Q10. Are you cool?
 1. I love refrigerators.
 2. Coolness is only a concept created by your impression of someone. If a cool person to you is someone who can be epic, then yes. 
 3. But can you really know if someone is, in fact, cool? First, we would need to figure out what it means to be cool. Most of us agree upon the definitions of basic adjectives that describe shapes, colors, and maybe even behavior. However, once we enter the realm of opinionated impressions, adjectives similar to “cool” become much trickier to define. After asking 30 strangers what cool means to them, I think it’s fair to say that being cool is comparable to being admirable, skilled, smooth, or kinda cracked. If you believe that someone may have any of the characteristics, then they reasonably can be labeled as cool. However, you may very well not believe any of these adjectives to describe someone cool. The problem with the usage of language is that every individual interprets the same word differently. One person might relate the word “cool” to admirable, but another might think it means something closer to “skilled.” So how would you know for certain that I am or am not cool? In order to answer that, we would need to know whether humans have free will. If our brains were wired to always believe in the former answer, (however unlikely that is), then yes, I would be cool. But how do we know for sure that others don’t think the same as we do? Asking other people about their opinions would not work because their interpretation of their opinions might differ drastically from yours. And asking more questions would only make it less likely that you understand exactly what they are trying to tell you. Ultimately, with such a flimsy consensus of words, it is up to you to determine whether I am objectively cool or not.

Within the ancient Tungar Cliffs lies the remains of one of the largest forges ever created. The ancient builders once gathered here to buy, sell, and admire the strongest armor and tools the forge had to offer. Ran by the best blacksmiths in their world, there were no materials that couldn’t be found here. 

Copper armor and tools⁠
were mass produced during times of war because of their strength and relatively cheap cost. The ancient builders would leave full sets of copper equipment on armor stands, making them more protective with oxidation.

Amethyst armor and tools
were one of the hardest sets to produce. After many failed attempts at creating amethyst equipment, the ancient builders found a delicate balance between efficiency and durability. Although the armor and tools may be very brittle, their high efficiency and damage greatly outweigh the disadvantages.

Emerald armor and tools
were rarely used, mostly because of the importance of emeralds in the ancient economy. People wearing and using emerald equipment would do so to flaunt their wealth to their peers and usually had political influence. However, the commoners often found it arrogant and wasteful.

Phantom armor and tools 
were considered the pinnacle of technology during the reign of the ancient builders. The ability to be invisible when moving at walking speed changed the balance of power within the kingdoms of ancient builders. 

Glowing Obsidian armor and tools
were treasured for their appearance, as their glow easily attracted newcomers. Traders were always gathered around a Glowing Obsidian armor display when an auction was announced.  Of course, its ability to create light was also very beneficial to cave explorers and miners. Unfortunately, many overlooked the armor’s strength buff because of its captivating glow.

Warden armor and tools
were created using the magical abilities of the Warden's tendrils and heart. Anyone who dared to equip the Warden armor was instantly overwhelmed by its power. Once the person adjusted to their new senses, they could periodically sense mobs through walls and were immune to any type of blindness.

Gilded Netherite armor and tools
were the first to be created with an alloy. Netherite was one of the toughest natural elements that could be refined and crafted into armor and tools, but the blacksmiths of the forge tried to infuse it with the gilded blackstone from Nether Bastions. The result was astonishing, leading to armor with full knockback resistance and tools that seemed to never break.
 

Aetherite armor and tools
were used by early civilizations because they existed in the overworld. Aetheritte equipment was crucial in gaining an advantage on the battlefield. The greatswords were able to dominate the battlefield with their swift area attacks, and the aetherite armor granted the wearer an immense amount of extra hearts. But the aetherite equipment was soon approaching extinction because of how rare and exhausting it was to try and find these precious aetherium ores.

Reaper armor and tools
were unheard of – because nobody thought it was possible to acquire the Reaper's power. Nearly every ancient builder has heard of the Reaper's tale: Once a servant of the Wither, it plotted to overthrow the tyrant's iron rule over the Nether. With the help of the ancient builders, the Reaper prepared an attack on the Wither's fortress... but nobody could predict what happened next. With just a simple glance at the soldiers, each and every one of them was paralyzed with fear. The Reaper harnessed the souls of these soldiers, creating an army of its own. Needless to say, nobody dared to get anywhere near the Reaper's territory.
