|'''Amber'''

|Highly valued for its colour and natural beauty, it is often made into a variety of decorative objects, ranging from beads and pendants, to smoking pipes or small drinking vessels. Specimens of a clear nature, or particularly stunning coloration, will often fetch the highest prices.

 

Amber deposits have been found in multiple places, though these have been in the warmer portions of Bormar. Scholars theorise that the lack of trees in the past may have contributed to the lack of amber in the colder areas of the region. Shores and coastlines are often common places for pieces of amber, often being washed up by the waves where any traveller may find them, but any serious mining attempts are done underground.

 

Within Dwarven superstition and folklore, it is said that amber brings clarity to the mind and control of one's intellect, allowing them to achieve mental stability and to complete tasks that they may not have previously had the potential to do.
