'''Glaes''', often called '''mein''', is a volcanic glass that is extremely durable but extremely heavy. Smiths who craft weapons or armor of this material are often skilled at both blowing glass and forging, as the use of this material often involve both skills. |

'''Glaes''' is a slightly translucent, commonly black or dark-colored glass formed within the intense, volatile atmosphere of a volcano. It is quite heavy even after undergoing forging, but it is very strong and durable and thus is often sought after by adventurers going up against heavily-armed foes. Glaes can be dyed, but it almost always retains its translucent, shiny look. Glaes has a natural enchantment slightly lower than [[vultite]]. In the past, it was often referred to by traders around [[Darkstone Bay]] as 'mein', but the name 'glaes' has become commonly used worldwide as information between cultures spread. |

Glaes is most commonly found on [[Teras Isle]] due to the high level of volcanic activity present. Many varieties of the metal were found there, the rarest of which being rainbow glaes. Glaes has a strength comparable to [[golvern]], but golvern far exceeds glaes in durability. The only other metal that can compare to the strength of golvern is [[veil iron]], which is also more durable than glaes. |
|||
Glaes was once quite rare, only being found in long-dormant lava fields in small quantities, but the relatively recent discovery of [[Teras Isle]] by dwarven miners has led to it becoming a much more commonly-traded material in [[Elanthia]]. Numerous large deposits of glaes were found to be on the island, and the dwarven mining companies scrambled to colonize where they could there. New forms of glaes were found on the volcanic island, ranging through many different colors, the rarest and most valued being rainbow glaes. |
