A group of radiant noblewomen. Must be the Mermaid Oil.

 

Origin

 

Siren Oil was first made popular by a Kompanie of Jagdmarines, who, after clearing a cove of Sirens, began butchering the creatures for their parts. At the time, it was already known that the fatty tissues surrounding a Siren’s organs could be rendered into a slow-burning fuel source, and the Kompaniemen often made use of these Siren Candles as a light source. However, there was opportunity afoot, and this was a particularly enterprising Kompanie.

 

A fair was being held in the nearby city, and seeing an opportunity, they mixed the rendered fat with fragrances, and began peddling it to visiting noblewomen as long-lasting aromatherapeutic oils. While many were skeptical, there was no falsehoods in their advertising. Siren Oil burned cleanly, carried scents further, and quickly became a local sensation.

 

It wasn’t long before others saw its potential. Experimentation led to the refinement of Siren Oil for facial application, repackaged under the more appealing name Mermaid Oil, and used in various skincare products.

 

Description

 

The fatty tissue surrounding a Siren’s organs serves as insulation, keeping them warm and functional when diving deep into the sea. When harvested, this tissue can be rendered over a flame to produce Siren Oil, which has a high melting point of 50°C. Once cooled, the oil solidifies into compact fuel chunks, often referred to as Siren Candles. These chunks burn slowly, with minimal smoke and a neutral scent, making them ideal for belt lanterns, room lighting, and other long-lasting flames. Without any additives, Siren Oil takes on a pale pink tint.

 

When mixed with other substances, Siren Oil enhances their scent intensity and longevity, making it a sought-after ingredient in perfumery and cooking. When blended into creams or liquid oils, it transforms into a versatile cosmetic product, and is often referred to as Mermaid Oil in this context.

 

Capabilities

 

As a source of light, Siren Oil burns slowly with little smoke. Even when tossed around within a closed lantern, a lit Siren Candle will not be put out with ease.

 

As an aroma amplifier, Siren Oil intensifies existing scents, and allows them to travel farther after the application of heat. This gives it great utility in the production of scented lamp oils, cooking, and even hunting.

 

As an ingredient in skincare, Mermaid Oil has three key properties. The first is its ability to control and prevent breakouts of acne. The second is its ability to lock in moisture. The third is the gentle radiance it imparts to the skin. The oil itself feels gentle and thin to the touch, allowing users to wear it with comfort.

 

Redlines

 

Siren Oil has a melting point of 50°C, causing it to naturally solidify at room temperature. When mixed with other substances, it can liquefy into a creamier or more watery form.

 

Purpose

 

I want to carve cool things from monster corpses.

This lore has been denied.

Veto'd due to a perception of Lore-Bloat. Players are already free to make perfumes and skincare options. If you want to turn fat into candles I do not think anyone will give you a hard-time either.
