Black Iron

Black Iron is among one of the heaviest and densest metals to be forged in all the northern realms and while almost every civilisation has learned how to make Black Iron, very few have actually managed to find a use for it.

Black Iron weaponry, tools and armour has been attempted many times but almost always to largely negative and futile results. Its hefty weight makes it unsuitable for any swinging weapons and its limited ability to flex makes it prone to snapping when under pressure.

The elves have found a use for it as a very thin trim that can be applied to their Aurikh armour.
