MINERALS, GEMS,METALS
1•MINERAL FORMATIONMinerals are solid mixtures of chemicals. Miner-
als in turn combine to form rocks. For instance, gran-ite rock can be made up of the minerals quartz, feld-spar, mica, and even the gem tourmaline.
Minerals are formed in three basic ways:Sedimenary: The softest and often youngest minerals,
these are created by evaporation as sediments on seabottoms or riverbeds are exposed and dry.
Igneous: The smallest group, these minerals are formedfrom cooled magma and lava. They include magnetite,granite, and the rock pumice.
Metamorphic: heat and pressure deep in the earth formthese (the hardest) minerals, which include thegemstones.
2•SPECIFIC STONESMost of the following minerals in this section are
architectural or sculptural materials, too common and/or fragile to be used as jewelry but useful and lovely formore massive applications.Cavarite: Metamorphic rock, deep grey-green or blue-green
in color, used by the Earthwardens in all their most importantstructures. It is incredibly hard and resists weathering betterthan any other stone. Only the hardest steel tools can domore than scratch it. The source of Cavarite has never beenlocated.
Granite: Dense, igneous rock used in construction and outdoorsculpture. Granite can be polished to a high luster, and mosthas an elegant dark grey or black color with inclusions ofsimilar color.
Ky’taal: A translucent white marble, workable but resilient.It is found almost exclusively in the Mur Fostisyr region ofnorthwest Jaiman.
Limestone: Yellow-grey, sedimentary rock created fromfossilized remains of tiny creatures or from mineral deposits;it is a soft stone frequently used in construction.
Marble: This decorative, dense limestone is formed in manyvarieties. The finest, ungrained white marble is known asPentallic, used chiefly for sculpture because of its regularity.Red, green and blue varieties with fine veins are valuedprimarily for architectural uses such as building facings andfloor tiles. Travertine is a pale brown color, laced with myriadsmall wormholes (actually air bubbles) also favored forbuilding use. Pentallic is white with a translucent appearance.
Porphyry: A smooth purplish rock, sometimes with veins,used as facings on special buildings and for sculpture.
Orhan Marble: While not really from the Great Moon, thisbeautiful blue-white stone has innate properties whichsuggest an almost ‘heavenly’ origin. “Evil” beings or creatureswhich serve the Unlife must make a RR vs a -th lvlattack (depending on how much and how pure the marbleis) when passing through a doorway of Orhan Marble. Evenif they succeed, if they do so by less than (and have noother identity-cloaking devices/spells) the marble will glowbright blue. Orhan Marble was used long ago in the
construction of certain good places of power, but the materialis rare and hard to work. In small quantities it is not veryuseful.
Sandstone: Another popular building material, sandstone issedimentary, created by compressed layers of sand. Whileeasy to carve, it resists erosion relatively well.
Slate: Grey, green or deep blue metamorphic rock easlity splitinto flat smooth plates; often used in roofing.
3•GEMSAmong the most precious of objects in any pre-
industrial society are gems and jewels. Below is a list-ing of gemstones a PC might encounter (if he islucky). A few of the gems described below are in-trinsically enchanted and their properties are indi-cated.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION NOTESMost minerals gems are either crystalline, occur-
ring as single stones, each with a definite structurethat is regularly repeated throughout crystals of thesame sort; or massive, occurring as continuous massesof that mineral, having no regular structure that isreadily discernible.
Crystalline stones are generally smaller, more valu-able, and often faceted—a process by which they areflaked or ground into a series of flat faces that to-gether usually form one of several customary cuts, inthe shape of symmetrical but irregular polyhedra.
Both crystalline and massive stones may be smoothcut, which is the act of forming them into regularshapes with flat surfaces suitable for engraving (suchas often found in signet rings). They may be madeinto cabochons, which are oval or round dome-likeshapes with one flat side for mounting on varioussurfaces. They may also be carved into beads, figu-rines, or other shapes, or simply polished in the natu-ral shape of the stone. Massive stones are sometimesfound large enough to be shaped like one would woodor architectural stone; sections may be sawn off andused decoratively as slabs; or, they may be carved intojars, bowls, and other functional shapes.
Inclusions are any of the specks of material,bubbles, tiny flaws, impurities and the like which af-fect the appearance of a stone by their presence. Cat’s-eye stones, found among many mineral families, arecaused by certain patterns of inclusions which, whena stone is shaped properly, present an appearance likethe slit-shaped pupil of a cat’s eye. Star gems haveanalogous patterns creating the illusion of a pale, six-rayed star. Both cat’s-eyes and stars must usually becut into cabochons to display these effects.
GEM VALUESAs noted above, gems listed below fall into two
basic types: crystalline and massive. This is to someextent also how the gems break down into catego-ries of value. Obviously, a cut ten-tal diamond hasvalue on a completely different scale than a jade beadnecklace weighing a pound.
Therefore, values are given for the more rare gems(usually crystalline) per tal, a weight measurementof about one th of an ounce (similar to about -
227
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: APPENDIX B
227MASTER ATLAS
XVI Terran karats).
