Not just the creativity and talent but the DRIVE. The first two are useless without the third. Our Ashley has self-discipline liek whoah! I am full of both envy and appreciation.

I truly wish I had a third of your creativity to create such an in depth and original world.

First Silver is the most powerful of all extant First Materials. First Materials are the remnants of the First World. The world of Kasslyne that Duane and Sette and the rest of our heroes live in now is the Second World. It decayed out of the perfect First World, a world untouched by the khert and all its natural laws. There was no time, no decay, no entropy, no change. The remnants of that First World - First Materials - are hence immune to the khert and its "brutal" natural laws, and also pymary. Handy stuff! With enough of it to hold the khert at bay, you can do whatever you want with reality. There is no force able to stop you and restore natural law. This makes First Materials useful for making fantastic pymaric artefacts - Uaid, who is made of First Earth, or Boo who is made of First Brass, or even a little explosive held inside a bulb of First Glass - but as we're seeing here, an unimaginably large cache of the most powerful of First Materials also makes for a devastating and bizarre mobile weapon slash science experiment. We know this particular batch of First Silver - the largest cache ever discovered - was mined by Jab Beadman, the de facto ruler of Sharteshane, and given to the masterminds of this plot. If there is some more mysterious origin than that, it has not been stated.

What exactly is the First Silver? I don't think its origins were really touched on yet.

Jimbo

Exactly.

Ashley

So is what he saying is that the khert makes up the rules of what reality should be like in this world but the silver blocks the khert's influence so reality can be shaped how anyone wants it be?

After they first hatch, yeah. They look much cuter after they plump up and grow their head adornments.

Ahaha, I guess DL isn't as much in his element here as he pretends to be. Hoist by his own creepy cancer fruit. Is that what baby two-toes look like?
