Bluestone
Bluestone is a rare mineral that can only be found deep beneath the abandoned Dwarven Hold of Karak Loden in the Land of Giants. It is a crystalline mineral that has a strikingly beautiful, deep blue color that glimmers in the light. Bluestone is prized for its rarity, durability, and enchantment properties.
On its own, Bluestone has no particular use except for being a rare and valuable collectible. However, when combined with iron or titanium, it enhances the strength, durability, and enchantment properties of those metals. The resulting metal is far more resilient to damage and can hold enchantments better than the same metals without Bluestone. The combination of Bluestone and iron or titanium is often used to create weapons and armor that are nearly indestructible and are able to retain their enchantments even after extensive use.
Bluestone does not have any effects when combined with other metals. It is only when it is combined with iron or titanium that it enhances their properties. Due to its rarity and the difficulty in obtaining it, Bluestone is highly valued by craftsmen, artisans, and enchanters alike, making it one of the most sought-after materials in the known world.
History & Usage
Discovery
According to legend, bluestone was discovered by a group of Dwarven miners who were excavating the mines beneath Karak Loden. As they dug deeper into the earth, they stumbled upon a vein of a mysterious blue mineral that they had never seen before. At first, they didn't know what to make of it, but as they began to test and analyze the mineral, they realized that they had found something truly remarkable.
Refinement
Bluestone is refined from its crystalline state through a process known only to the dwarves of Karak Loden, who have kept the secret closely guarded. The process involves heating the raw bluestone crystals to a specific temperature and then cooling them rapidly in a process known as quenching. The result is a refined bluestone that is more durable and has a deeper blue color.
The reason why the dwarves of Karak Loden developed this refining process is because raw bluestone is too brittle and fragile to be used in crafting weapons and armor. By refining bluestone, it becomes much more durable and practical for use in the crafting of weapons, tools, and other items.
Legend has it that the refining process was discovered by accident when a dwarven miner stumbled upon a vein of bluestone while excavating the mines beneath Karak Loden. He brought the raw bluestone to the surface to show his fellow dwarves, but it was too brittle to be of any use. One of the dwarves accidentally dropped a piece of bluestone into the forge fire, and when he retrieved it, he noticed that it had changed to a deeper blue color and was more durable. The dwarves experimented with the process until they perfected the technique, and it has been closely guarded by the dwarves ever since.
