Draconite can mean either the actual petrified scales of a dragon or, more commonly, the very heavy petrified substance of eastern Danona which is almost certainly not from dragons. Truly petrified dragon scales would be so rare as to command a genuine fortune in gold.
Draconite is used for artistic creations and to embellish. It is too heavy for practical use on personal armor, but is effective against all manner of pyrotechnic assault when used to fortify sites. Draconite can also be used to fireproof a strongbox and provide fireproofing for mechanism containing or subject to high-temperature fire. Draconite can be used on siege craft, such as rams, and for armor on giants, usually 9' or taller in height.
As draconite is rare and rather heavy, it is a costly material. Where it is relatively plentiful, in the deserts of eastern Danona, its weight makes it unsuitable for shipping from the region in any large amount. It is also prized by the native Jykki orcs who do not easily part with it.
