Shimmerwings

Shimmerwings are giant butterflies that live in the Turashtegal Jungle. Stealthy fliers, when they are seen their wings appear to be a different color due to the diffraction of light through their prismatic wings. The Shimmerwings cocoons have the same wondrous luminescent quality. Stupid or brave adventurers sometimes dare the dangers of the jungle to bring one of these magnificent cocoons back to be harvested and woven into silk. One cocoon can produce about four bolts of the finest silk in Gurutama. The Halflings of the southern Hearthland have combined this rare and valuable resource with their small, naturally nimble fingers to create Shimmersilk.

Little is known about these elusive beautiful creatures. There are a few rumors about the Shimmerwings possessing magical powers and playing tricks on the mind, or that they have a hallucinogenic poison, but no one really knows for sure.
