Metallurgistian Causeway
The Metallurgistian Causeway is a region situated in Southwestern Valoreum, consisting of Volcanic Jungles, Rift Valleys, and Montane Conifer Forests. With this in mind, it is known for producing a majority of the ore found in Valoreum, and both flora and fauna possess attributes attributed to the elemental power of metal. This makes this region a perfect place for the Na'aldrakken, Metal attuned Diiv Anne that are known to live in the region. It is these Na'aldrakken that are said to be the best smiths and artificers in all of Evenea, and their reowned continues long after their hay day.
Localized Phenomena
Due to the Causeway's elemental attunement to metal, metal nodes are extremely common, and even minor ores make up most of the rock (causing most rock to be quite hard to get through). With this in mind, the flora and fauna have also incorporated metallic elements into their body, meaning that many plants have metal incorporated into their woody or herbaceous parts and animals that have feathers, claws, scales, spikes, horns, or osteoderms also possess this metallic incorporation. When using metal magic in this region, this magic is much more effective.
