Kadepa

Kadepa means "highland" in the language of the Prydaen.

Similar to damite in its properties, but more easily worked, this metal is found only in the western lands beyond the Great Barrier. Once kadepa was plentiful, frequently found in mines in the highlands from where it got its name, but also seen in smaller flecks within rivers and streams that carried it with them into the valleys. However, since the corruption of the land by Lyras, kadepa has been found less and less, leading some amongst the Prydaen to speculate that Eu itself has pulled the metal farther within the land, protecting it from the evil magic that twists everything else that once was pure. Further credence to this idea has been lent in recent times, when spikes of kadepa have erupted from the ground near the Sunfell Hub site, as if nature itself were providing the Claw with one last, untainted weapon. Kadepa is a dark silvery blue reminiscent of a clear, star-strewn sky just before dawn.

Esata says, "The ingot is of a metal called kadepa that is native to the Western lands, though very rare. It is somewhat similar in properties to damite, but easier to work with."
