys far outweigh the useless nature of the liquid on its own.

Properties

Material Characteristics

Riarshulate is a crimson red molten liquid found most commonly under mountain ranges. It has few uses on its own, though its value as a component in Titanoshulate is known to many appraisers.

Physical & Chemical Properties

Riarshulate is a molten liquid, and as such causes severe burns on anything that enters it, though the material itself does not stick to whatever is inserted into it. Its seeming lack of produced heat, however, makes the material next to useless in anything other than the production of Titanoshulate.

Compounds

The most well known compounds that require Riarshulate are Titanoshulate alloys, as Riarshulate is widely renowned for its uselessness in anything but such measures.

Geology & Geography

Riarshulate is found under nearly all mountain ranges, though not typically found in conjunction with its counterparts Bareshulate and Hiroshulate.

Origin & Source

Riarshulate pockets are the only method of finding usable material.

History & Usage

History

The usefulness of Riarshulate - and by proxy the usage of its partner materials - did not become apparent until the mid Alorean First Era, during the golden age, whereby an unbound mixture of the three materials came into contact with an iron rod, fusing to it, and transforming it into Titanoshulate. From there, it was then experimented with and eventually created some of the most ludicrously durable items in existence.

Discovery

Riarshulate was originally uncovered by the efforts of Aloreans during the Dark Age, the information of which coming with them to the surface during the Reclamation.

Everyday use

Riarshulate is only used in the creation of Titanoshulate. It has been experimented with to discover additional uses, though nothing conclusive has come from such efforts.

Industrial Use

Riarshulate is found in its most useful state. Quantities of it are stored until an equal supply of both Bareshulate and Hiroshulate and a supply of Iron arrives to then begin the creation process of Titanoshulate.

Refinement

Riarshulate has no refinement process, as it is found in its most useful form with next to no impurities.

Manufacturing & Products

The only item that can be produced from this material is Titanoshulate.

Byproducts & Sideproducts

As there is no refinement process, Riarshulate produces no byproducts.

Hazards

Riarshulate is known to burn or melt any biological material that touches it, though its apparent non-adhesive properties mean that otherwise life-threatening injuries can be avoided by removal of submersed body parts before complete deterioration.

Environmental Impact

Riarshulate spills have cause a few notable environmental effects, namely beginning fires as it comes into contact with flammable material, though containment measures can prevent this if adequately sealed.

Reusability & Recycling

This material has no use outside of the production of Titanoshulate, which makes it useless to anyone without the means of creating such material.

Distribution

Trade & Market

Being rarer than its counterpart Bareshulate, Riarshulate can be sold and traded at much higher prices, though given its nature as a component of Titanoshulate, the material is more often held by such mining firms in cases where its other two partner materials can be found.

Storage

Riarshulate is stored in liquid containers capable of handling molten materials, such as metal tanks and the like.
