[The book is prefaced with a lengthy religious sermon. You skip ahead to the important part:]
Before you can create the finished ritual armor, you must first know about the components. Here you will find a brief list of everything you need.
Crushed Bloodstone - Grind two bloodstones to powder in a mixing bowl
Thaell Ew Ritual Temper - Distill the Crushed Bloodstone with Purified Ritual Water in a brew barrel
Croceus Ore - Annoint August Ore with the Ritual Temper then fire it in a Kiln
Kapok Leaves - obtained locally
Giant Reptile Tooth - obtained locally
The Croecus ore is used to create Rings, Chain Jointing, Studs, Bonings, and Folded Sheets. This metal is the most important part of the ritual armor, so be sure to craft it with care.
| [The book goes on at length on the intricacies of constructing the Thaell Ew Ritual Armor. Two other sections stand out:]
The required Kapok Leaves are only available from the canopies of the trees on the island. It's nearly impossible to climb these trees to obtain the leaves. Fortunately the aviaks have taken a liking to the leaves, so obtaining them is not that difficult. It seems they brew some kind of drink from them.
[And:]
The Giant Reptile Tooth is very challenging to obtain. You must be able to defeat our greatest adversary, the mighty tyrannosaurus. Unfortunately this often kills those who wish to create the ritual armor, which is why most no longer attempt it.
