Multiplex

Multiple-Plexurion Arrangement Glass is an ultrastrong sand compound artificially created by the Glassbenders in 1855, then under the label of Ice of Immortals. The compound was translucent and used to shield soldiers in combat against magical attacks, and was highly valued for its immunity to fire and shattering. Eventually the technique of making it was lost and the price of the compound increased until it was reinvented by Protecta in 1996. The new compound, which was called Multiple-Plexurion Arrangement Glass and shortened to Multi-Plex, was more transparent than the Glassbenders' invention, though containing a very similar molecular structure, which came in shapes called Plexurions. Multiplex had no magic involved, unlike Ice of Immortals. The Protecta Ultrachain was formed in 2006 to produce multiplex quickly and efficiently. By 2015 it became a very widely used material for all sorts of buildings and constructions in the Straits of Fire.
