[QUOTE="RoughCoronet0, post: 8351400, member: 7031665"] In connection to my lore of Asgorath/Io melding into one of my world's continents, there are three incredibly rare and powerful materials that are said to be from the late dragon creator. One is Asgorite, an organic metal that can be found in small deposits throughout Salvera, though it is most commonly found on the dragon continent of Thaczil. Asgorite is bone white in coloration, and is very durable despite it's light weight. It is also brimming with magical potential, and when stuck it lets out at deep, guttural hum that seems to reverberate within the very core of one's being. This rare metal can be crafted to create legendary armors and weapons, constructs of unimaginable power and some of the world's most potent and famous artifact and historical relics were crafted from this organic material. The second material is known as a World Shaper Scale, which can sometimes be found scattered across the plane of Salvera, though they are found on Thaczil most readily. These super tough scales can be of varying sizes and shapes, from small rounded scales measuring 3 feet in diameter to large rectangular scales (like those on the belly of a dragon or snake) 20 ft in length and 6 ft in height (just to give a couple of examples). Regardless of their size and shape, these scales all seem to have the unique effect of being able to reflect a brilliant, iridescent display of every color of dragon scale every conceived all at once, and maybe even some never seen by mortal eyes. These scales are highly resistant to the elements and yet very flexible and light, and hold a great deal of magic within them. These scales can be fashioned to make legendary armors as well as magical cloaks, bracers, boots and other clothing. These scales are also used to create powerful, artifact level tomes, and when ground up can be added to other materials to enhance there own properties further. The third material is known as Ninefold Dragonshards, which similarly to Asgorite and the World Shaper Scales can be found scatter throughout Salvera with higher concentrations existing on Thaczil. These crystals shards come in a variety of sizes and hues, though these shards are commonly separated into six different categories. The first four categories of Dragonshards are Psionic, Arcane, Divine, and Primal Shards, each representing the four types of magical energies on Salvera which are depicted as Violet, Blood Red, Radiant Yellow, and Forest Green respectively.