GM Note: to help you get a ‘feel’ for the weights weare discussing, get five quarters. Together they weighalmost exactly an ounce (ten tali). One quarterweighs about two tali.In addition, this should not be a strictly sliding
scale, as larger gems would be relatively much morevaluable. In some of the most treasured gems, thevalue may actually double for every additional tal.(e.g., a one-tal diamond would be worth , a -tal gem , -tal , -tal , etc. Itis probably only this steep of a progression for a hand-ful of gems: adamant, diamond, emerald, for instance.
The value of a given stone will depend on its size,color, relative freedom from flaws, and the skill withwhich it has been polished and/or cut. Values givenassume the gem has been cut and polished.Common: Common gems (including massive stonesand some more plentiful crystalline forms) are val-ued per ounce. Unlike rare gems, common gem val-ues do not increase exponentially with the size ofthe gem. While this is also generally the value of afinished item, the value of the workmanship becomesrelatively more important, multiplying the worth ofthe object from to to even times.
GEM NOTES & MAGICIn italics after some gem descriptions are notes re-
garding their intrinsic magical powers (if any), ortheir potential usefulness as a receptacle for enchant-ing. Some gems are more receptive to certain realmsand types of enchantment than others. If a realm butno specific power is mentioned this means the gemhas no intrinsic powers but is well adapted for use inmagical items of that realm, such as a spell pointenhancer.
GEM DESCRIPTIONSAdamant (+ sp/tal): A clear white stone similar in many
ways to the diamond, but even harder and more brilliant. Itis exceptionally rare and of course difficult to facet.
Alexandrite ( sp/tal): Alexandrite is an unique variety ofchrysoberyl (see below). In daylight, an alexandrite isbrilliant green with a vague bluish tint; in the light of aflame it appears red with a hint of blue. It is normally faceted.
Amber ( sp/tal; varies): Amber is the hardened resin ofancient giant conifers. It is normally pale-gold to deep-goldcolor, but also appears as murky, near-black “bog amber.”The most transparent golden pieces are more valuable, andthe rarest and most precious of these have bits of plants, oreven whole insects, preserved within. More valuable still(-x) in the markets of Sel-kai is blue or green amber, foundin the forests of Khûm-kaan (and of course blue or greenamber with an imbedded insect is most prized). Amber iscarved into beads and cabochons, and sometimes larger, moreintricate shapes. It is very brittle, somewhat flammable, andrelatively soft.
Amethyst ( sp/tal): Amethyst is the pale to deep purple formof transparent crystalline quartz. Amethyst of real value iscompletely clear; such stones are faceted. Pale stones, orthose with many inclusions, are often polished and used asbeads. Mentalism. Enhances mental clarity; improves memory.
Aquamarine ( sp/tal): The Aquamarine is a transparentcrystalline stone of a pale blue-green; like the emerald, it is
a type of beryl, but it shows fewer flaws than an emerald ofequal size. It is normally faceted. A favorite of the LinæriElves. Mentalism.
Aventurine: ( sp/ounce) Blue-green, opaque, with goldflecks; usually polished into cabochons. Channeling. Bringsjoy; cures anxiety. Used in items repelling Fear.
Azurite ( sp/ounce) Azurite is a form of copper ore, anopaque massive stone of a deep pure blue color, generallyuniform but sometimes slightly mottled. It is polished andcut into beads, cabochons, and similar shapes; a stone ofuniform color is more valuable.
Banded Agate ( bp/tal) This is the translucent-to-opaque,multi-layered variety of massive quartz. The layers mayinclude brown, black or white (onyx), pale blue(chalcedony), red-orange (carnelian), and many others, eachin a thin layer.
Beryl: A name given to a variety of gemstones, includingaquamarines, emeralds and heliodors (a golden hued beryl).Value varies with color.
Bloodstone: ( gp/ounce) A soft, sandy stone dark red incolor. It can stop a wound bleeding up to hits per round inseconds by just placing the stone over it. Each oz stone willonly work once before the virtue is spent, however.
Bluestone: ( gp/ounce) Similar to Azurite in appearancebut enchanted. Protecting against evil Essence, a talisman of aBluestone (of one ounce or more; though more than ounceadds no more protection) worn around the neck adds + toRRs vs all Essence spells (including spells the wearer may wantcast on him).
Carnelian: ( sp/ounce) Red-orange in hue, another formof massive quartz. Enhances creativity and prosperity. Sometimesused in counting-beads. Mentalism.
Chalcedony ( sp/ounce): This is a translucent-to-opaque,blue-white to pale blue or blue-gray form of massive quartz.It occurs in evenly colored and in banded forms.
Chrysoberyl ( bp/tal): Chrysoberyl is a transparent, greenish-yellow to green, crystalline stone. Clear stones are faceted;the cat’s-eyes are cut as cabochons. A favorite gem of theErlini.
Citrine ( bp/tal): This is transparent form of crystallinequartz, ranging from pale yellow to amber in color. Manystones are polished and made into beads, or carved into smallcups, figurines, and other shapes; clear specimens are faceted.
