Tempers and Tanning Agents

Cultural smithing, racial tailoring and Velious tailoring require several brewed tempers and tanning agents. Note that ALL smithing tempers can be brewed by brewers of ALL races. Race restrictions are only for the smith working on the appropriate racial smithing item. These items are all combined in a brew barrel.
