Mythril
Properties
Material Characteristics
Mythril is a blueish silvery metal that is mined from the ground.
Physical & Chemical Properties
It is much stronger and lighter than steel, however it is much rarer than the components used to make steel.
Compounds
Dwarves make a special metal to make weapons and armour by making an alloy that is a mix of mythril, iron and copper. The metal is stronger than steel, about the same weight, and is easier to make than refining pure mythril.
Geology & Geography
The metal is found all over the continent, however, it is usually very deep underground. This means that the Dwarves of Vogrhia are the biggest exporter of the metal due to their deep and expansive mines and underground cities.
Origin & Source
Mythril comes from Mythril ore that can be found in veins deep underground with a similar, but slightly less scarcity to gold.
Life & Expiration
It is a stable, non radioactive metal.
History & Usage
Discovery
It was discovered by some elven miners when looking for platinum. They look somewhat alike and have similar properties, but Mythril is lighter and far stronger.
Everyday use
It is commonly used in weapons, armour due to it's high strength and light weight. It is also used in jewelry due to it's scarcity.
Hazards
Mythril melts at rather high temperatures, so working with it comes with risks of heat stroke.
Reusability & Recycling
The metal can easily be melted down and reforged into something else...given high enough temperatures.
Distribution
Trade & Market
due to its scarcity, mythril is sometimes used as currency as it has an approximate perceived value to gold.
Storage
There is no special requirements for storing this metal.
Type
Metal
Value
