Ansharite (pronounced AN-shar-ite) is a rare skymetal only found on the asteroids pulled from space to build the aeroliths, the ancient flying cities of the elves. Objects made of ansharite can be kept aloft with far less energy than an equivalent mass of terrestrial material.
Refined ansharite mined from the asteroids has the appearance of polished chrome that is never dulled by age or weathering.
