Giant Craft
a kind of smithing that the True Giants used, the style of smithing done by the least skilled Giant is able to produce higher grade craft than some of the best mortal smiths and can even surpass crafts from the gods if a skilled enough giant were to smith.
In past ages weapons of Giant Craft were used to slay divine powers, Weapons able to deal fatal wounds to the beings above.

Today the Giant's no longer forge weapons for mortal hands without great reason too. And with no smithing Giants left in Felwind those desperate enough for such craft seek the remaining Fire Giants living in the Elemental Plane of Fire Getting there is the easy part.

Though very few new Giant Crafts are made presently. there are countless to be found in the realms. Buried in long forgotten tombs, impaled in the corpses of dead gods floating in the astral sea. used as decoration by a naïve wealthy family, wielded by heros or villains who knows where you may find one.

Though equipment is the most common thing people think of Giant's craft references many things made by the Giants, some examples are the great gates to the Underdark built many ages ago. The forgotten forge of Nabilhime. Even some construct were crafted with Giant hands. Scholars and reserchers are still today finding new crafts that match the same smithing style.

Some Smiths have dedicated their life to the study of Giant's craft, mostly through old books, passed down by masters or even taught by the giants themselves and so are able to perform Giant's craft with their mortal hands. but smiths wit this skill are only a handful in the known realms and their services become so sort after they may go into hiding or simply lie saying they no longer have the skill or just refuse all together.

Giant's craft was a way for creators to create. it was never intended to destroy. though through the ages while the Giant's still walked and shaped Fellwind's land something caused a change and weapons were made, to this day its still unknown why. was it simply for sport? was it to protect their land? was it to protect themselves? was it to hunt? it could be none of these reasons or all of them.

Weave Crystal
were the arcane weave is strong and has not been disturbed for many years it begins to condense into a luminescent crystal of sorts known as weave crystal.

It is commonly found in places such as.

• The caverns along the border as well as the Underdark
• The nation of Meshela, due to the population's stance on the use of magic it has allowed the weave to collect and condense in parts of the nation not scared by the Spell-plauge
• Magi School Grounds, Often within various Magi school testing sights where students practice spells frequently gatther loose arcane tat condenses into crystal. although far smaller than observed in other areas of the world.

Arcane Mist
A phenomenon where the arcane weave has become thick and unstable. this mist has its benefits but mostly drawbacks.
Visibly the mist appears as a slow swirling yellow or golden vapor in the air that reveals visions within the mist of things that have happened in the past in the area. these vision are only ever short and not very clear and can be as early as a few seconds ago to hundreds of years.
Spells cast while within the mist go wild similar to a Wild Magic Sorcerer without fail and normally multiple effects happen at once and can even casue chain reactions depending on the power of the initial spell.
Spell casters will find their magic energy recover considerably faster while within te mist, not needing rests but simply time to recover.

Slayer
officially recognised Title given to individuals who carry out hunts on abnormal creatures as a line of work, Blood Hunters are the most common and well known Slayer but Rangers and other mercenaries also have this title.

Adamantine Arcadia, Volume 16
Adamantine is a hard, black metal that, in its polished form, reflects a green sheen under normal light and a purple-white sheen under magical light. It is a rare, heavy metal, found most often in lava flows and meteorite landing sites. Due to adamantine’s density, items made of it are 25 percent heavier than their mundane counterparts.

Silver

Celestial Silver Arcadia, Volume 16
When veins of silver develop deep within the earth alongside rare gems known as moonstones, the exposure creates a prized metal known as celestial silver. When worked properly with a special cooling process, this highly effective metal can repel some forms of evil. Though celestial silver is generally safe to work with, wear, and use, some masterwork artisans claim that a curse is left upon those who handle the metal with ill intentions.

Frost Steel Arcadia, Volume 16
Iron ore bathed in a monster’s icy breath can absorb some of the energy and glow blue. It is rare and dangerous to find—most often in the hoard of a white dragon—but worth the hunt for those brave enough. Once obtained, frost steel is easy enough for a masterwork artisan to use and mold.

Meteorite Iron Arcadia, Volume 16
When refined, meteorite iron is heavier and less brittle than basic iron. It is flecked with orange hues, which makes it easy to identify. Many ancient civilizations depleted the surface beds, leaving the remaining deposits buried deep in the Underdark or in remote, unexplored lands. It is a pliable metal, making it beginner friendly.

Mithral Arcadia, Volume 16
A rare metal, mithral is dark and silvery. It is strong like steel and half the weight, and thus an ideal material for folks looking for the lighter side of powerful weapons. Mined from the deepest tunnels of the oldest mines, mithral is hard to find, but deposits yield an abundance of it. Artisans craft gorgeous wares with intricate details with this lightweight metal, and due to its density, items made of it are 25 percent lighter than their mundane counterparts.

Delerium Guide to Drakenhime
This magical mineral was left behind when a shattered chunk of the Lost Moon hit the nation of Athein as a meteor long ago. It appears in geode clusters of translucent, sharp-edged crystals that reflect octarine light. The eldritch stones softly hum in dissonant tones, and glow brightly at night or when exposed to magic.
Deposits are found throughout Athein and in some surrounding areas, often seen fused into stone streets and buildings like crystalline moss. A typical delerium fragment is about the size of a finger. Crystals may be fist-sized or slightly larger, and geodes may be as big as a pumpkin. Massive clusters might grow taller than an average human.

Obsidian Arcadia, Volume 16
A volcanic glass, obsidian is brittle until properly worked with and molded, a process that makes it strong and able to absorb force. Obsidian is a relatively common material found most often near mountainous rivers. Due to its rigid nature, obsidian can be purposefully broken while working it in the forge to form sharp, jagged edges, which tear the flesh at odd angles and make healing more challenging. It is shiny and black, so not only is it effective, it is perfect for the brooding character in your campaign.
