|
|
2044 | |
|
|
2045 | Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Brazilianite. |
|
|
2046 | |
|
|
2047 | It has a rough texture and is of pale yellowish-white colour and a biting |
|
|
2048 | smell. |
|
|
2049 | |
|
|
2050 | Nobody knows for sure who named it like this, but since no natural sources |
|
|
2051 | of it have been found it is rumored that it came from a far-away country. |
|
|
2052 | |
|
|
2053 | The value of Brazialinite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and |
|
|
2054 | other items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's dexterity. |
|
|
2055 | |
|
|
2056 | It can often be found in old and thinned-out, rough walls. |

|
|
2061 | |
|
|
2062 | It is sharp-edged and is of dark green colour. |
|
|
2063 | |
|
|
2064 | The name is thought to come from the archaic Do-l'os - "he who continues". |
|
|
2065 | |
|
|
2066 | The value of Dolomite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and |
|
|
2067 | other items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's stamina and |
|
|
2068 | constitution. |
|
|
2069 | |
|
|
2070 | It can often be found in the rock of very high mountains. |

2072 | =head1 The Mineral Flourite |
|
|
2073 | |
|
|
2074 | Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Flourite. |
|
|
2075 | |
|
|
2076 | It has a porous texture and is of bright green colour, almost as if glowing. |
|
|
2077 | |
|
|
2078 | The name is thought to come from the archaic Flu-l'dos - "he who inflicts |
|
|
2079 | pain", as it is often used to improve weapons. |
|
|
2080 | |
|
|
2081 | The value of Flourite lies in its stored magical energy. Weapons and other |
|
|
2082 | items imbued with its energy improve the wielder's strength. |
|
|
2083 | |
|
|
2084 | It's only known natural sources can be found on the so called "Three |
|
|
2085 | sisters Island" between the Scorn and Navar continents. |

2087 | =head1 The Mineral Marcasite |
|
|
2088 | |
|
|
2089 | Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Marcasite. |
|
|
2090 | |
|
|
2091 | It has rough rock-like texture and is of greyish colour. |
|
|
2092 | |
|
|
2093 | It was named after the great philosopher Marcas, who, today almost |
|
|
2094 | unknown, was widely known during his lifetime. Only considerable time |
|
|
2095 | after his death was it found out that all his wisdom came from one of his |
|
|
2096 | rings made of Marcasite. While this didn't diminish his great words, it |
|
|
2097 | did diminish his fame. |
|
|
2098 | |
|
|
2099 | The value of Marcasite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued with |
|
|
2100 | its energy improve the wearer's wisdom. |
|
|
2101 | |
|
|
2102 | The best known source for this mineral can be found in the Church of |
|
|
2103 | Gorokh in Scorn, very deep down in their so-called "Hell", which they |
|
|
2104 | apparently think to be a nice place to be in. |
|

|
|
2106 | =head1 The Mineral Olivine |
|
|
2107 | |
|
|
2108 | Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Olivine. |
|
|
2109 | |
|
|
2110 | It consists of two different, green and dark-green globule materials. |
|
|
2111 | |
|
|
2112 | It was named by empress Olo of Orn in or around EK 8317, who couldn't |
|
|
2113 | satiate her lust for this mineral, and almost caused an economic disaster |
|
|
2114 | because she spend all her money on it instead of more important things, |
|
|
2115 | and somehow nobody managed to convince her otherwise. |
|
|
2116 | |
|
|
2117 | The value of Olivine lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued with |
|
|
2118 | its energy improve the wearer's charisma. |
|
|
2119 | |
|
|
2120 | The best known source for this mineral can be found in the Church of |
|
|
2121 | Valriel in Scorn, apparently very high up in their so-called "Heaven". |
|
|
2122 | |
|
|
2123 | =head1 The Mineral Phlogopite |
|
|
2124 | |
|
|
2125 | Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Phlogopite. |
|
|
2126 | |
|
|
2127 | It looks like a dark brown rock, not unlike the colour of excrements (but |
|
|
2128 | of course with a more rock-like texture). |
|
|
2129 | |
|
|
2130 | Since the mineral is so worthless but yet so common, miners often say "Oh |
|
|
2131 | Flog!" when they get Phlogopite instead something more valuable. It was |
|
|
2132 | named after the minor goddess of Flog, one of the beings miners often pray |
|
|
2133 | to ensure (as they think) their survival. Apparently she does not care |
|
|
2134 | much about her name being used as an obvious invective... |
|
|
2135 | |
|
|
2136 | The biggest value of Phlogopite lies in its beauty, in which it is |
|
|
2137 | considerably lacking, so it isn't worth all that much. At least it can be |
|
|
2138 | somewhat useful to miners, as the presence of Phlogopite often hints at |
|
|
2139 | the presence of other, more useful, minerals. |
|
|
2140 | |
|
|
2141 | It can be found in rock almost anywhere. |

2143 | =head1 The Mineral Rhodochrosite |
|
|
2144 | |
|
|
2145 | Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Rhodochrosite. |
|
|
2146 | |
|
|
2147 | It easily crumbles in your hand and has a pinkish colour. |
|
|
2148 | |
|
|
2149 | Nothing is known about the origin of its name (which is very pretty, I |
|
|
2150 | tell you). |
|
|
2151 | |
|
|
2152 | The value of Rhodochrosite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued |
|
|
2153 | with its energy improve the wearer's magical powers, which makes it very |
|
|
2154 | valuable to all kinds of practitioners of the arts. |
|
|
2155 | |
|
|
2156 | It is best found in Valleynoy, which has a mining guild specialised on |
|
|
2157 | Rhodochrosite. |

|

|
|
2159 | =head1 The Mineral Spectrolite |
|
|
2160 | |
|
|
2161 | Herein will you find useful facts about the mineral Spectrolite. |
|
|
2162 | |
|
|
2163 | It has a very smooth texture, and has a slightly transparent yellowish |
|
|
2164 | colour with dark corners. |
|
|
2165 | |
|
|
2166 | It is named after the only place where it can be found naturally, the |
|
|
2167 | Spectre mountain ring. |
|
|
2168 | |
|
|
2169 | The value of Spectrolite lies in its stored magical energy. Items imbued |
|
|
2170 | with its energy improve the wearer's brightness, making him or her |
|
|
2171 | more intelligent, which makes it especially valuable to all kinds of |
|
|
2172 | practitioners of the arts. |
|
|
2173 | |
|
|
2174 | The Spectre mountain ring is, surprisingly, a ring-mountain north of |
|
|
2175 | Scorn. |
