Rarity: Exceptionally Rare: Found on the small island of Ishallr in the ice caves there only
Skills Needed to Obtain / Work: Extremely dangerous to obtain due to location.
Details: These are found in Ishallr ice caves
Price: Not for sale
Other Information: These are considered largely myths. Few people believe they exist.
Properties: Always black in colour, these stones are, on the purpose, entirely normal stones. However, even a short space of time in the presence of one of these stones tells you what its properties are. The stones seem to drain emotions and the ability to feel them. This means that being close (within 20ft) or even better to be touching these stones means that the individual experiences muted emotions. Over a period of a break it gets to the point that the individual is entirely emotionless and, arguably, an entirely rational being. As soon as the stone is taken out of the proximity of the individual, they quickly return to normal.

Acquired By: Exploration of beaches on Scalvoris where it is very common. This is the only place it exists.
Rarity: Only on specific beaches on the island of Scalvoris. Please see this thread
Price: Freely available on the beaches identified, 2gn for a jar in any other area of Scalvoris only. Not available elsewhere.
Other Information: The sands of Scalvoris are as strange as the rest of the island and the Blue Sand is no exception. It's deep blue colour is the sort of deep blue of midnight.
Properties: Blue sand has a slight sparkle to it, meaning that the blue sand beaches are particularly beautiful, especially at night. The sand itself has a hard-to-spot, but well known quality which is that sound resonates better when one is on it. When sitting on a blue sand beach, songs sound better, voices sound more melodic. It makes sounds sound better. Egilrun glass made from this sand produces some of the best musical instruments and blue-glass instruments have amazing depth and beauty of tone and pitch.

Rarity: Very Common on Scalvoris. Found easily around Ol' Tuck's Run. Uncommon off of Scalvoris. Durability: Medium (for clay) Estimated Price: 5 sn per pound Native to: Scalvoris
Information: Ol' Tuck's Shellshine is a fairly standard clay. If used in pottery, it functions normally, albeit makes shinier objects.

Once the clay is broken off the object, it will be cleaned and shinier than if it were new and will retain the shine for about 5 tentrial. If applied to rusty objects and left in the sun for 5 trials, it will completely remove the rust.

Name: Turtle Emerald Type of Material: Gemstone How To Gather: Find it in Ol' Tuck's Run Skill Level/Skills Needed: Field Craft (Novice) to gather, Jewelrycrafting (Novice) to use Rarity: Very Common on Scalvoris, easily found in Ol' Tuck's Run. Uncommon off Scalvoris. Durability: Low (for gems) Estimated Price: 1 SN Base x (per carat + per width modifiers) x2 if a segment is whole OR x100 if whole shell found intact Native to: Ol' Tuck's Run
Information: Turtle Emeralds are formed when the shells of the many turtles and tortoises fall into the mineral rich waters of Ol' Tuck's Run and sit for many arcs. The high concentration of quartz and other minerals causes the shells to crystallize into a beautiful gemstone of green hues. Typically the shell segments fall apart from each other in the process, but in extremely rare cases a whole shell can be found crystallized. These gemstones are quite brittle, and are a favorite for youth as they are easy enough to find for anyone.

Type of Material: Metal Acquired By: Mining Rarity: Rare Details: This pitch black metal is uniquely found inside the volcano on Faldrass, where the intense heat and pressure are just right for it to form. When placed on a fire or other hot surface it will slowly absorb excess heat energy from it and then very slowly release it once taken away, making it a desirable material to obtain for nobles, as if left over a fireplace it will keep the room warm for the rest night when the fire is out. Price: 300gn per ingot. Other Information: After years of experiementing Forbick has found a way to blend Magmakite into other metals so as to give them a special property without loosing sharpness or durability. For an extra 300gn a weapon bought (in thread) from Forbick will be a shade darker and laced with thin black veins, and will retain the heat of any temperature it is exposed to for trials to come without melting. The handle and sheath of this weapon will be modified to make it safe to hold.

Type of Material: Sand Short Description During the trial, when the suns are shining, Yellow Sand looks just like the sand that you can find on beaches all across Idalos, with the exception of a slight yellow tinge.

Eating a little does not have any side effect (although people might think you weird if they see you eating sand). Eating Yellow Sand in larger quantities might cause abdominal pain though. Since the glow is not very strong, it is impossible to tell if you glow on the inside once you have ingested it. Appearance During the trial, Yellow Sand looks just like normal sand, with the exception of a slight yellow tinge. At night, it emits a soft phosphorescent glow for a while though. Properties Yellow sand emits a soft phosphorescent glow. Rarity Uncommon How To Use Can be gathered and put into a jar. Someone with Expert Alchemy can use it to make items that glow.
