Highwind
Highwind is the Erozorona equivalent to hydrogen in the real world. It is a lighter than air gas used for transportation and some experimental weapons, mainly for airship and hot air balloon travel. Highwind was illegal for quite sometime before the revolution, stunting the development of technologies using highwind as their active component. Highwind is very flammable, so use in airships and general experimentation is a very dangerous task.

Distribution
Trade & Market
Wizards who have access to the "shocking grasp" spell use their magic to create liquid highwind for purchase. Since they have cornered the market, they are able to make the price whatever they want.
Storage
Highwind requires a pressurized tank for storing gas.
Law & Regulation
When The Capital ruled The Outlands, highwind was illegal because it gave citizens the capacity to escape The Outlands through the use of flight technology. Since the revolution, highwind has been used for public and private transportation of goods and people across The Outlands.
