Azhur's Ore: The Quantum Bridge
The mysterious crystalline substance that bridges human consciousness and The Field—rare, valuable, and poorly understood.
The Material That Makes Magic Possible
Azhur's Ore is a crystalline substance that maintains macroscopic quantum coherence at room temperature—a property no other known material possesses. It acts as a bridge between human consciousness and The Field.
Physical Properties
- Color: Deep blue-black with internal luminescence
- Weight: Surprisingly light (~2.3 g/cm³)
- Hardness: Between glass and diamond
The Temporal Anomaly
Inside ore crystals, time does not behave normally. Past, present, and future exist simultaneously, allowing:
- Omnipresent sensing (The Field exists everywhere)
- Prophetic glimpses (sampling future probabilities)
- Memory access (viewing recorded pasts)
We do not know WHY ore breaks time.
Origins and Sources
All Azhur's Ore originates from Sepehr-e-Nohom. Earth deposits come from ancient meteor impacts.
Total Earth Supply: 50-100 tons (incredibly rare)
Annual Mining: 0.5-1 ton

Mysteries
- Why does ore break time?
- Can we synthesize it? (All attempts failed)
- Is it alive?
- Does ore remember its users?
