Apysel
Apysel is a type of amber gem found in Ta'Ardenai.
Nicknamed "forest nacre," apysel is actually a type of amber native to Ta'Ardenai. Apysel can be found in several autumnal hues, the coloration dependent upon the other flora found in the area during its formation. The most common shades are dark jacinthe, hemlock green, and dark yellow. Ardenai cherish apysel that have caught a small insect or bit of flower in its midst.
To unfamiliar ears, apysel sounds vaguely like "appease" in Common, and in some areas of the human empire, the giving of an apysel is meant as an offering or apology (something to appease an offended party).
Apysel is considered a rarer material as of 2023. Because of this, it requires fodder when used in alterations. See alter fodder for more information.
