Ghoul Citrine

It is a beautiful yellow-orange rock, usually found in the Domiron mountains and mined by the local communities, miners are called ghouls because they come out covered in yellowish dust and smelling foul whenever there is an incident of inexperienced miner hitting wrong vein too hard.

The most precious stone they can find in those mines is called Ghoul Citrine, it gets its name from a fiery-orange colour and foul-smelling dust when crushed.

The stone is extremely sought after because of its rarity and the deterring properties. Highborn ladies love to wear them because bodyguards are not always that close and sometimes you might need a way to get rid of a pesky and importunate person.

Master craftsmen do not like working with these stones, but the payout makes it worth. It is always a commission work for some rich noble, which not only results in a guaranteed payment, but also recommendation and protection if the work is splendid.

There are many crafting guilds specializing in handling the Ghoul Citrines and twice as many ruins covered in the residue after incidents.

The Sulphur Grinders are the world-renown craftsmen that are extremely skilled in handling Ghoul Citrines.

They got orders from all-around the world and each is delivered in a special casing, so it is not damaged during travel.

The cost of small ring reaches 1000 gold pieces and the most elaborate designs raise the price up to 100 000 gold pieces, that only highest royalty can afford.

One might think that one-time use items should not be so expensive, but each of them comes with a lifetime free replacement when the previous gemstone is used.

But such guarantees come only from Sulphur Grinders, they are reliable in this unreliable and often discomforting world, but it gets better with a Ghoul Citrine.
