Crawling Tears

A virulent strain of reddish-black lichen that covers much of the ground on Pyre. It can thrive in absurdly low temperatures, often growing in a crust up to four inches thick. It can be carved into small tools and implements, although it will always remain somewhat porous. A suitably large piece can even be made into a sort of durable shell armor — oddly lightweight for Pyroi warriors, but nevertheless effective.
