Hoverboard
Mechanics & Inner Workings
There's a propulsion system that allows the hoverboard to hover above the ground, with a small cap that hides a nozzle that allows the containment of Ectoplasm. This ectoplasm gets used up as fuel, but usually lasts a long amount of time. Filling it to the brim can give you 3 months of use.
History
There's not a lot of energy sources in the underworld, there was food through monsters to hunt, there were building materials, but it wasn't enough to truly push them over the edge. Thus, eventually Zanofar taught the demons how to utilize souls for power. It was possible to extract a resource from a soul without destroying it, this resource being Ectoplasm.
Whilst extracting too much from a single soul at once can cause it to grow unstable, small amounts should be safe. They were able to power many devices, but none so iconic as the hoverboard. The hoverboard was invented later down the line, being used long after the banishment of Zanofar. The hoverboard became rather popular in the years, even starting several annual hoverboard tournamnets for fighting on boards to using them for races.
Significance
These are important to Infernin culture, as they're able to cross the land with relative ease on these hoverboards, and also are quite popularized among them as they're a popular trend. They've also been helpful in raids to attack settlements in hit and run missions.

Rarity
They're typically only sold in Brimstone, as all other stores tend to look at the technology with distrust, not knowing how to properly refuel it as they don't have soulsmiths outside of Brimstone. There's the possibility of taking it from an Infernin raider but it will eventually run out of ectoplasm.
Raw materials & Components
They're made of a variety of materials, usually they prefer steel if plausible but other materials are not unheard of. There's magic ornate gemstones that work to transfuse the ectoplasm into fuel. There's usually a couple of jets that activate to propel the board with relative ease, and usually have a series of small sensors on the board that allow the rider to tell it what you want to do.
Tools
You'd need a steep knowledge of soulsmithing to get it to work, at least two nethergems to channel the ectoplasm, and a forge with a set of smithing tools along with some mechanical tools.
