It is a rare resource, found on only a few worlds here and there. Where Ley Lines or Dragon Lines as they are called intersect. Ley Lines being the Lines of Magical Energy, that flow through a world. The Lines of Power form a sort of Weave arround a world. It is from this weave of Magic that Mages and other Arcane SpellCasters draw their power.

Forever it is known to happen, that in the deep places where these Ley Lines cross, they form what are known as Mana Wells, strange Nexuses or Fluxes of Magical Power. And this Mana at times takes a solid form, be it glowing networks of Crystals or pools of semi-solid/semi-liquid material.

It is from these very rare and highly guarded sights, that the Asharan Imperium powers their Mechano-Magical Machines and Ships, with Quintessance, the Semi-Solid/Semi-Fluidic substance, which looks like shimmering Mercury. This Arcane Fuel also hums with Magical Energy.

A recent development of the Asharan Imperium, after some 30 years of research into the nature of this energy source. To be used now, rather then having hundreds of Wizards casting enchantments. Special recepticles and engines designed by Dwarves and Gnomes placed in these Machines and Ships, then fueled with Arcanium Fuel, an easy term coined for the description of Qunitessance.

Such Engines and Machines last for months powered by Arcanium fuel, without refueling.

It was first found that the refined and even raw Arcanium was infact rather instable, and that through much trial and effort they found that the Psionics stablized the fuel.
