Kaca (glass) of Nirrakal
• Calli – This glass varies from coin sized to the size of a small vial. Usually clear or amber in color, this glass is often used in making vessels or decorative figures. Containers of calli are considered the best by potions-makers, as the glass never reacts to what is placed inside it.
• Kiramaini – small glass beads or pearls, naturally occurring in a myriad of colors, perfectly spherical. Used for jewelry. Extraordinarily rare, this magically-aligned glass is considered sacred by the Fallien, who do not like it leaving their land. They guard it religiously.
• Mukakkannati – thin sheets of glass that hold a mirror-like sheen. Very fragile, usually cast over the top of other glass. Crushed mukakkannati can be applied to a weapon using a special glue. This would, naturally, make such weapons exceedingly painful for those on the receiving end of their attacks.
• Valaiyalman – sugar glass. Fine, powdery and occuring in every shade, this glass can be used to color almost all other glass by melting valaiyalman over it. Valaiyalman, however, has another use: it holds poison extremely well, and will transfer that poison into any liquid it touches. Melt poisoned Valaiyalman onto a sword or the inside of a drinking vessel, and you will have a potent weapon indeed.
• Cillu – Pane glass. This is usually very pale and milky in color, sometimes compared to the colors of dawn. It appears in very large sheets that often cover several square yards, and can be cut to various sizes. This glass is extremely strong, and must be cut using diamond-cutters in order to remove it from the desert. Often used in cathedrals or other structures, it can also be used in sacred knives and armor. However, Fallien guards it judiciously. It can be purchased in Fallien itself only by the very rich and important. The only other way to find it is from certain Black Market dealers, and that will cost you dearly.
