Strip of Burnt, Tattooed Flesh

A strip of burnt flesh is here, covered in tattoos.

Cut from the torso of a fire giant, this flesh is significantly disfigured by burn scarring. Distorted markings suggest that it was once covered in tattoos, but they are utterly illegible.

Skinned from the corpse of Leveler Adamas, a large sanced berserker fire giant (worth about 1800 xp solo after a reboot).

Used in a quest in White Raven Alighting Unseen's room, "Against sheer mesa cliffs". If you drop this in this room, it becomes furniture which stays in the room until reboot and cannot be picked up, and White Raven tells you to light a fire:

 You drop a strip of burnt, tattooed flesh.
 The flesh's markings seem to change color as you place it on the slab.
 White Raven Alighting Unseen says 'A worthy sacrifice, though the gods who once dwelled here are either dead or gone.'
 White Raven Alighting Unseen says 'I suspect you will have to light the offering pyre yourself.'

Dropping a Heart of Fire next will spawn the Leveler Tattoos, a powerful arm piece for a soloer fusilier.

Something similar can be done with the Severed Head of a Giant but, again, lighting the fire is unknown.

If you try giving the item to White Raven instead of dropping it, he will give it back with a clue:

White Raven Alighting Unseen says 'As I suspected, the tattooed sigils grant power. But while they are trapped in someone else's skin, they can't be harnessed.'
