Starmetal

In the most southern tundra of Svellbjargheim one can found an almost alien landscape. In this land, known as Sutfell, thousands of craters as far as the eye can see dot the landscape. Some overgrown with lichen and snow, others still smoking. No man with a good life would journey into this barren frozen landscape on his own volition. But the machinations of life will always churn out new people, desperate for a turn of fortune. It is these people who travel into this landscape, searching for the only thing of value found in those desolate steps: starmetal.

Properties

Physical & Chemical Properties

Starmetal is a type of metal normally only found in the Astral plane. It melts at the relatively low temperature of 300 degrees Celsius and can easily be shaped into a desired shape, but when forged it becomes nearly unbreakable, and a blade made of starmetal never grows dull.

Geology & Geography

A magnetic field, much stronger than the one found in our world, can be found radiating from the poles of Bataf. This magnetic field doesn't just allow compasses to point north put even affects the trajectory of meteorites flying near the planet. These meteorites are mostly pulled into a region known as Sutfell, turning this landscape into a blasted landscape.

Distribution

Trade & Market

Most of the starmetal is exported by the remote mining town of Járnborg, located near the western mountains bordering the Sutfell. The trade route out of Járnborg can only be traversed for a single month each year durring the middle of summer when the ice has retracted. From there the starmetal is primarily sold in the ports of the Oroborian empire, with a few weapons making their way into Oxströnd and Madamsrest‎.
