Draft:Call of the Tenebrae:Irenite
Irenite is a rear mineral found only in some remote locations of Antaloor. It has been introduced in Call of the Tenebrae.
Usage
Irenite can be used differently, depending on the size of the fragment. When smashed into dust, It can be used in potions as alchemy ingredient; bigger shards can augment weaponry. Also, unique weaponry made only of irenite exists, and it needs shards of a specific size as its own upgrade material.
Locations
One of the first irenite mines known to exist was the one on the island Tebris where the Tenebraee used slaves to obtain the crystals, used later as power source for their machines (like golems). The presence of the mineral on the island was one of the reasons why Sixth Temple was settled there; it's seized any operations as the Order (and so the Temple) was destroyed.
Tebris mine was re-opened ages later, when the kingdom of Ascalia re-populated the island and established its own colony there, as the settlement of Dorchad was founded. This new mine was a part of Vanderbilt Consortium, it's owner being Ebenezer Vanderbilt. It's one of the side quests locations in the Call of the Tenebrae
There are other irenite mines in different regions of Antaloor. One of them was introduced in Echoes of the Dark Past.
