* {{Phlebotinum}}: Two, which together power all the setting's Magitek:
** Sunstone, a brightly-glowing rock.
** Darkstone, a pitch-black stone that, when in complete darkness, is immovably anchored in place, such that no force or weight can move it (this being what keeps the setting's continent, Telos, from falling). If a non-uniform light of sufficient strength is shone on it, however, it will move away from the light, it's momentum depending on the size of the sample of darkstone and the brightness of the light.

The first installment in ''Chronicles Of Everfall'', a WorldInTheSky setting by [[WebVideo/{{Shadiversity}} Shad M. Brooks]].

Who better to fight back the darkness of the world than the one responsible for most of it?

Daylen, once known as the Great Bastard, the Scourge of Nations, [[NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast Dayless the Conqueror]], has lived in hiding since his presumed death. Burdened by age and tremendous guilt, he thinks his life is coming to an end. Unbeknownst to him he’s about to embark on a journey towards redemption where his ruthless abilities might save the world. Many battles await with friends to be made and a past filled with countless crimes to confront, all the while trying to keep his true identity a secret.

Indeed, it might be too much if not for the fabled power awaiting him.