Coral (- sp/tal): Coral is the skeleton of tropical marinepolyp colonies; jewelry-quality coral is exceptionallycompact, solid and free of pores. The chief “red” varietyalso occurs in shades ranging from pure white to very darkred; black and blue varieties also exist. All forms are polishedand carved into beads, cabochons, or figurines.
Diamond (- sp/tal): Diamond is a transparent,crystalline stone, the hardest substance known in natureaside from Adamant. The most valued color is a clear bluish-white, but other less valued color varieties are known, amongthem yellow and pink. The gem is always faceted.
Eissa’s Tears † ( sp/tal): Clear, pale blue gems, Eissa’sTears are said to warn and protect against death. Indeed, ifblessed by a Sister of Eissa, they have mystical powers. Aminimum of one carat is required, though a larger stone (ormore than one stone per person) does not enhance itsqualities. Channeling; must have ‘Bless V’ cast by a sister ofEissa; detects servants of the Unlife within ´ by giving off abluish glow, and add + to RRs vs Absolutions cast by evilbeings (if the wearer’s RR fails, the gem shatters).
Emerald (- sp/tal): This is a deep bright green varietyof beryl, transparent and crystalline. Usually it is faceted,
228
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: APPENDIX B

XVIthough an occasional stone with numerous inclusions willbe made into a cabochon. A large, comparatively flawlessstone will be more valuable than a diamond of similarqualities—and much more rare. It is favored by Linæri.
Fluorite (1-10 sp/ounce): Pale green or purple in color, it hasa cloudy-translucent appearance, and can be made into beadsor cabochons. Technologically advanced smiths know offluorite’s usefulness in making alloys.
Garnet (10 sp/tal): Garnet is a transparent crystalline stone;in addition to the usual orangish-to purplish-red or red-brown, garnets also occur in black, violet, and even greencolor varieties. The violet form is most valuable. Smallcrystals, the most frequently occurring form, are sometimesdrilled and strung into necklaces; larger stones are faceted.
Jacinth (500 sp/tal): The jacinth is the orange to fiery red-orange variety of the hard, transparent crystalline mineralcorundum (ruby and sapphire are also corundum). It isfaceted, except in the case of rare translucent cat’s-eye andstar jacinths. Essence. Often used in PP multipliers.
Jade (4-20 sp/ounce): Jade is a translucent-to-opaque, massivestone with an oily luster. It occurs in several color varieties:shades of green, including a near-transparent bright greenand the rare spinach-green jade with golden glints; white,waxy-looking white jade; and the uncommon yellow, blue,red, black and lavender varieties. It has been carved intobeads, cabochons, pendants, vases, buttons, figurines, bottles,weapons, and a myriad of other forms, for it is hard anddense, and carves well. Promotes tranquility. A favorite ofAnimists and Herbalists.
Jet (10 sp/ounce): Glossy black, opaque and massive, jet isactually a very hard, dense, compacted form of coal. It isusually faceted, or simply polished, for beads and pendants;it is sometimes carved into figurines and other shapes.
Lapis Lazuli (1 sp/ounce): Lapis lazuli is a dense, opaque andmassive stone of a medium to deep blue color, sometimesflecked with golden specks. It is carved into cabochons, beadsor figurines, and is used in slabs for tables, boxes, etc., andfor inlay work.
Malachite (1 sp/ounce): This is an opaque massive stone,striated in bands of lighter and darker green. It is carvedinto beads, figurines, cabochons, and the like, and is alsosawn into slabs that are used as inlays or veneers.
Moonstone (5 sp/ounce): Moonstone is a white, translucent,massive stone that shows a distinctive white or blue-whiteplay of light, resembling moonlight; there are also greenish,gray, and even red-brown varieties. It is always carved intobeads, cabochons, and similar shallow, rounded forms tobring out this effect.
Moonstone [magical variety] (20 sp/ounce): As muchnovelties as talismans, moonstones are carved in flatcabochons, normally set in a hoop-shaped rim and wornaround the neck. They must then be aligned, either to Orhanor Charón. To align to Orhan, white wine is poured overthe stone, and it is left out on a cloudless night when Orhanis full. Thereafter, it will match the phases of Orhan. Toalign to Charón, the same process is employed, but usinganimal blood (it need not be human) instead of wine.Charón-aligned Moonstones will glow red on the Night ofthe Third Moon. Channeling
Obsidian (1 bp/ounce): This is a volcanic natural glass, opaqueto semi-opaque, that occurs in black, gray, and red-brownvarieties, as well as “snowflake obsidian,” which is black withwhitish specks. It is carved into figures and ornaments, andan obsidian blade can be flaked to a sharpness not attainableby any metal edge—exceeded only by the much stronger(and more expensive) laen. Channeling
Onyx (5 sp/ounce): Onyx is a porous and opaque form ofmassive quartz, occurring in black or white or a black-and-white layered variety. It is made into beads and cabochons;smooth-cut for signets and the like; and carved into bowlsand figurines.
