Tredohal ponders.

Japhrimel says, "If anyone would like to attend such an event, you'll want to join me."

Japhrimel says, "As we are lacking a cobbling warehouse right here, we'll need to go on a short trip."

Speaking in Faendryl, Maetriks says, "Upon Despana releasing her magicks upon the world, the alabaster began to suck in the darkness and altered in state... thus why it is called despanal."

Japhrimel nods.

Speaking softly to Japhrimel, Aeavenne says, "I believe after the war with Despana, so many sorcerous magics were used that the alabaster changed to what we now c."

Aeavenne softly says, "Ops."

Under Japhrimel's masterful hands, a pair of unfinished flats begins to take shape.

Aeavenne blushes a nice shade of light pink.

Speaking in Faendryl, Maetriks offhandedly says, "Or that."Japhrimel says, "Aye, it was discovered that exposure to significant quantities of sorcerous energies would change the gem from alabaster into what later became called despanal.. after Despana, yep."
