Dragonscale

Brief

Dragonscale is a generalized term meaning any 'skin' of a dragon. Scales and Fur, for example. Dragonscale and its counterparts are black market materials poached from various Dragons in Isidoro. The means to get this material is 90% done by the Knights of Valor, and they are the most well known name for dragon material acquisition.
Depending on the dragon used, the characteristics differ. The chart below displays what kind of materials come from which dragon. Main properties that beings look for in a Dragonscale material is resistance to its elemental counterpart, sturdiness of the material, and finish.

Distribution

Trade & Market

Black Market Goods

Dragonscale used to be a material reserved for Knights and Royalty in the time of Dragon Slaying, and was a status symbol. When it was discovered that dragons were not brainless beasts, the act of slaying a dragon and using its body as various types of trophies were outlawed.
It has been rumoured that Port Lautaganan carries some of the KoV's products, but vendors have not been caught yet, and always seem to be a step ahead of law enforcement.

Origins

The Dragonscale got its name from originally from harvesting and gathering of scattered scales from earth dragons, but began to branch out into assets from the eight elemental dragon species that live in Isidoro. However unless the material is sold with the proper paperwork to show it's given willingly. Without a contract to ensure the proper channels have been gone through, the material is considered illicit and illegal.
The amount of scale and material needed to create clothing and other accessories is so vast, that if one owns a dragonscale item, it is either taken years to make legally or likely made from dragons who lost their life.
