Meteorite eternium
Meteorite eternium is a miraculously hard and durable metal that is innately magical in nature. It is found only in craters that form in places where stars have fallen to the earth, making it extremely rare. The secrets of handling meteorite eternium are known to only the greatest artisans, but such are its amazing properties that from it are made, indeed, the mightiest and most sought after of mortal armaments.

Physical characteristics
Meteorite eternium is a lustrous grey metal found in ore veins beneath the earth. Deposits are characterized by an abundance of very thin veins that spread downwards from the surface as if a web or the roots of a tree. The bright surface of the metal is tinged with pale hues of vibrant colors from red to blue and yellow and everything in between. These prismatic colors also appear in reflections of light cast by the metal.Properties
Meteorite eternium is used to craft tools of war. Its incredible durability lends itself to making weapons that can outlast any others, even dulling and breaking inferior weapons on repeated strikes. Armor forged from meteorite eternium is nigh impossible to penetrate with anything but the most magically powerful of methods. Moreover, the metal is innately magical in nature, having the same benefits that enchanted weapons do. One of the most notable if not widely known properties of meteorite eternium is its ability to stop weapons made from Sidhe glass. This fabled material is used by the fey to make blades that cut through flesh, wood, steel and even dwarf-forged adamantium like a knife cuts butter. This terrible ability makes fighting against such weapons extremely difficult, for to parry their strikes only means that your own weapon will be cleaved in twain. Weapons and shields made from meteorite eternium can be used to block the strikes of Sidhe glass weapons, leveling the odds and forcing both combatants to resort to traditional combat maneuvers.
