Adra

An organic material crystalline in structure but shell-like in substance, adra can be found growing up through the ground in veins in many parts of Gargantua in massive pillars. Adra pillars are believed to be interconnected into a single giant network that reaches deep beneath the surface of Gargantua, but this has never been conclusively proven due to the lack of necessary technology. Adra is particularly abundant around Ondra's Teeth.

History & Usage

Everyday use

Adra is overall very easy to carve and manipulate, it is a favorite of jewelers as a semiprecious stone, and is often cut more intricately and beautifully than other gems. However, its true potential lies in its unique properties tied to the soul. The material acts as a conduit for souls, both capable of storing and transporting them over vast distances. With the right technology, adra can be used to even manipulate souls, from transferring them to animals and constructs to redirecting, binding, and even destroying them on a vast scale.
In modern times, Adra remains a popular choice among craftsmen for its malleability and among animancy practicioners for its soul-related properties. Elven even use adra bordered with copper as a unique form of currency, called adra eniach. However, the real potential of adra can only be unlocked through the use of Luminous Adra, an unique form found only around Ondra's Teeth.
