 ==== Chronosium ====
-With vibrant hues of blue, orange, purple, and white shifting across its surface, chronosium is thought to have been created by the [[history:veiledempire|Empire of the Veil:]] one of the first civilizations to arise on Jaern after the destruction of Torandor. It anchors one in the timeline, warding off baleful chronomantic effects or quickening the wielder when made into a weapon.

 Chronosium is incredibly malleable, even able to be stretched into a thread that can be woven into fabrics. Some legends say that it is the concept of time itself condensed into physical form.

 ==== Mythril ====
-This metal is light, both in color and weight. It has long been used in [[lore:races:humanoids#elves|elven]] communities to forge lightweight weapons and armor, fit for speeding through thick forests with agility and dexterity. Its appearance is almost pearlescent - an extremely light-colored metal that ranges from silvery to something akin to rose gold.

 Mythril veins are often found in large forested areas, pointing to why elves were the first to discover and use it. It is said to be equal in strength to a good steel, but half as heavy.

 ==== Demonslayer Ore ====
-This pitch-black stone is strangely sharp and light for its appearance, resembling a heftier version of obsidian. Red lines, which can resemble geometric patterns or organic veins, run through it and glow when demons are near. When made into a weapon, infernal runes are etched onto it which have the power to reveal and harm [[lore:races:supernatural#infernal_origin|demons]]. A favorite of many monster hunters.

 ==== Eternal Ice ====

 Eternal ice is incredibly difficult to work with, as it cannot be forged like a metal. Therefore, artisans working with this material sometimes line metal weapons' blades with eternal ice to achieve a similar effect.
+==== Jinghua ====
+Also known as Living Jade, this greenish stone with fiery flecks reminiscent of fire opal is considered a good luck charm in [[settings:cahyali:ruefang|Ruefang]], [[settings:cahyali|Cahyali.]] It is also rarely found in other parts of Cahyali. Initially a rather inert stone that can store minimal amounts of magic, jinghua can be "activated", turning it into a powerful and dangerous fuel source.
+Activating jinghua requires two things: exposure to radiation, and exposure to an organic fluid like blood. After this, it begins to glow and thrum, becoming brighter when close to a leyline. Activated jinghua is capable of initiating and exacerbating a deadly ailment known as //Leyline Sickness//, which can take many forms and can cause grotesque mutations.
+==== Milphite ====
+Rumor has it that this crystal is made out of the souls of elves who perished in Torandor's Elvesbane plague or Cahyali's [[history:cahyali:solarwrath|Day of Solar Wrath]]. It grows in spiky clusters, similar to quartz, and seems to have swirling bright spots somewhere deep inside. Milphite crystals come in just about any color, with the most common being green and orange.
+Milphite is an essential component of airships, as it provides the ability for these vehicles to fly. Other levitating vehicles also use milphite in their construction. Although it is too brittle and volatile to be used as armor or weaponry, it is still an important material in the world.

 ==== Skybough Amber ====
-This unique material drips like sap from the branches of skybough trees, mystical, towering trees that grow only in the [[settings:planes:dreaming|Dreaming]]. When collected properly and carefully cured, skybough amber becomes a strong yet light material favored by [[lore:races:supernatural#fey_origin|fey]] lords for their personal equipment.

 It resembles mundane amber in color: a translucent yellow-orange. Armor sets made from skybough amber are often adorned with other materials such as cloth and preserved leaves.
