Sininen Tomu

Sininen Tomu (La. "Blue Dust") was a Beadmaker ruin standing on the north shore of Sheltered Bay. The Jäämiehet gave it this name for the heavy, stone jars of blue powder which turned up from time to time at the site. Their viisaat made use of this mysterious substance in rituals and ceremonies (primarily in winter, when the blue dust contrasted with the white snow). The powder was actually an ancient Númenórean glaze, which the Men of Westernesse presented to the Helmivalmistajat in token of friendship, but the Jäämiehet had no knowledge of this fact, and believed the dust to be a gift from the Spirit World.

Little more could be recovered from Sininen Tomu apart from pottery sherds and the occasional unbroken jar containing glaze. The latter, however, was not without potential value to Dúnedain. The Glassblowers' Guild of Tharbad, for instance, would have paid handsomely for the recovery of the glaze in hopes of recalling the lost secrets of its making. Loremasters from Fornost would have also taken great interest in the pottery sherds (though without any offer of compensation that could rival that of the Glassblowers' Guild).
