Tears of the Moon

What players would know #

Tears of the Moon is a rare, prized metal—so light and strong that folk tales insist it “remembers being light.” It shows up in heirloom blades, ceremonial armor, and relic tools, usually with enough paperwork and guards to make you wonder whether the item is precious or simply politically dangerous.

Craftsmen say it’s temperamental: it behaves differently under heavy magic, and it seems to “learn” from how it’s used. That makes it a dream for enchanters and a nightmare for anyone who wants predictable weapons.

Common rumors #

• A Tear-forged blade changes subtly based on what it kills.
• The Union has some, the Empire has more, and everyone lies about the numbers.