Opal (10-20 sp/tal): This is a translucent, massive stone,usually pale blue-white but displaying an array of red, yellow,green, and violet highlights when light is reflected from itssurface. Many varieties exist; a mosaic of small colored areasof play is the mark of a “harlequin opal;” the near-transparency and a moonstone-like appearance distinguisha “water opal;” near-opacity, paleness and limited play ofcolor indicate the common “milky opal;” and there areseveral others (see black opal and fire opal). It is made intocabochons and other low, rounded shapes to best displaythe play of colors. It is a soft and somewhat brittle stone.Heated opals may lose part or all of their opalescent colorplay, and thus much of their beauty and value. Essence
Opal, Black (10-25 sp/tal): Black opal is that variety of opalin which the body color is smoke black, deep green, anddark blue, forming an almost opaque background in whichits opalescent color play is displayed. It otherwise has theproperties of the other forms of opal. Favored by the Dyari.Essence
Opal, Fire (10 sp/tal): This is an orange to orange-red form ofopal, ranging from transparent to transparent with mottledtranslucence. It does not always have the intricate color playof other opals; when play is present, the stone is morevaluable. If transparent, it is often faceted; usually it is madeinto cabochons otherwise. Essence. Frequently used in fire-related items.
Pearl (1-2 sp; pink, blue 2-5 sp; Black 5-10+ sp/tal): The pearlis the end product of layers of secretion with which certainmollusks surround bits of foreign matter in their shells. Whenthe secretion hardens, it takes on a unique luster whichoriginates in its dispersion of light just below its surface. Itoccurs in many shapes: round, teardrop, “button” (flat onone side), and the myriad irregular forms. As well as thetraditional “pearly white,” these stones come in less commoncolor varieties in a range from yellow and pale rose to therare, lustrous deep black. They are mounted in all sorts ofjewelry settings (mountings often use half-pearls), and, beingeasily drilled, are strung in various ways—by graduated sizesor in a uniform string; in single, multiple, or even braidedstrands. Fresh-water mollusks sometimes yield pearls, butthese are usually of much poorer quality than pearls from asalt-water mollusk. Pearls are quite vulnerable to acid, fire,and electrical attacks, to crushing blows, and other physicaltrauma. They may be damaged by sudden changes intemperature, and are alleged to deteriorate if left untouchedby human skin for great lengths of time, although sea waterwill supposedly negate any such deterioration. Mentalism.
Peridot (5 sp/tal): A transparent, crystalline stone, usually aclear yellow-green, although it can vary from near emerald-green to almost an olive green. The better stones are faceted;flawed or cloudy stones are polished for beads or made intocabochons, as are the occasional cat’s-eye peridots.
Piezoquartz † (1-20 gp/ounce): This special variety of quartzis usually clear or pale blue and has the ability to acquireand store powerful electrical charges. The Lords of Essæncewere no doubt the first to discover the properties of thesegems, but for them the limited power available made themmore of a novelty. The cultures who were truly able to exploitthese gems were the Taranians and the Jinteni ???, who builtvehicles and tools powered by piezoquartz jewels. With theexception of a rare variety of tourmaline, piezoquartz jewelswere usually fairly massive (8 oz—2 lbs) and faceted as
229

XVIspheres. These gems are extremely rare, but of course muchof their value is based on their power which few understandhow to tap.
Purple Sapphire (10 sp/tal): Purple Sapphire is a variety ofthe hard, transparent, crystalline mineral corundum with acolor closely resembling that of amethyst. It is normallyfaceted, except for the rare cat’s-eye and star forms.
Quartz: (1 sp/tal) This mineral is actually the most commonin the planet’s crust. Crystalline quartz is the more rare,transparent variety. Purple quartz is amethyst, yellow quartzis citrine. Mentalism. Cures mental illness, anxiety.
Rhodochrosite (1 sp/ounce): This is an opaque stone rangingin color from pale pink to medium red. It occurs mostly in amassive, banded form, and occasionally in single-coloredopaque crystals. It is made into beads, vases and the like. Itis a somewhat soft stone. Mentalism. Strengthens self-identity;used in defense against mental attacks.
Rose Quartz (1 sp/tal) Pinkish translucent quartz, can be madeinto beads or cabochons. Channeling. Inner peace, healthyskin. Used in some healing items.
Ruby (50 sp/tal): The ruby is a moderate-to-deep red,transparent variety of the hard crystalline mineral corundum(sapphire and jacinth are also corundum). The finest rubiesare absolutely clear and uniformly of that deep red colorcalled “pigeon’s blood;” lesser stones may vary from a palerred to a somewhat garnet-like red tinged with a purplish-brown. It is usually faceted, but cloudy specimens may bemade into cabochons, as may the rare cat’s-eye. Essence
Sapphire (10 sp/tal): This name is traditionally reserved forthe moderate-to-deep blue gem, one of the hardestsubstances in existence; “sapphire” is also sometimes usedto refer to other color varieties of corundum, such as the“orange sapphire” or jacinth. The sapphire is usually faceted,but there are the occasional cat’s-eye sapphires; see also blacksapphire. Among the color varieties of corundum that arenot given other names, and are therefore called “(color)sapphires,” are pinkish, chartreuse, clear/white, and brown;and each color of corundum occurs in cat’s-eye and star formsas well. Channeling
Sapphire, Black (50-70 sp/tal): The black sapphire is a blue-black form of the sapphire, so dark as to approachtranslucence. It is usually faceted. Dark Channeling
Sardonyx (5 sp/ounce): This is a form of massive quartzconsisting bands of the translucent to opaque “sard” (seecarnelian) and opaque white onyx. It is carved into beads,cabochons, figures, seals, and other shapes.
