Editing Fyreslayers (section)

==Ur-Gold==

Ur-Gold was created when Grimnir's firey spirit fused with Vulcatrix's metal blood during their simultaneous death, and upon being spread across the realms this combined essence sunk underground until it merged with hidden veins of gold. The Fyreslayers believe that somewhere around five in every hundred parts of gold is Ur-Gold. Only the Zharrgrim priesthood is able to reliably tell Ur-Gold apart from regular gold, and even they have trouble explaining the differences. Although some may cite strange sheens or an invigorating smells, it really comes down to a kind of gut instinct on their part.

The exact abilities given by Ur-Gold depends on what type of rune its made into. On tabletop, this manifests in six different buffs that can be applied to your Fyreslayer army depending on what rune they activate that turn. The Soulbound RPG allows you to go more granular with this, and gives you a choice of nineteen seperate runes to choose from to customize your character. Ur-Gold runes remain dormant until activated in battle, and a typical sign of them being activated is the Fyreslayer emitting smoke or sparks from his body.

Some Fyreslayers get addicted to the feeling of power and divinity they gain from releasing the power of Ur-Gold. This condition is called the Glimmerlust, and the Zharrgrim priesthood take great efforts to ensure this does not become a problem by carefully rationing the supply of runes. Still, it is not unknown for some to fall entirely to Glimmerlust and become Doomvarags, madmen who slaughter their kin in order to take runes from their corpses.

In addition, due to Ur-Gold containing Vulcatrix's essence in addition to Grimnir's, the Zharrgrim priesthood have absorbed some of his elemental power from their constant handling of Ur-Gold, resulting in them developing abilities to manipulate fire and magma. This power was boosted further by the Necroquake, allowing the summoning of lava constructs known as Magmic Invocations. The most notable of these invocations are the Magmic Battleforges, forges that the Zharrgrim priesthood can summon from the earth. In addition to being used as a convenient way to craft runes and cremate the dead when far away from the Lodge, they can also empower the Ur-Gold runes of those fighting nearby.
