Shimmer is a rare alloy of soulsteel that is made only in Stygia. The exact origins and composition of this material are unknown, but there are some rumors. It is said that it is produced only at the behest of the Dual Monarchs and that the Deathlords have few items of this soulsteel in their possession. It is known for it's quicksilver gleam and the strange colored points of light always seen reflected in it. Also, it does not have the tendancy that other soulsteels have to moan or howl. Often this alloy is strangely silent, placid even when daiklaives of it are used in battle, but it has another side to it in that sometimes items of it are known to "sing" or hum when being held or used. It's said that only certain souls are chosen to make this alloy, and only then if they are willing. They are subjected to Arcanoi to allow them to be forged without pain, focusing on a purpose of some sort. There are other rumors as to strange excretions gathered, forges burning with a power other than that of soulfire, and of magical silver hammers that allow it's production, but the truth is known to few and they do not (can not?) speak of it.
