Ichorstone

Ichorstone is a valuable resource native to the Kingdom of Ferrecarus. It is valued for its properties in containing light and is a highly-sought catalyst in the arcane. The stone itself embodies one of the fundamental forces in the universe, light. In some circles, it is referred to as ichorite.

Deposits
Ichorstone is very valuable, and thus many mines exist to extract the ore. At this point in history, it is widely accepted that a majority of the stone has been mined and used. Venefice is the world's leading exporter of ichorstone, and its Isle of Vis is notorious for the world's largest deposit. Naturally occuring ichorstone has a tendency to appear underground close to sacred sites.

Normal Ichorstone
Typically ichorstone is glassy, transparent, mineral that gives off a faint glow. Its luminescence was revered by ancient humans, and today it is still regarded as symbol of the gods. Acolytes and gods are notably more powerful when in the presence of ichorstone, so many temples are equipped with it nationwide. Ichorstone can also store and channel the power of light, as well as contain the Will of the Gods. This was discovered when The Party shattered a large deposit in Caemanu.

Inert Ichorstone
Inert ichorstone is considered "spent" and is of little use to temples. However, many artificers find it a useful conduit for arcane energies. Outside of this, very little use has been discovered for it.
