Eladrin Ceramics

This article specifically covers ceramics manufactured in the ceramist tradition of Beata Tembria.

Overview
Eladrin ceramists have manufactured a specific kind of ceramic material for thousands of years. In the old tongue, it is refered to as "argilla," which simply means "clay." The material was invented sometime after the Ravaging and has undergone a few changes over the centuries but overall remains the same. The material must be worked, baked, and infused with energy all at the same time, requiring mystical or outright magical equipment or abilities. As such, there are few who have the technology or abilities to do so.

Eladrin ceramics are known for being incredibly strong but brittle. As such warriors who use these weapons often carry a backup weapon. Armor fashioned from argilla is ablative, meaning that it is designed to break when it absorbs the impact of a strike. The Urbana Fabria in Beata Tembria is this constantly creating new weapons and especially armor to outfit a relatively stable number of soldiers.

Only true master ceramists are able to repair Eladrin ceramics. Nearly all of these individuals are employed by the Urbana Fabria, but there are said to be a few masters in other parts of Tonis.
