Notes on the origin and properties of Amber Plasm

Sap. That is what these thin-shelled fools call it. As if such a substance could ever be compared toNirn-tainted resin. No, it is much more than sap.

"Amber Plasm."That is what one of the scholars called it before I fed him toMighty Chudan.He said that it was like thechaotic creatiaofOblivion—leaking intoMundusthrough ourHistlike blood from a wound. These dry-tongues and their airs—as if anyone could know the secrets of the Hist better than I!

The plasm has accumulated at the roots of theTsono-Xuhilsince before theSaxhleelcould lift a spade, but only I have discovered its secrets. Drinking it or bathing in it can drive a Saxhleel mad. But through alchemical study, and the Hist's guidance, I have learned to harness its power. This was no small feat. The creatia is a thing of chaos. The call toSithisis in its nature. But we must remain deaf to his commands. Those Saxhleel who call him father languish in mud huts and eat old fish from wooden bowls. TheXit-Xahthear the call to order, and shall dwell in a shining city forever more!

If properly manipulated, the Amber Plasm can grant a worthy Saxhleel great speed and strength. I am proof of its efficacy. Soon, my brew will be ready to distribute to all Xit-Xaht sons and daughters. ThenMazzatunwill be a rival even to theImperial City!The People of the Root will ruleBlack Marshfirst, then all ofTamriel!
