crimsonrevelations.research.CRIMSON_REVELATIONS.title=Crimson Revelations
crimsonrevelations.research.CRIMSON_REVELATIONS.text.stage.1=While most of the Cultists' book is written in an unintelligible script, there are patterns in the symbols which suggest I might be able to translate a bit more than I first thought. That's not to say it will be an easy task, but I may know where to start.<BR>On close inspection, the markings on the cult's banners bear a strong resemblance to certain thaumaturgical sigils. Maybe their meanings will become clear as I expand my thaumaturgical knowledge?<BR>In the meantime, I've spent so long studying the banners that it would be easy to make a few of my own with the same fabric material used for the Cultists' armor. The crimson plates in particular are already fairly similar to the symbols on the banner, so I just need to repurpose one and use Vis to work it into the fabric.

They appear to be made from unknown materials that I have been perplexed trying to figure out the origins of.<PAGE>The main components consist of a blood red fabric that is rather cold to the touch, and a dark gray plate made out of a lightweight yet strong metal that also bears the same familiar sigil.<BR>Unfortunately, replicating these items for my own use is impossible at this rate and I would have to get them from the Crimson Cultists themselves for now.

crimsonrevelations.research.ANCIENT_STONE.title=Manufacturing Ancient Stone
crimsonrevelations.research.ANCIENT_STONE.text.stage.1=Upon translating more of the Crimson Rites, "Apertis Oculis" seems to be the creation of a portal to another dimension. The Cultists describe it as an eldritch labyrinth made of strange, ancient stonework and inhabited by monstrous guardians.<BR>My studies into thaumaturgy lead me to believe that this dimension, if it ever existed, can no longer be accessed. However, the labyrinth's stonework is said to have interesting properties which may be worth replicating.

crimsonrevelations.research.ANCIENT_STONE.text.stage.2=By allowing Arcane Stone to mix with raw Alienis in a crucible, I've created something very close to the ancient stone described in the Crimson Rites. The newly-created Ancient Stone can also be made into tiles or inscribed with arcane runes, just for aesthetic purposes.

crimsonrevelations.research.CRIMSON_ARMOR.title=Crimson Cult Apparel
crimsonrevelations.research.CRIMSON_ARMOR.text.stage.1=Whatever else can be said about the Crimson Cult, they sure know how to dress. Now that I can craft their banner, why not try duplicating a set of armor or robes?<BR>I'm not quite sure how the process goes, but making a set in a similar way as I did for my Thaumaturge's Robes would be a good idea to start with.
crimsonrevelations.research.CRIMSON_ARMOR.text.stage.2=Success! The key was the major use of crimson plates, and the incorporation of a Crimson Cult banner directly into the apparel. Crimson Cult armor is similar to iron in terms of protection, but with slightly more durability and vastly more style. The robes are significantly more protective than my Thaumaturge's Robes, but barely better than mundane armor when it comes to channeling Vis.<BR>They also seem to be made with some sort of magic much darker than thaumaturgy and do not require as much Vis to craft for this reason. Wearing them for a long period of time feels unsettling...

crimsonrevelations.research.CRIMSON_SWORD.title=Crimson Cult Sword
crimsonrevelations.research.CRIMSON_SWORD.text.stage.1=Despite not knowing dangerous spells like the clerics, the knights are actually a very §osneaky§r type, the swords that they carry are tipped with a potent poison. I should thus be careful when dealing with them, especially in larger numbers, as even the toughest diamond armor won't protect me from being poisoned.<BR>Creating a replica of the sword wasn't that hard of a task, all I had to do was cover a basic iron sword with their specialized plates. For the poison, a couple of spider eyes was enough to suffice for that. The sword also reacts quite well to enchanting due to its rather high enchantability.

crimsonrevelations.research.CRIMSON_BLADE.title=Crimson Blade
crimsonrevelations.research.CRIMSON_BLADE.text.stage.1=The Crimson Rites tell of a sword forged from the void which saps strength and sustenance from its wielder's foes. Supposedly it lies in the center of an eldritch labyrinth, accessible only through the Opening of the Eye.<BR>I may not be well-versed enough in thaumaturgy to find this weapon, but my knowledge should be sufficient to create a copy.
crimsonrevelations.research.CRIMSON_BLADE.text.stage.2=My Crimson Blade is exactly as the Cultists described, and all without having to stumble through a single labyrinth. Anyone struck by the sword will feel fatigue and hunger as well as pain, as the blade drains their strength.<BR>Unlike what I first assumed, I gain no strength or vitality from attacking enemies with this sword. Instead, the weapon itself seems to drain the life of those it strikes. It's a bit disturbing to think about what use it might have for that stolen life, but not enough to keep me from putting it to good use.

crimsonrevelations.research.PRAETOR_ARMOR.title=Crimson Praetor Armor
crimsonrevelations.research.PRAETOR_ARMOR.text.stage.1=The most elite members of the Crimson Cult are said to wear armor with properties far beyond that of regular Crimson Knights. From the description of these "Crimson Praetors," their armor is to Crimson Cult armor what fortress armor is to regular thaumium armor. It shouldn't be too difficult for me to try its benefits for myself.
