The Alloy Devotion

Description

The sample you brought back have changed everything.

Eldrin believes the Ashbreathers are imprinting memory and command into their castes. Not just though ritual, but through what they carry, wear… wield. That would explain the journal’s next notion: “The metal that binds the mind to flame.

He suspects it refers to the alloy used in the ceremonial weapons of the priest caste. Their maces specifically. If he’s right, the material might store more than strength. it might resonate with their castes. Maybe even their hierarchy.

We need a sample. The problem? It’s not mined or forged in any way we understand. The priests don’t just carry it… they’re bonded to it. You’ll need to claim it directly from their dead hands. It won’t be easy. They don’t go down quietly, and they don’t travel alone.

If you can recover one, bring it straight back. We’ll compare it to the glyph-lava. Maybe this is how they shape more than just stone.
