Notable cloud constructs

 Cloud constructs typically refer to cloud ships of some sort, so this page mainly addresses flying clouds. However, in Sacred Valley [[Lindon]] slept on a mattress filled with cloud madra, a construct made by his mother, [[Wei Shi Seisha]],  a soulsmith.

Eithan has a small cabin and various sacred crops:<blockquote>  The Nimblethorn root was typically used as a medicinal herb to separate types of madra before spiritual surgery. It wasn’t common, but it wasn’t incredibly valuable. .. A men’hla tree was especially valuable to Soulsmiths, as each of its leaves actually produced a separate Remnant. For many projects, one men’hla tree could be an endless source of dead matter. ...“Hammershell fruit,” he recited. A prime source of force aura. “A hive of ivory bees. Cloudbell bush. A spring of Whispering Water. Starlotus pond.” His list contained nothing that the Ninecloud Court would balk at or flag as unusual. Some were more useful to Soulsmiths, others to refiners, and he mixed in some decoys with the ones he really needed. (Uncrowned ch 12)</blockquote>
