With the gatekeepers now but a pile of bones, Ezra takes his time inspecting his rewards.
No molten core in sight, but the shards lay aplenty.
Initially excited, as Ezra looks over the shards, he finds that not all of them are the same.
While some looked exactly like the shards he absorbed before, others had a different type of shape and luster.
Here, Zydrax intervenes to explain the difference.
[These type of shards are called ember shards. They are used as crafting materials to increase the fire resistance of any item they are imbued with, preferably armor]
[And making armor is what those bone fragments are usually used for. So you've gotten yourself very decent material to make a fire resistant armor]
Though the prospects sounded nice, it dowses Ezra's spirit to realize that such shards aren't meant to be absorbed.
