Redwater

Redwater is a volatile and potent fuel source discovered by Harriet Ingleman 60 years ago. It is a thick, red, and faintly glowing substance who's consistency is roughly similar to that of blood. Its also extremely flammable and prone to exploding in extreme heat, making it useful for weaponry as well, as it burns at intense heats. It was this substance that allowed Rostevod to undergo such a rapid industrial revolution and advance its technology and culture by centuries in only 60 years.

Redwater is harvested from a certain organ in a certain species of beast called the Rieseox, a truly massive, herbivorous land mammal that wanders the great plains. In Rostevod, they are kept on farms and in slaughterhouses, where they are harvested for their Redwater day and night. It is said that the more adrenaline produced at the time of slaughter, the more potent and pure the Redwater is, so these slaughterhouses are provided with massive amounts of electricity.
