Celerite

"Only the pure of heart can work with Celerite. It's hard to find a mortal creature who can do it, and even rarer to find an angel as well due to their duties. There are some who can fool the material but that is a once in a lifetimes chance. And not a humans life time but an elven lifetime."
~ Unknown Craftsman

History & Usage

Everyday use

Celerite is utilized commonly in the outer planes of the multiverse to protect structures from creatures of decay. In outer planes aligned with the powers of good craft the celerite into weapons and give them to mortals and benevolent creatures alike that wage war against the undead and creatures of decay.

Hazards

Celerite can be dangerous to creatures that are undead by nature. In addition, if the individual is suffering from a disease that causes necrosis the diseased flesh starts to turn to ash casuing immense pain.

Environmental Impact

Celerite doesn't affect the environment at first, but once the surrounding foliage or creatures start to die and decay the celerite will turn them to ash in an instant. This causes scavangers to either mirgate or starve. Foliage starts to die off due to the break in the natural cycle of life and death that feeds the land.

Distribution

Trade & Market

Celerite is traded in Sigil as an exotic material by esoteric merchants. It's uncommon for it to be bought due to Sigil being a completely neutral territory so there was no need to protect themselves against undead creatures.
