Origin & Source

Aerosteel was created to make airship travel possible, but has since been used for a whole host of other applications.

History & Usage

History

Engineers in Lexania needed to find a way to make airships possible. Eventually they stumbled upon a special air compound that when used in the process of making the steel, made the material extremely light. Since being shipped to other parts of the world, it has been used in weapons, armor and even buildings.

Distribution

Law & Regulation

Aerosteel is different enough from steel that normal steel smiths would not be able to do proper upkeep on aerosteel. Therefore, aerosteel has special training to be able to smith it and do upkeep on it, making it a less than normal material.