Topaz (5 sp/tal): Topaz is a transparent, crystalline stone,normally yellow to golden yellow-brown in color; colorless,pink, and blue varieties are also known. Because it cleaveseasily, it is often difficult to cut well; it is generally faceted,but cloudy specimens may be cut as cabochons or pendants.Essence
Tourmaline: (1 sp/tal): Greenish-black crystals often foundwith beryls. Some tourmalines have have the ability to bevery effective piezoelectrical capacitors, and are valuedbecause of their relatively small size-to-power ratio.
Turquoise (1 sp/ounce): Turquoise is a translucent-to-opaquemassive stone, blue to greenish blue in color; it frequentlyoccurs with brownish veining. The most valuable is sky-blue, translucent, and without veining; the least valuable(and most common) is green-blue, opaque and heavily-veined. It is usually cut into cabochons, or beads andpendants; large pieces may be cut into figurines, and pebblesof a size may be polished and strung together.
Zircon (5 bp/tal): This is a transparent, crystalline stone; inaddition to the usual pale blue-green and orange-red varieties(these two being the most valued), the stone also comes inbrownish-yellow, reddish-brown, green and purple varieties.It is brittle and difficult to cut, and is traditionally finishedas small faceted stones.
4•USEFUL/PRECIOUS METALSThe following rare metals are (with the exception
of metals used for money such as gold and silver) usu-ally traded as ingots weighing 4 oz, 8 oz, one pound,five pounds. Normally the buyers are smiths,metalcrafters, and jewellers, rather than the averageconsumer.
The more-or-less standard gold piece weight is one-half ounce; values below are listed in sp per ounce.Beryllium (30 sp): A pale grey metal, usually with a dull lustre,
it is used in jewelry and some weapons. It is favored by theLoari and found in Kuluku baws.
Braizium: (10 – 50 sp) A bronze-colored metal occurringnaturally in certain mountains near vulcanism and inunderground caverns. It requires high temperatures to work,but can be buffed to a bright shine and does not oxidize orotherwise corrode over time. This quality makes thesubstance ideal for structures exposed to the elements.Braizium does not hold an edge well, nor does it resist suddenstresses without cracking-thus it is not used to make weapons.
Bronze (.2 sp): An alloy of copper and tin, bronze is used forcoinage, tools and implements, and cast sculpture.
Gold (20 sp): Most precious of the ‘common’ metals, golddoes not corrode, and has a yellow luster which cannot bematched. Very soft in its pure state, it is usually alloyed withother metals; used for coinage, jewelry and decorative work.
Iridium (40 sp): Usually used in making alloys (often withplatinum), iridium is a white metal.
Platinum (40 sp): A hard, silvery-grey metal, platinum is usedfor coinage in some areas, but primarily used in jewelry. Itusually has a dull lustre.
Silver (2 sp): A gleaming, pale grey metal used for coinageand jewelry, it has the disadvantage of corroding whenexposed to air. Very malleable, it is usually alloyed.
Titanium (50 sp): A rare element used mainly to makeexceptionally hard steel alloys.
SPECIAL WEAPON ALLOYSThese correspond (roughly) to alloys described in
Rolemaster. The number in brackets is the intrinsicbonus given to a blade fashioned of this material be-cause of its hardness and ability to hold an edge. Thebreakage factor is in addition to the weapon’s baseBF.Steel (Low Steel) [+5]: A non-magical alloy of iron and
carbon.High Steel [+10]: A non-magical alloy of iron, carbon and
other elements. Does not rust; BF +30.Tethium (White Alloy) [+15]: Developed by Tethior, a non-
magical alloy of iron, carbon, zinc and titanium. Pale greywith a soft sheen, it does not corrode; BF +50.
Krelin (Black Alloy) [+20]: Developed by Krelij, a non-magical alloy of iron, carbon, and other materials. It has adark grey appearance and a dull luster; BF +50.
Enclatine (Enchanted Iron) [+5]: Magically infused iron; BF+50.

XVIQuevite (Enchanted Steel I) [+10]: Magically infused steel
of lesser quality; BF +100.Tayn (Enchanted Steel II) [+15]: Magically infused high-
quality steel; BF +150.Keron [+20]: A black alloy; BF +200.Laen (True Glass [+25]: Enchanted glass of superior hardness.
Becomes soft only in extreme cold; hardens with heat. Theedge is as sharp as a sliver of normal glass but laen possessesa superior tensile strength; BF +200. (When it does break itshatters into a spray of deadly shards).
Eog (enchanted True Steel) [+30]: An alloy including therare material eog; BF +300.
