Andri Steel Material in Aewyn | World Anvil

Andri Steel

The town of Andriuul was founded near the mountain because of the natural water source from the mountain tops, but also because of the potential of mining materials from the hard rocks.
  Andriuul is the biggest exporter of steel found in Aewyn and the iron they use is amongst the purest to have been found in nature. The iron is mined from the mountains and brought to the steelworkers in Andriuul where they melt the raw iron and mix it with other metals to make an alloy, which is famously known as Andri Steel.  

Normal uses

  Being a strong alloy, steel is used in many things; for weapons, tools, building, and construction. But because of the long process of melting pure iron and making it into a stronger alloy, steel is not that cheap. This also means it is usually only used where it is most necessary to have a sharp and strong edge, like weapons, knives and working tools.

Weapon and tool trade

  Most of the trade that goes out of town is the steel that is made into weapons and tools. For weapons, the most successful is swords, daggers, axes and arrow-heads - which also makes sense, as you'd like to have some weapons that are strong, doesn't easily fracture and has a sharp edge. With tools, chisels, axes and hammers are the most popular.  
Andriuul steel is claimed to be the strongest of its kind, and it is the most durable.
  Finding the iron ore has been very important for the city and the area around in Lakai - many jobs has been created, to collect and mine the ore, to refine it, and to trade it.
