Nethrium

Not much is known about this mysterious, black, metal like substance. Tales have been told of terrifying, nightmare like warriors clad in black or evil sorcerers wielding ghastly blades caked with frozen blood but very few have actually seen it first hand. A good portion of these rumors originate from the deserts of Nuum where skilled practitioners of magic have dabbled in the forbidden arts for generations and others from crack pot alchemists who claim to know the secret, for a price.
