Bluster Bark is an amalgamation of various volcanic minerals that grows along the inner walls of volcanoes. Cracks in these walls, combined with intense heat and pressure, allow precious minerals from deep beneath the surface to bubble upward. As they force their way through the fissures, the minerals rapidly cool, forming spire-like structures. With a constant flow of magma and minerals pushing upward, these structures continue to grow and eventually branch out like the limbs of a tree.

Locals in volcanic regions admire Bluster Barks not only for their striking beauty but also for the rare and valuable minerals they contain. Reaching and mining a Bluster Bark is a dangerous endeavor—these formations often grow in treacherous locations, such as over bubbling magma pools or high along sheer volcanic cliffs. Still, the reward is worth the risk. Brave miners who succeed are rewarded with precious minerals and gems that can be forged into unique weapons and armor found only in these volcanic lands.
