Valuable Commodities
Water is the most critical resource in Duskaran society, often controlled by local councils or powerful guilds. Ice blocks harvested from the night side command premium prices, underscoring the vital role of water in sustaining life. Geothermal energy, produced by thermal exchangers in cave settlements, is highly sought after by twilight cities, powering homes and machinery in regions where wind energy alone cannot suffice.
Rare materials extracted from the day side, including heat-resistant alloys and rare crystalline formations, fuel the creation of advanced tools and infrastructure. They are retrieved by mining drones command extraordinary prices. Freshly salvaged equipment from failed operations is often more valuable than the raw materials, as manufacturing capacity is limited. The caves, in turn, supply crystals and bioluminescent fungi, prized for their applications in psychic enhancements and practical lighting. Psychic artifacts, such as amplification stones or weatherworking tools imbued with latent energy, are considered priceless, often held in reverence as much as utility. Lastly, hardy plant strains and livestock, adapted to Duskara’s harsh conditions, are essential for sustaining agriculture and trade.
