Starshard Crystal

Starshard Crystal
  Sourcing: Found only in meteorite craters during rare celestial alignments. Appearance: Iridescent, prism-like shards that shimmer with starry light. Use: Powers ancient artifacts or celestial navigation spells. Trade Route: Starshard crystals are sourced from remote meteorite craters, often in desolate regions or mountaintops. The most famous trade route is the “Celestial Circuit,” a perilous path that crosses treacherous terrain and is monitored by guilds specializing in magical ore. Interested Buyers: Alchemists, astronomers, and artificers prize Starshard Crystals for their ability to amplify spells and enchantments tied to the cosmos. Nobles and monarchs also seek them for decorative purposes or as symbols of divine favor. Transportation Considerations: These crystals are fragile and resonate with ambient magic, making them prone to shattering if exposed to sudden energy surges. They must be transported in padded, magically dampened containers. Additionally, bandits and magical beasts are drawn to their faint, celestial glow, so armed guards are essential for caravans.
