Dragon Forging

Dragon forging was a forging technique founded during the Age of Dragons to create metal that surpassed the qualities of the regular metal. The metal known as Dragon Metal. The special metal is named such due to many believing the material was forged with dragons. The secrets of this method of forging belonged to the lords from the Island of Ice and Fire in the continent in the east forged absurdly powerful weapons that were improved in many ways comparing to the regular weapons. The secret of forging such weapons was lost when the island along with those who lived there were annihilated by a disaster of their own making. The rumours has it that the lords of the island had dragons of fire and ice, which helped to forge the weapons. The Masters of Knowledge believe the secret to the metal's power is balance. The lords somehow bonded fire and ice, likely using dragons, which created a perfect balance.

Utility

The weapons made form the special material have the exact same utilities of its steel counterparts. The metal is usually forged into melee weapons mainly swords.
When a weapon is forged by Dragon Metal, the surpassing qualities are:

The durability is increased (the blade can handle way more strikes before it is damaged than regular steel)

The sharpness is increased (the blade is sharper and thiner than regular steel blades)

The weight is decreased (the blade is significantly lighter than regular steel)

Weapons made from Dragon Metal is better than those made from Icrill.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing process is lost.

Inventor(s)

The inventor of Dragon Forging is unknown since no records of the inventor exists due to the separation from the Continent of the Realms and the east.

Access & Availability

The method of Dragon Forging is completely lost so no new weapons are created.

Complexity

The technology is extremely complicated due to the harnessing of balance. Upon a study by the Masters of Knowledge, a cave underground recited upon the island. For an unknown reason, the power of the elements (fire and ice) is extra vigorous. Using the powers of the dragons, the lords were able to harness a balance, which is likely where the Dragon Metal was forged.

Discovery

The way of discovering such methods of forging by the lords of the Island of Fire and Ice is unknown and remains as a complete mystery.
