Eldsneyti

Eldsneyti (El.Des.Ney.Ti.), a special type of purple crystal mined commercially for fuel and jewelry. Commonly found in the Umbra Valley, Adescheid is the main exporter of the crystal and manufacturer of fuel and jewelry for Memoria.
Although commercially mined, Eldsneyti needs to be handled carefully as the direct contact on the crystal will cause unusual infection which mutates a person into a monster or encased them into the crystal and melts into a dark void. Since Lycan is the main labour of the operation, they are required to wear a special type of gloves that nulls the effects of the crystal
Eldsneyti will constantly grow even at the same spot it was mined. So far, there is no sign of exhaustion of the source. A high-quality Eldsneyti can be made if the boiling point of the crystal reaches 500-degree Celcius.

History & Usage

History

Initially used as fuel, Eldsneyti is fairly common and has a longer span of use which is then distributed throughout Memoria once there is a surplus of it. 
However, the Vampyres then came up with the idea of using the crystals as jewelry and soon began exporting the goods to other kingdoms.

Discovery

Founded by the Vampyres, Eldsneyti was mined and used as fuel to power up machinery, vehicles, and electricity in Adescheid. When the Lycans came to the city, the crystals are then distributed amongst the factions.

Hazards

Upon touch, a person will either instantly mutate into a monster or encased inside the crystal until they are melted into the dark void. Other cases such as when the crystal is dropped, may cause an explosion or releases a terrible miasma that causes faint.
