MYTHALLAR

Pre Era Artifact

Forgotten Realms

A Mythallar was a @NETHERESE device that allowed access to vast amounts of raw magic.
This magical device looked much like a crystal ball but was about 150 feet in diameter. The globe shed a very bright light—similar to the disc of the sun—with dimmer shadows and shapes moving across its surface. An ornate stand kept the perfectly spherical device in place.
Created by Ioulaum, the arch wizard of Netheril the mythallars allowed arcanists to create quasimagical items without draining their lifeforce. This allowed for a rising trade with the middle class. The first large scale application, the floating city, appeared - Ioulaum's Enclave, named Xinlenal.
