	Not really silk, steelsilk is the alchemically-treated fiber of the blue-thorn vine, which grows only in the [[Jungle of Fangs]]. A parasitic vine, it cannot be grown in captivity, but plantations of trees most suitable for its growth are maintained. The thorns contain a toxic chemical that makes harvesting it difficult; in addition the alchemical treatments required to make the fiber usable are both expensive and dangerous.
