Warp Stone
A giant comet hurtles down to the earth. In the comet are darkened crystals that radiate a faint green aura. It slowly disintegrates as it enters the atmosphere of Toril, breaking down into smaller and smaller parts, but as it finally crashes into the world, that aura still remains. That black stone with the green aura. Warp stone.
Slowly the world around the warp stone changes. Animals grow extra arms, quickly forming vestigial parts, and changing the very way it acts. Generations of humanoids grow mutations due to being in a close proximity of this material. When someone wanders into the crater that has been created by the shrunken comet, they feel exhausted and sickly. They return home where they start to form hideous mutations, until one day, they transform into an amalgamation of constant mutation. They are now a chaos spawn, a raging beast of change.
Properties
Material Characteristics
Warpstone is a jagged black crystal. It gives off a faint green aura that seems to warp reality itself around it.
Physical & Chemical Properties
Warpstone is a sturdy crystalline substance. It is rather sturdy in large quantities, but smaller amounts can be brittle and easily broken off.
Compounds
High ranking Dreus Titan engineers have found a way to melt down the material in order to warp the properties of Armor and Destguard weapons.
Geology & Geography
Can be found in The Wood of Sharp Teeth, the north, and other specific places along the Sword Coast.
Origin & Source
This crystal can only be found in the remnants of a comet that has fallen to the world. Due to this, many intellectuals believe this material seems to not be native to the world of Toril, and it could possibly be found on another celestial body in space, or it may even originate from another plane of existence.
Life & Expiration
As of now, it is unknown how long it takes for warp stone to deteriorate. However, it seems constant use of the energies of raw warpstone does cause it to deteriorate as evidenced by the cores of Ishtari and Titan constructs.
History & Usage
History
According to Titan historical records, they are the first to have come into contact with warp stone. They claim that it fell from the sky in their homeland more than 1,000 years ago. Later, the Ishtari tribe in the Wood of Sharp Teeth came into contact with it in the middle of their woods. The Titans somehow gained this knowledge and came for it, sparking a war. This war defined the Ishtari as the defenders of the wood and the Titans as the followers of Dreus.