MAGICAL MATERIALS & ALLOYSThe description of these inherently magical ma-
terials is provided more for general information thanfor trade purposes. It is unlikely that PCs will electto become miners or traders in magical ores. Rarelywill they encounter these items in ingot form, butfor reference their value in silver per ounce of re-fined material is given.Arinyark (200 sp): A metallic element which absorbs and
retains raw Essence radiations. Working like a battery orcapacitor, it constantly absorbs ambient Essence and can be‘tapped’ like a Flow of Essence and thus utilized. It does notwork in the same manner as a Spell Adder, however, andcannot store specific spells. It is bluish-green and can bepolished to a dull luster. The absorptive qualities can be aneffective defense as well: a full suit of armor with Arinyarklamination will add 50 to the wearer’s RR (or subtract 50from an elemental spell attack roll).
Electrium: (10,000 sp)This alloy is made by mixing gold,silver, and iron at high temperatures while flooding themolten metals with Essænce. The resulting alloy is malleableand ductile with a color similar to electrum (gold and silvermixed without the iron and the Essænce treatment). Spellsfrom all three realms of magic can be embedded more easilyinto electrium than most other materials. (Imbed I can becast as a I st level spell, Imbed 11 as a 2nd level spell, ImbedIII as 3rd level, etc.)
Essicrysta: (10,000 sp – priceless) The ancient Lords ofEssænce alone knew the secrets of making essicrysta. Andonly a few individuals living in the Third Era are able to useremnants of the material forged in the past to make newitems of their own devising. Essicrysta is a clear, crystallinesubstance that glows faintly and is always warm to the touch.Detect Life spells register pieces of it as living, and Presencespells report such as beings with presences! Essicrysta canconvert Essænce (as power points) into mass, or mass intoEssænce (which it then stores) when connected magicallyto the proper control device. It is a key component to theircronagenic suspended animation devices.
Eog [Black] (5000 sp): Can inhibit or even nullify all non-Dark Essence in the same way White Eog inhibits EvilEssence. For general properties see Grey Eog, below.
Eog [Grey or ‘common’] (2000 sp): An extremely hard metal,it is brittle in its pure form, but when combined with certainother elements the resulting alloy can be used to makesuperior weapons and armor. It is enchanted, and ‘common’Eog has a dull silvery luster. An addition, certain pure typesof Eog have the power to locally inhibit the Flows of Essence(see black and white types).
Eog [White] (5000 sp): Can limit the powers of Dark Essence(e.g., Essence originating from the Unlife or dark gods ortheir minions). Eog’s inhibiting power varies with the
amount and proximity, but a small chamber lined with WhiteEog panels 1˝ thick would prevent all but the most powerfulEvil magicians from casting a spell. Note that, while aMagician inside this chamber would have trouble castingspells, his Power Points are not actually drained.
Ithloss (up to 2000 sp; but cannot be worked by any knownmeans, so few are interested buyers): A strong but light andsomewhat flexible metal, it is an enchanted alloy createdby the Lords of Essence, the secret to which has been lost.Armor made of this material is of almost unequalled valuebecause of the superior protective properties and itsunencumbering lightness. Ithloss armor also provides thewearer a +20 DB versus Elemental spell attacks. Inappearance it is a light golden color.
Keron (200 sp): A black, very shiny alloy. The substance isstrong but flexible and holds a keen edge. When polished ithas such a high luster that it looks wet or oiled. It does notcorrode, and should be treated as enchanted.
Kregora (20,000 sp): An extremely rare, golden alloy, Kregorais by far the most powerful of the anti-Essence materials.Even powerful magical items are temporarily rendereddormant when surrounded by a Kregora-lined receptacle.Kregora’s damping qualities are equally effective against allrealms of Essænce (i.e., Essence, Mentalism andChanneling). Unlike Eog, Kregora will sap a spell user’sPower Points, the rate of drain corresponding to the amountof Kregora. Fortunately for spell users, Kregora is rare beyonddescription and costly (almost) beyond price.
Laen (1000-10,000 sp): An extremely hard volcanic glasswhich can be forged into very keen-edged, almostindestructible, weapons. Laen can also be tinted, and (varyrarely) is naturally colored. It should be consideredenchanted. Laen is also very unusual in that it becomes morepliable as its temperature is lowered. Because of this, unique,magical cold forges must be used to work laen into tools andweapons.
Rularon (1000 sp): A metal, dull silver in color, which insufficient quantities has the ability to inhibit spells ofMentalism. A full helm plated with Rularon, for instance,would most likely completely protect the wearer from mentalattacks (and prevent him from casting any Mentalism spellsor having any sort of mental contact with anyone). It is avery soft and malleable material, and of course, enchanted.
Shaalk (100 sp): An enchanted material, very lightweight,pliable and resilient. Thinner sheets resemble the finestwhite paper but are glossier and almost indestructible. Whenexposed to extreme heat it melts, but normal fires do notharm it. Shaalk lockpicks and similar tools can have a +20bonus.
Star Iron (up to 5000 sp; but cannot be worked by any knownmeans, so few are interested buyers): Actually an alloy forgedusing metal gathered from certain meteorites. It is extremelystrong once worked, and invariably has a dull, dark greyappearance. The recipe has been lost with the First Era. StarIron is believed to have other, more arcane powers, but thenature of these is uncertain.
