UNIQUE
Dragon Scale:
Sturdier and lighter than mithril, it comes with the benefit of being one of the most heat shielding element available in the world. All of these advantages however come with the drawback that it is almost impossible to craft. It cannot be melted and while it can be shattered with sufficient forces, it will then become shards of limited use. Despite all of this, dragon scales are still researched items if only for the prestige they provide, larger ones often being used to give good protection to airships, even if they do leave a lot of chinks to be exploited. Smaller ones, while offering less protection, are even more researched to make body armor.
Vermillion Einzelunternehmen Bank Gold gedeckt Einheit:
'Gold Backed Units' Sold by the Vermillion bank based in Zubern, one unit cost exactly as much as one Draconic Ounce of 24 carat gold as per the Vinculi market price and likewise can be bought with gold. A lot of corporations can be squeamish about what kind of currency they accept as payment and so endorse the Einheit as a form of international currency which is backed by the fact that at any time, any amount of unit can be converted back in gold without any warning at the bank. This system has been going on for 3 centuries and the Vermillion bank has never once gone against its word.
Einheits are sold in certificates for set amount, in turn, certificates can be combined or split at a bank making for a easy and concealable way to carry millions in currency by both nobility and criminals as well. The banking secret here is king however and the bank does not provide any help should the valuable certificate be destroyed and as such, these slips of paper should be watched over carefully.
Drakoziran Fuel Type 77 (DFT-77):
While the nations of Vinculi benefit more or less equally of the Rocketry Institute's researches, they are free to customize these new technologies as they desire. One peculiar oddity in the field of rocketry however is the fuel sold exclusively by Serclaes Industries to Drakozir dubbed DFT-77. It is a liquid fuel that creates a lot more energy than any others known while being substantially less volatile. Having literally no downside to other fuels, it is a closely guarded secret that no one, even with samples at their disposal, has been able to reproduce. Truth is, the Primarch and Serclaes have a very special secret ingredient at their disposal. 'Ember'... is the name given by dragons to the glands that produce the flame they spit. Harvesting this liquid would be impractical to do on adult dragons, but not on freshly born ones.
It is no secret that Drakozir has purity laws in effect preventing incest as mix-breeding between certain linage as not to polute the warrior potential they have and likewise, some dragons do not enjoy the fact that their mates have been selected before they were even born and find love outside. The eggs of any of these intercourse are seized by the government to be destroyed, officially. Behind the curtain however, these eggs are hatched and the young dragonlings are hooked to tubes to drain their Ember, being feed by other tubes a diet to encourage its growth and kept sedated at all time. Dragons raised like that can generally survive a few short years before their glands become burned out and they are culled for scales and sent to the meat grinder. Ember fluid is then further processed and enriched to produce DFT-77. Needless to say, this is all extremely secretive as no doubt dragons would react violently to see their rejects being treated like so. No matter if they are bastards, they are still creatures worthy of more respect than that.
