Laen

Laen (“Long Thread” or “True Glass”) The name refers to the incredibly strong crystal lattice structure, allowing for the incredible strength of the material. Of course, this does not explain the bizarre property of laen; it gains strength and rigidity with heat. Only by chilling to temperatures beyond cold can it be softened, and then it is sculpted and molded to the desired form. Natural laen is black or smokey, but it can be cleared with treatments and tinted any number of transparent colors. Often called True Glass, Laen is a volcanic glass that is found only rarely in nature. As a gemstone, it has brilliance beyond all other gems. It gives a material bonus of +25 and a strength bonus of +40.
