Astrum Saxi
A unique mineral found in the Eastern Middle Ground mountains, farmed by the Sverige kingdom and used by royalty and rich for special potions, magic, and ceremonies.
The mineral is pale blue and lilac in color with an iridescent glow in the center and naturally form a hexagon shape, and formations of it can be found off the north-eastern coast The Island of Tod. Astrum is highly sought after for its potency, when cleansed and used correctly it can maintain a great amount of energy within its center. This makes potions and tonics that include Astrum very powerful; of course, this was only discovered after an unknown person captured a shockwave within a pebble of Astrum and carried it on their person, not knowing it captured stray energy and held it in until years later.
Divinty
Astrum Saxi is a major component in divine ceremonies, and are often embedded in the jewels and clothes of divine figures such as those of the Paragons of Virtue. The official robes of Paragons always include fanciful decorations, laces or gold and many jewels where little cuts of Astrum are placed. But it is not just the divine and religious who make use of the mineral and its beauty, kingdom rulers in Auferetu have created a new fashion that heavily involves the gem. Gaudy crowns and large collars, designer daggers, and staves with every inch outfitted in the gem have become a regular sight among the high-circle. This lack of respect for the mineral as well as it's founding location is a key issue that caused the still ongoing war between Auferetu and Veritas for control over Middle Ground.
