Incomplete Article
  • This article is incomplete, which means that while it is not a stub, it still lacks certain data or information.


Specific Types

Animite

A silvery-black metal, expensive like a very strong platinum.
This material must be provided for alterations.

Anlora-avtoma

Rare and bluish-white in color. May be Elothean in origin. Reputedly resistant to magic. It is also part of the process to creating mistglass (re: Auctioneer Cesiro during the 399 Hollow Eve Festival Auction).

Audrualm

A bluish-grey metal, so far only seen sold by Uwresari's Exotic Wonders.

This is a bluish-grey metal that has a rather unremarkable look but an ability to give edges an uncanny razor-sharp edge or point, though it's typically too rare for larger weapons. Use in jewelry is considered an ostensious waste because it has an unremarkable look.

Brass

Bronze

Cambrinth

See cambrinth.

Copper

Damite

In its raw form, this is black, sort of like granite, only not as pretty, and very difficult to work with. In large quantities, it's even harder to work with. It isn't at all suited to jewelry use, but makes for nice weapons and maybe even armor, or so the rumor goes.
Availability: Very rare. :This material must be provided for alterations.
Forging Properties: Very hard, very flexible, and extremely heavy

Darkstone

This blackish metal is ideal for weapons and armor, and hardens to almost a stone-like consistency when worked into weapons or armor. Sometimes sold as 'dark steel' to minimize association with Dirge, its true name is beginning to gain popularity again.

Electrum

Glaes

This is a gorgeous metal -- sort of a glossy, near-translucent blue-black. If a smith is god-like in his abilities, it will go white in the forging process, at which point it can be colored with crushed gems. It is found in veins of lava, in extremely tiny quantities.
Availability: Extremely rare. This material must be provided for alterations.
Forging Properties: extremely hard, extremely flexible, extremely heavy

Gold

Gold, blue

It's gold and it's blue. Only available from a Prydaen merchant who sold blue gold items.

Gold, red

Haralun

Meaning 'black rock' in gamgweth, this is a very dense metal, dark metal typically used in heavier blunt weapons where weight is an asset.

Iron

Kertig

These are tiny blobs of silvery-black metal that comes from meteors and comets, so keep your eyes on the skies! Or, since it weighs a lot more than lead, maybe keep digging deeper, because when this hits the ground, it usually ends up several feet below it. Beautiful enough to be used for (weighty) jewelry, this extremely rare metal is much more commonly used by forgers.
Availability: Extremely rare. This material must be provided for alterations.
Forging Properties: absurdly hard, fairly flexible, very heavy

Lead

Lumium

Looks sort of like the dull side of tin foil. Not very pretty, and not used much for jewelry purposes, because, well, it looks like cheap silver, and if you're going to have something that looks like cheap silver, you might as well just have silver, get it scuffed up, and use this in a weapon anyway!
Availability: Very rare. This material must be provided for alterations.
Forging Properties: very soft, extremely rigid, extremely light.

Nickel

Niello

A brittle black metallic alloy of sulver, copper, silver and lead, niello is extremely soft and pours easily when melted. This metal is typically used to add embellishments, or to make embossments and engravings stand out.

Niniam

This is a sort of sedimentary substance, sort of like the limestone you'd find in the cracks of old igneous rocks. Its crystal form is a white powder, while its metal form is a dark blue-grey. It takes a LOT of heat to work with, and isn't in the least suitable for jewelry.
Availability: Very rare. This material must be provided for alterations.
Forging Properties: hard, somewhat brittle, very light.

Oravir

A silvery-white metal used by the Vykathi, in the form of Oravir slivers.

Orichalcum

A red-gold, so far only seen sold by Uwresari's Exotic Wonders.

A reddish gold metal that's about the softness of platinum. Typically used in jewelry. It's too soft to hold an edge, but is often used to make filigree for weapons as it holds enchantments well.

Pewter

Platinum

Silver

Steel

Tin

Tyrium

A purple metal, so far only seen sold by Uwresari's Exotic Wonders.

GM Raesh-Like steel, tyrium is predominantly an iron alloy, though what it is alloyed with is a secret that has eluded metallurgists. Should any have discovered the secrets of its manufacture, they have kept the secret well. Fortunately, when found, whatever the origins, tyrium is only slightly harder to work with than the best steel.
