Notes
A category rather than a substance, and the answer differs everywhere. Shining Reach builds in a white and gray stone it carves; Clearhold works the hard gray rock of its own mountain; Eldershore builds in coral rock and Ombari.
A city’s Maerga is the first thing a traveler notices about it and the last thing anyone who lives there thinks about.
