Salty Scorpid Venom

The scorpids crawling the arid expanse of the Shimmering Flats have adapted to an intensely mineral-rich environment. Over generations, the venom of beasts like the Scorpid Reavers and Scorpid Terrors has absorbed enormous quantities of local salt. Rather than brewing antidotes or standard poisons, gnomish tinkers like Fizzle Brassbolts prize this caustic compound as a prospective additive for high-combustion engine fuel.

Out at the Mirage Raceway, the engineering competition between gnomes and goblins drives inventors to test increasingly dangerous materials in their rocket cars. Fizzle Brassbolts believes boiling down the salted venom, treating it with specialized catalysts, and mixing it into propellant tanks will deliver the blazing heat necessary to outrun goblin racers on the salt pans.
