The White Stone

'''“It is a miracle, like nothing I have ever seen. You’re onto something here, I can tell you that much. . . Furia?”'''

The White Stone of Nueva Libertad is the stone which can be seen in most areas of the Rivaini city. Be it in el lugar de todas las personas or that which the white hall is made from, this magnificent looking resource is a great mystery, and undoubtedly a key to the success that the elf known as Furia has enjoyed in leading his bloody rebellion against the Chantry and Templar Order.

= To have born witness =

Of the splendours within this great statement of liberty known as Nueva Libertad there is little doubt that the most striking is that which is known only as the White Stone. Upon viewing it would seem like chalk, though that is a trick of it; another trick is discovered upon touching it – no marble known to man behaves like this, and yet the feel of it can hardly be discernible from that which lines corridors of power and wealth. It is not marble, but damn well feels like it.

Pardon my language, for the magi have a modern miracle on their hands here and it continues to fascinate me with each passing day. I don’t know what magic they have at their hands to do what they do with this stone, but it could be revolutionary.

= Discovered and known =

On a day full of light you could be forgiven for assuming that the brightness of the rock is a result of the weather and nothing else. However, when the same brightness exists on a day of torrential rain and dark clouds the idea that the light does not come from the rock itself quickly loses any weight. There is magic in the stone, which makes it perfect for use in Nueva Libertad.

Literally. Magic.

A limited number of magi who live in the city manipulate it. The closest they have come to defining it would be to say that within the stone are veins, and it is along these veins that they string their magical energy together. The result is an incredible thing to behold: rock that bends, that twists and turns, that grows and changes, all by sheer force of will be these magi.

= Used and manipulated =

The White Stone has become an invaluable resource. Mundane uses such as building, defences, weights and so on suddenly become less laborious and a limiting; the designs and uses of even weapons are unique in Nueva Libertad. El lugar de todas las personas is made entirely from the White Stone and so has many uses, from something as simple as a crude bench to elaborate arenas and shapes used to educate and practise those who are willing to learn.

Those magi who can influence and manipulate the rock are known as Portador * and have formed a guild of their own. They are based near the smaller settlement of Trabalho Inteligente ** and it is here that they have discovered the extensions of their magic. The teaching of this magic is also partly given here, and often delivered in conjunction with dwarf and kossith alike.

It is said that the activists of the city, those fight side by side with Furia and the Hand of Justice utilise it many ways in the fight for freedom. From reinforced shielding to explosive projectiles, the reports of White Stone devastating the Resolutionists’ enemies became more and more widespread until the ceasefire of 9:47 was signed.

= A rare quality =

The rare, unique qualities of the White Stone are a point of pride for the citizens of Nueva Libertad, a point of pride that many a Thedosian would no doubt wish to also lay claim to but it is only for those who have joined the Resolutionist cause to celebrate, for now at least. One thing that cannot be argued when it comes to this fascinating resource is that many of the citizens of this city consider the White Stone to be fully representative of that which they care for most. ..

Of freedom.
