Difference between revisions of "Ichor-alcohol"

In the time before the [[Manywar]], the Five Scholars studied the magic of Awakening together, seeking to uncover new [[Command|Commands]] and understand how Awakening operated. Yesteel discovered aan ichor-alcohol during this time. This new process made it easier to create Lifeless that lasted longer.

The discovery of ichor-alcohol drastically altered the course of history on Nalthis. It was one of the main causes of the Manywar. {{book ref|wb|33}} Lifeless were now cheaper, meaning kings could create armies that didn't have to eat. Jealous of Yesteel's discovery, [[Shashara]] (another of the Five Scholars) tried to invent more new Awakening processes.{{book ref|wb|51}} She invented new Commands that allowed for Lifeless to be created with a single Breath.{{book ref|wb|53}} It also caused her to discover the way to create Type-Four BioChromatic entities, such as [[Nightblood]].{{book ref|wb|51}} Shashara's two discoveries also helped to cause the Manywar.

Three hundred years after the Manywar, ichor-alcohol allowed countries such as [[Hallandren]] to keep large standing armies of Lifeless, requiring no food and minimal maintenance. Lifeless had also become far more common as servants and workers, doing tasks for their masters. The ichor-alcohol helped make it possible for the people to possess Lifeless because it made the Awakenings cheaper. Ichor-alcohol is utilized in the creation of most, if not all modern Lifeless, such as [[Clod]]. A new kind of ichor-alcohol was also developed by Yesteel that was somehow more potent.{{book ref|wb|epilogue}} Knowledge and use of this new variant was not widespread at the time of the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]], circa 327.
