Not truly a steel, but actually a unique metal with hues that range through the gamut of greys and blues, both dark and light. Regardless of the color, when light hits the metal, it invariably reflects a brilliant yellow. Dawnfire steel is known for its ability to hold a strong, keen edge even when forged into a very thin blade.
Other Information
As the story goes, there was a young Prydaen shaman living at Sunfall Hub who was keen to devote himself to the gods. He isolated himself in a life of severe asceticism, spending most of his time in meditation and depriving himself of all but the smallest morsels of food. He immersed himself in the signs and symbols of Demrris, reveling in particular each day at dawn, appreciating the strength of the new light and the majesty of the changing sky. He emptied himself of worldly interests so that he might fill his spirit with that light.
One night, exhausted, he passed out and had a vivid dream in which Demrris was silently in front of him. He followed the dark god through the night, eventually coming to a cliff-side facing east, where the nimble god disappeared over the edge. When he looked over, he saw Demrris sitting on a ledge far down the side, gazing out at the sky, his fur now shining in the palest light of the morning. The god briefly glanced up at the shaman.
The shaman awoke into darkness but with the sense that he could follow the god's footsteps. He did so and managed to find a cliff very similar to his dream, climbing down to the ledge below. As he sat watching the sun rise, he glanced over to where the god had sat and noticed a small crevice opening into a cavern. Within the cavern, a vein of metal shone in one wall, reflecting the new sun's light a vibrant yellow. The people of Sunfall Hub now carefully harvest small quantities of the metal in honor of Demrris, forging blades that always carry with them the brilliant light of dawn.
