Oakhide and Cupridium

Posted by Apollo on 04/17/21
We are proud to announce that, as of today, the processes and formulas for creating Oakhide and Cupridium are being released, publicly and free of charge. These materials have been labors of care and collaboration, and it is in that spirit that we offer them. We believe that sharing freely may yield improvements both in quality and function of these materials, afford the clever, insightful, and inventive of Arvum a chance to apply their talents. We hope that the young artisans and wise tinkerers of Arvum will be inspired, and turn their eyes toward creating new and better solutions. We dream that the fruits of broad innovation will yield materials that are ever more in reach of those of little means.

Volumes with all relevant detail will be provided shortly to the Archive of Vellichor; the Crafters Guild collection; the new library being built in the Lower Boroughs; Apothecary Guild; the Disciples of Jayus; the Academy of War. Additional volumes will be furnished to other institutions of learning or craft, and to private parties upon request.

In addition to the release of these methods and formulas, the Crafters Guild will review any and all proposals for research and development founded on them as a base, or on other materials similarly released to the public, and aid in funding those that seem most promising. Let this moment usher in a time of collaboration and cooperation, that we may all benefit.

With thanks,
Apollo Whisper and Felix Meadson
