Is Cleria a form of silver?

[blustar]

Is Cleria suppossed to be True Silver or Mythril? (or even silver)

Don't most of the games/anime make an analogy between Ys being prosperous with Cleria and magic then burying Cleria because they thought it was the soure of the Demons coming.

then,

In modern Esteria they find silver and become proserous again? Is the buried Cleria what they later dig up and call silver?

Did the magic or the Cleria make Ys prosperous?

or in other words wtf is Cleria?

thanks,

in the times of Ys, Cleria made Ys prosperous. Demons came after the Cleria (they like the way ti shines or something), so they buried all the Cleria and shot Ys into the sky (I won't spoil Ys Origin here). in Esteria later on they began mining and found the Cleria again, but they didn't know it was called Cleria, so they called it Silver, demons came again after the Cleria and around that time Adol comes into the picture, slays the demons, saves Esteria, get shot up to Ys, slays some more demons and some dude and Ys is brought back down.

all-in-all: Cleria is a silver looking metal with powers, so Cleria is not silver although it looks like it.

In other words, Cleria is a magically enhanced silver. Or just a magical silver. :)

Lots of metals are silver in color, but do not necessarily qualify as silver in mineral composition. So... cleria can be cleria without actually being silver.

Besides, unless my brain is abandoning me, didn't they say somewhere in Ys VI or Origin that cleria is related to emelas...? I don't remember specifically offhand, alas.

Cleria is silver, yes. Play Ys 1 or watch the anime for the full story. Silver mines of doom, and all that.

The anime don't count. It also said that Dog helped fight Vargullion. =[

Personally, I am thinking that Cleria is silver given an emelas treatment of some kind. It could well be that the Rasteenie silver was treated; it could have been more efficient to treat the whole mountain, or perhaps only untouced silver could be treated.

We need more data, really.

[Darker Fact]

Since I played Ys I, I've been under the impression that Cleria was mistaken for and regarded as silver, having many of the same properties, but being its own derivative form of emelas- ash/grey emelas which makes the Galbalan monsters and the like.

Cleria is silver-like in its properties, but is not silver.