Taurith: (5000 sp) This is a is a silver-blue metal found neardeposits of arinyark. Although it behaves like most metals,molten at high temperatures and solid at cool ones, it losessome its most valuable properties permanently whensoftened or melted by heat. These characteristics include:the strength to withstand extreme torque without bendingor cracking, the molecular structure permitting it to takeand retain a very sharp cutting edge, and the extreme easewith which it can be embedded with Essence spells (notMentalism or Channeling; see electrium). Therefore, taurith

XVIis usually worked cold-a proceeding requiring considerableskill on the part of the alchemist. Taurith marred by heatingcan be detected by its lack of surface sheen; it cannot bepolished to a high gloss.
Trystrium: (5000 sp) A metal, greenish silver in color, usuallyfound in small nodules (1/4˝ to 1˝ diameter) among the rootsof irnwood trees. Trystrium is a strong, flexible substanceand holds a keen edge (only laen, eog or taurith surpasses itssharpness). Additionally, it can be embedded withChanneling spells or runes with particular ease. Only thedifficulty experienced in collecting a sufficient quantitymakes it little used.
Vaanum (10,000 sp): A strange, extremely rare silver-whitemetal which is believed to exist only on Charón. Bladesmade of the material have a keen edge, and have the strangeinnate property of being Of Slaying any living creature theydeliver a critical to. This perilous feature is believed to bedue to the alien nature of the material, and the malevolentorigins of Charón.
Xenium (1000 sp): Blue-silver in hue, this alloy is createdfrom titanium, arinyark and other—more dangerous—materials, which together nullify the force of gravity. It isused primarily on the undersides of skyships. The exactmanner in which this is accomplished, and how Xenium issuccessfully employed to balance a ship’s mass against gravity,are factors which are extremely difficult to calculate. Theprice given is the ‘street’ value; obviously the alchemistswho created Eidolon and who make the skyships were ableto make such vast quantities that the relative cost wasconsiderably less.
1•LANGUAGESFollowing is a listing of some the languages of
Kulthea, with an emphasis on Emerian and Jaimanitongues.
LIVING TONGUESArlak: The language of the amazon people of Sarnak;it is remotely derived from Old Emer.Chíra: The chirping tongue of the avian speciesHírazi.Danari: Spoken by the people of Danarchis, it is re-lated to Old Emer, and the closest living tongue tothat ancient language.Dyar: (Dark Elvish) Originally a dialect of HighElvish, this tongue has changed over the years andnow has only limited resemblances to its parent lan-guage.Erlin: (‘Speech of the Forest’; Wood Elvish) Whilenot as ethereal as Iylar, the Erlin language has a mu-sical quality. It is more accessible to mortal tongues,and is often a ‘common’ language between cultures.There are many dialects, including Muri-Erlin,Jaimani-Erlin, and others.Itanian: Actually a dialect of Old Emer, this languageis very similar to the ancient tongue, but has a largevocabulary of its own.Iylar: (High Elvish) High Elvish is a beautiful andancient tongue, lyrical and mystical, used primarilyby the Linæri for poetry and song. Men cannot speakit properly.
Kuluk: The ‘personal’ language of the Kuluku, a gut-tural tongue with varied inflections and highly de-pendent of facial expression.Kayvis: Language of the Ky'taari of the Mur Fostisyr.Loariki: written and spoken language of the Loari.A very old tongue, it is rarely taught to anyone out-side their race or even spoken even in the presenceof others. It has an extensive vocabulary which al-lows great precision — perfect for histories and tech-nical texts. It is often used by Loari scribes.Lugro: The language of the evil Lugrôki warrior-race.Mavaun: A tongue shared by the Lankan andPochanti peoples —though each has a very differentdialect. While no Lankan would admit it, Mavaun isactually the invention of the Pochanti and wasadopted by the Lankani as knowledge of the morecomplex Thanorian was lost. The written languageis heiroglyphic and known only by the aristocracyand priesthood in Lankanok.Miir: The language of the Miirian states; descendedfrom Old Emer.Muri-Elven: a dialect of pure Erlin, it is spoken inKelestia and NE Eme —including the isles of VogMur and by some in Sel-kai. The vocabulary andwritten forms are very similar, but the spoken ver-sion can vary considerablyRhaya: (‘The Tongue’) The predominant languageof Jaiman, though there are seven very distinct dia-lects.Shay: The ‘common’ tongue of Emer, it has manydialects.Shulur: (Aquatic Elvish)† A sonar-like language ofhigh-pitched sounds; no other race can speak thistongue except mer-people and dolphins.Syrkan: Language of the Syrkakar of NW Jaiman; itis derived from Haidic and Umli roots but has itsown unique characterT’loc-loc: the unique clucking tongue of the peoplebearing the same name located in Silaar, it is noth-ing like any other language in Emer.Taal: The tongue of the Talath of NW Emer, it iscomplex and beautiful—and similar to the languageof the Myri of Jaiman.Trolack: What you might expect. It is rather limitedin vocabulary and sophistication.Uluka: A singsong, birdlike tongue the Kuluku usefor long-distance signalling.
