The Starlight Drift of Shimmering Snow
The Starlight Drift of Shimmering Snow is the name given to a certain cliff face near Endsmeet in Zenith. Impurities in the rock, similar to the material used to make lightstones, capture sunlight and slowly release it after sunset. It is considered a site of outstanding natural beauty. In 378YE, the decision was made to take advantage of the naturally high flows of mana around the Starlight Drift. Work began almost immediately to construct several mithril collectors that could be used to harness and focus the mana flows to produce crystal mana - without damaging this beautiful natural wonder.
