Pyralite is an ore with unique arcane properties: it absorbs magic, preventing mages from extracting it. In its raw state, it is dangerously unstable and may explode at the slightest shock or sudden change in temperature.
This volatility makes its extraction arduous and perilous—so much so that only the desperate, or slaves, are ever forced to attempt it.
Its hues range from pale yellow to a golden sheen. The closer it is to true gold, the stronger its capacity to absorb magic, and the more coveted it becomes. Yet few risk delving into its veins.
Once refined and stabilized through alchemical processes, Pyralite becomes manageable and can be forged into powerful weapons and artifacts. The only known mine lies in the heart of the Farka region, within the kingdom of Fenos, on the lands of the Marquis of Sinevergo. Nestled between steep mountains and guarded with utmost vigilance, it remains a fiercely protected secret.