DEAD TONGUES
GM Note: the learning opportunities for theselanguages would be very limited.
Enris-Sokal: While technically dead, it is very muchalive on the Loremaster island of Karilôn and in thehalls of the Nomikos Library and other scholarly in-stitutions (many very old tomes are written in Enris-Sokal). Originally the language of the Terinians (anintellectual Elven society in southern Palia duringthe early Second Era, not to be confused with the
232
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: APPENDIX B
MASTER ATLAS
XVITaranians), it was carried across the seas by studentsof history who studied there. It is a very concisetongue (both written and spoken) with a large vo-cabulary and complex structure. Learning it is diffi-cult (assuming you can even find a teacher).Iruaric: The language of the Lords of Essence. In its‘true’ form, it was partially telepathic and powerful.It can be learned in an innocuous form by other races.Because true Iruaric is related to the Primal Essænce,the extent of its true power can only be guessed at.Kugor: Language of the Dragonlords (and othermighty drakes); not commonly spoken or even knownof by most peoples. It was used in many ancient texts,however. Interestingly, it has similarities to Uscuracand Xytos.Old Emer: From c. TE 1200 to c. 1800 the entirecontinent of Emer was united under one Emperorand enjoyed a renaissance of culture. The peoplespoke one language (called Emerian at the time).Now little is left of this civilization except ruins anda handful of isolated kingdoms, whose people speakvarying corruptions (most unrecognizable) of OldEmerian. Old Emer was brought to the continent bythe People of Aldraon (the first Emperor and is un-related to Shay, the current common tongue.
MAGICAL TONGUESMany of these are languages known as part of the
process of becoming a spell-user, and utilized as partof learning and casting spells. Others are more ar-cane (and dangerous).
GM Note: the learning opportunities for theselanguages would be very limited, and in some caseswould be prohibited unless the student was of thecorrect profession. The GM may wish to consultRolemaster Companion I pp 2-4 for hints on the useof magical languages.
Aludos:* The language of enruning (Essence).Enruth:† Tongue of plants and growing things; alsoof repelling Undead (Channeling).Krônyt:* The language of Symbols and Glyphs(Channeling).Kuskarûk: An arcane language utilized almost en-tirely by Dark Magicians and Sorcerers (used in thesummoning of Demons).Logos:† (‘The Word’) The tongue of word-thoughts(Mentalism).Sylmaria: Speech of the Flows. Almost musical innature, it allows control of the Flows of Essænce. Thislanguage is very difficult to learn. Its teaching isclosely guarded by Loremasters and Navigators.Uscurac: “Common” Language of the Essence, usedby Mages and Sorcerers in their spells.
Var Arnak: Language of the High Priests of the Unlife.A word in Var Arnak can kill.
Xytos:† Language of Power-words (Essænce).

Note: plurals of indigenouswords tend to be formed bythe addition of a secondvowel after the last vowel inthe singular word; usually itis an i. Lone u’s are mostoften indicative of asingular. Compound wordssuch as breakwater orwaterfall are commonlyseparated by dashes, withany ending vowels droppedin both component words.The language has fourdistinct secondary vowels: a,e, i, and y, and one primary:u.One further note: the termarc. that follows certainwords is an abbreviation for‘archaic’, and it indicatesthe older and less commonterm for a presently-usedword. More powerful oreducated folk tend to usethe older forms in everydayspeech.

Notes: Some forms utilizethe apostrophetic syllablebreaks, while later formssmoothed the words forhuman tongues. Someleeway is necessary tointerpret the Iruaric tocommon references. Forinstance, the names of theElvish races are actuallysimplistic references to theirstereotypical aptitudes orappearance. The High Elvesare known as Iylari orliterally ‘beauties’, becauseof their looks. Sometimesan ‘r’ is added before thepluralizing ‘i’; this isbelieved to be an indicationof increase; instead of morethan one, it indicates manymore — often applied to arace of beings.
KY'TAARIThe language of the Ky'taariis soft and lyrical, with manywhisperings like the soundof wind through the pines.Overall, the tongue is veryonomatopoetic, the wordsimitating the things theydescribe.English to Ky'taariale kelarmor chakaarrow Jakbirth kariiinblack norblade ashaanblanket falithblind omokblizzard kronofblood thunblue lunboat farynbook tanaarbow trin

A few notes on pronuncia-tion:
“A” at the beginning of anyword is said ‘ay’. Forexample, the Ky'taari wordfor pain is pronounced“aynka”. A double “a” is saidin the same manner, with aslight break to accent it.‘Lord’is said ta-arn (thebreak is very subtle andshould not sound likegagging).
“Y”, when beginning a wordor flanked by consonants, isalways said like ‘eye.’ Theword for town is said teyeka.When next to an “n”however, it is a soft ‘ya’sound. ‘Boat’ in Ky'taari ispronounced far-yin.
“0” and “I” are said short asin bomb and tin.
“U” is always pronounced inthe long form. The word fordark is said koor.
To pluralize a noun, theletter “i” is used as a suffix;hence lamp (kaalin)becomes lamps (kaalini,pronounced ka’alinee).
