Titan Scrap

The titans that arrived, causing or caused by the Shattering, seemed near-immortal. Enormous beyond reason, more powerful and impenetrable than a walking mountain or an erupting volcano, they could not be deterred by any kinvar. The only thing that could threaten, let alone damage, a titan was another titan.
But there were many titans, and they did not seem to enjoy each other's company.
So, over time, titans were wounded. They healed rapidly and strangely, but then they shed scar tissue and scabs. Some lost pieces of limbs. Some titans even, eventually, died.
Their existence spelled cataclysmic destruction for the entire continent of Harokin, and the few kinvari still struggling to survive in their shadow did what kinvari do: they were curious. They crept up to the scraps of alien flesh. They tried to study it.
Each titan was radically different from the others. Some of their "flesh" was a bubbling ichor like a boiling tar pit; other "flesh" was a stony callous harder than any carapace or shell. But, in time, kinvari learned how to make use of them. The scent of that ichor could attract some titans and deter others; the keratin could be used as an unbreakable shelter against anything smaller than another titan.
None of it was edible. Urkvari tried more than the other kinvari, but even their vigorous bodies could not make use of titan flesh, even when it actually resembled flesh. But the tissue, with its dense muscle-fiber thatching, could be dried and cut into tarps, roofs, tents, blankets. Skin-like material thicker than a kinvar was tall could be shaved off and tanned to make puncture-resistant clothing.
Kinvari ingenuity is unlimited. Over time, they distilled titan ichor and blood into poisons and poultices, paints and perfumes. They used titan chitin to make armor plating, tools, and weapons; they shaped it to create durable shelters and building materials. They used titan scraps to make rope, needles, clothes, shields, containers, and carriages. Anything they could reach, they could repurpose for their post-apocalyptic underground lives.
