Acrylia Caverns

Luclin caverns rich in glowing Acrylia ore, carved by the Vah Shir and now overrun by the subterranean creatures lurking beneath them.

Overview

Drawn from The Maps of Myrist zone description.EQ1Primary · official

The discovery of marble-like material with phosphorescent veins encased within Luclin's earth was perhaps one of the most important events to ever occur within the Vah Shir's fledgling history. This material, named Acrylia by its discoverers, would allow the Kerran nobles to construct a city of unrivaled magnificence and beauty. It would also become one of the darkest threats to ever descend upon their homeland.

Vah Shir shamans located a spot near the site of their sacred earth that was heavily saturated with the beautiful ore, ignorant of the subterranean creatures that lurked beneath Luclin's surface. As mines were constructed and excavations to unearth this glorious substance began, the vicious and hostile lunar creatures made their presence known.

Grimlings, bloodthirsty hordes of misshapen humanoid creatures, and construct beings of unnatural origin eventually drove the Vah Shir out of the mines. The Vah Shir were successful in retrieving enough Acrylia to construct their city before the attacks began, but the substance's properties were far too valuable to ignore. To this day, the Vah Shir lead expeditions into the mines and Acrylia continues to slowly seep into the cultures of Luclin's empires.
