Aezist

Aezist is the element produced by melting the chains which imprison the slumbering God hidden behind the clouds of Silverfall. It is a liquid metallic material which solidifies upon contact with human skin, creating markings on it. These marks bestow unique powers to their wielders. This ritual is also called branding. Extensive contact with this material may turn the person into a vessel. Vessels are also created by submerging or "drowning" people in Aezist.

A smaller amount of Aezist on a human only heightens the physical capabilities of a person, later giving them sensory powers. A bigger mark, which are often cultivated into runic shapes, may give a special power, while also driving the person mad, eventually creating a vessel.

The element hosts great magical power. The city of Silverfall also uses this energy in several ways, but there is an underlying reason why the Empress requires this many hosts of energy.
