While savage fighting is laying waste to the region, a silver lining can be found, or rather, unearthed.
Soldiers from the 22nd Cataphract Regiment who had finally come out of hiding in their military bomb shelters, discovered a rather peculiar sight. Embedded in a large crater created by a Scandivan air-raid not too long ago was a strange-looking rock. The soldiers initially paid no heed to the bright-pink mineral as they were engaged by hostile Lorotheon forces in the area. As the pitched battle moved on, however, nearby officials were called in to examine the peculiar rocks. Other rocks are being found almost daily, and can be found predominantly in crater holes from earlier bombings.
While the minerals are still being examined in classified areas around the country, one thing is certain: The likes of this mineral has never been seen before. Reports from scientists suggest that the mineral reacts heavily with certain acids and bases, and show qualities similiar to other minerals already discovered, while other qualities are surprisingly... Explosive.
Mixed with a classified compound, it has been discovered that the mineral will react violently with an explosion that will dissipate both the mineral and the compound entirely. It has been reported that an ounce of the mineral, which some scientists are calling Porphoreus Gems, can create an explosion equivilant to that of ten times the amount of C4 explosives.
The government has until now held this new discovery close and top secret. Recent events have made the desperate government, however, unveil this new 'weapon', and claiming that munitions are being made out of Porphoreus Gems.
