Ichor is a vital resource in Hanaq, crucial to the industrial and magical might of Esperanto. This purple, oil-like substance mined from the earth has shaped Esperanto's economy, politics, and culture. Its extraction and use have significant environmental impacts, carefully managed through regulations.
Ichor is a purple, viscous liquid with a slight acidity. It has a high affinity for magical energies and can be ingested, though extremely dangerous.
Ichor is mined from deep underground deposits. Esperanto has developed techniques for safe and efficient Ichor mining, giving them an advantage in its procurement and use.
Ichor is essential in creating Items/Adamantine, Esperanto's primary metal. The exact process is secret, but Ichor's properties allow for this fairy-safe, magically conductive metal.
Ichor binds magic to physical objects, used in creating Spell-repeaters. These devices store and reproduce magical effects, widely used in Esperanto's manufacturing.
Ichor has been used as fuel, but Core Drives are making this obsolete in advanced regions of Hanaq.
Ichor is valuable in alchemical processes, used in potions, magical items, and magical research.
Some consume Ichor for its intoxicating effects, despite the dangers. This practice is generally outlawed in Esperanto territories.
