Request: Harrenhal melted Brick/Stone/Marble textures

Request Type:
Unique Addition (specific to a build, region, or culture)

Describe the use of this block in said build, region, or culture. How is it unique? To the best of your knowledge how could it be used in a different context?
I think we should have melted brick variants of whatever main building blocks for Harrenhal will be. Of course not every single one, but it might make an interesting unique block set (slab, stair, fence). I think the melted aspect of Harrenhal is iconic enough that it warrants its own special care.

I know Thamus_Knoward has been working with 3D texture type shading and things. Could that be used to effect here to make the melt stand out? Just one idea.

If we really wanted it to be 3D, we could maybe work out a model. Maybe the thickest it would be would be 3 "layers"? Might be an interesting experiment at least to see if we could get such a detail to work in our style, even if it doesn't end up working.

We could also maybe use this block to some effect within the Dragonpit in King's Landing, or other lesser known dragon spots from the lore, depending on how well the texture could blend.

I found a good real life reference and photographs of a brick fort that reach extremely hot temperatures during a fire due to an old ammunition store in the basement. Good approximation of hot, magic, and sustained dragon fire? Warning, no idea what this link looks like without adblocker, but I'll attach some pictures here anyways.

The barrel vaults still standing!

Notice it got so hot the brick melted and formed stalactites dripping from the ceiling. Potential inspiration for a unique Harrenhal roof stalactite block? Such a thing already exists in Minecraft, we would just need to make a custom WB version and voila. Or just do another custom block type too. Tell me if this needs to be a separate request to consider
