I learned of it from reading "The mine lord". There it was described that you can protect the tan from rotting by using the brains of the animal, but that it would also be a worse tan than if you had used other chemicals.Why isn't this guide talking about brain tanning? It was a pretty common practice before modern chemical tanning.
I mean, if you have no other options—I assume it's not going to be easy to get the chemicals needed for the chemical tan the guide brings up—brain tanning is a better solution than letting your leather rot.I learned of it from reading "The mine lord".

Maybe the author simply doesn't know about brain tanning. In the wikipedia page it only appears briefly mentioned, but not explained. Maybe we are the weirdos.I mean, if you have no other options—I assume it's not going to be easy to get the chemicals needed for the chemical tan the guide brings up—brain tanning is a better solution than letting your leather rot.
This is most likely the case. Authors love the write about things they know very little about and don't bother with researching more information.Maybe the author simply doesn't know about brain tanning.

I'm not an expert, but damn the tanning session made me die a bit inside![]()
