Blood Ore

[Mythos]

Blood Ore​

If you're ever on Korriban, and decide to dig through it's red soil, you may come across an unusual ore. Blood Ore, it's called. Also called by the Sith as Stone of the Dark Lords. More precious than Kyber, you can forge it into anything. ~ Hemiway Zelcon; Blacksmith of Rare Metals

History​

Not much is known of this peculiar ore, but it is believed to be the fossilized remnants of ancient pooled blood left from the numerous wars that plagued Korriban's history. Few deposits have ever been discovered, mainly due to the Sith's presence and lack of outside opportunists, its rarely even known by the Sith themselves.

Description​

Much like Korriban's naturally crimson soil, it harbors a dark red hue that is almost obsidian in color. It permeates a deep iron smell to it, and its density and melting temperatures range very high. In order to forge this ore into a fashionable weapon, one must be a Master Blacksmith or hold knowledge to the similar ore known as Beskar.

Properties​

It's dark crimson hue and deep iron smell isn't the only properties that Blood Ore produces. It is a dense metal that is predominantly blaster resistant, but cannot withstand a lightsaber's blade strike indefinitely. It also akin to that of Bled Kyber, resonating with the Darkside and corrupting that of a Lightside. During smelting, it looses its darkened hue and becomes crimson in completion.

Intent​

This is intended to be used as a Darksided Sith variant of Mandalorian Beskar. Can be found mainly on Korriban, there are known veins to be found around war torn worlds where Sith Atrocities have been committed as well as worlds with Darkside Nexus.

I'm not sure how I feel about essentially creating "Beskar, but different." Beskar holds a rather special place in star wars lore for a reason, there is really nothing else like it or that even comes close. It's so rare and powerful that its even used as currency, I'm not really sure I want to dilute that or set the precedent we can just create what is essentially the same thing just from somewhere else, as it kind of takes away from what makes beskar special in the first place.

So on that ground I'm going to deny this.
