Ædian marvels: Siâp hylif
It could not be claimed by ones eyes, and yet veiled the black stone statue with a mix of might and fear.Considering Tæn-ĭ-Sáveni, Aš-Šúrúkh
Appearance
Siâp hylif feels as more of a charm than a physical material, approachable by hands and eyes. The nature of it resembles liquid, sharing its ability to adjust to each and every vessel. The properties on the physical plane are in the eye of the beholder and depend strongly on the intention of the Weaver of Form, who gives it the final form.
While the Weaver braids his intentions, the overall shape remains culturally dependent. The given vibe interacts directly and individually with each and every observer. A classic example is the monument of Death by the Eight Crossroads Square in Tæn — the capital of Sáveni. It portraits a young woman daydreaming by two bouquets: conifer branch-based and leaf-based, referencing the Tree of Void.
For Tæn, death typically feels closer to the transiton of ones form, whereas for Aškari it would be of might and fear.
Origin
The first historical note on Siâp hylif dates back 1,200 years, where a shapeshifting field of icy flowers were perceived north to Tanitris. However it was not until the last 200-300 years that it became fully accessible to each and every Weaver of Form. Its use before that time is only speculated as this craft was a guarded secret by the @Artisans.
Appearance in artwork: A flower shaped seed, with a water droplet center and delicate roots of clear ice.
Limitation:Can only be accessed directly from the plane of Ædeos and formed by one of the Thirteen Artisans (The Gathering), specifically by the Weaver of Form.
What an interesting material. I love that it's from a specific plane and is not a physical material in the traditional sense.
Thanks! There are some more planned to spice things up, but some mid-plane and strictly physical. ;)
