Yellow Sand

The yellow sand found scattered throughout the area around Deadwood Forest goes by another name: Flame Sand. Craftsmen prize it for making all manner of fire-based tools and equipment—and since gathering it means venturing into one of the most unforgiving corners of the frontier, supplying it falls squarely on the shoulders of adventurers. The survival rate for those who make the trip is grim enough that the sand's value hasn't shifted in centuries.
