What lore do you ignore?

[Emitans]

We only discovered the freak properties of the radios after the warding scales had been made.

My memory isn't great but I think we continued to use Vrtra to make them even after learning about the radios.

I'd have to check but I don't remember us making new warding scales afterwards. We altered existing ones for heading into the Thirteenth, though, so if you have an idea of where we made other scales, it'd help a lot with narrowing it down!

That's probably it. My memory isn't the best, especially when it comes to small details like that.

I might be wrong or mistaken, but isn't the material used in the Garlean Radios that provides their anti-tempering powers Giantsgall? And isn't that same material used in the process of converting Vrtra's scales into protective talismans?

I would need to comb through the text to figure out if that's actually the case.

Yes, I do remember that being implied. IIRC it's that the ore is from Corvos which is close to (and I think elsewhere stated to be geographically similar to) Thavnair.

So if it is giantsgall or similar, it's possible that the radios have a small amount of power to protect from a single burst of tempering, but it's the dragon scales that give it lasting energy to protect you in a danger zone, or something like that.

Corvos is just across the sea (where alzadars legacy takes place) from thavnir in south central ilsabard

Corvos is across the Corvos Narrow in the Bounty, north of Thavnair. It would make sense if they would share materials. Although Corvos is not geographically similar to Thavnair, but rather to Labyrinthos, which is explicitly said to be based on the geography and climate of Corvos.

apparently mountain dew is actually canon? i don't know what asinine sort of statement they must have made during that collab reveal, but it's amazing how little the developers seem to care about the integrity of their world if this is true.

"Mountain Dew" isn't canon. A group of Hannish alchemists made an alchemical concoctions to tame a subspecies of zu. That's it. That's what's canon.

It's pretty clear that Wyssahtyn has at-best second-hand information about this one, and has just decided to be angry before they even properly learned what they were supposed to be mad about.
