Doom Steel

The metal brought to Eternity by the Eternals. It is Theosite 's polar opposite in every possible way. While Theosite is a silver with blue streaks, Doom steel is blacker than the darkest night with green cracks running up, and down it's form. Instead of glowing for the noble, it releases a noxious green smoke, and coats itself in acid for the wicked. Only those who doom themselves to serve the Eternals can hope to use the stuff.

Properties

Material Characteristics

It's appearance is blacker than the darkest night, with glowing green cracks running up, and down it's form.

Physical & Chemical Properties

The metal is acidic, and smoking green whenever the user is truly wicked. If it is held by any who are good, the metal would reject them, and it would burn their hand down to the bone.

Geology & Geography

Doom Steel cannot be found on Eternity. It must be given by the Eternals. Those who have access to the foul substance have already doomed themselves.

History & Usage

History

Doom Steel was the material used by Kainox during his conquest at the end of Eternity's first age. Now it is used by members of the cult, Children of the Eternals.

Discovery

The first use of Doom Steel was by Kainox. It was given to him by the Eternals to create the Sword of the Undying.

Cultural Significance and Usage

Ever since the orcish conquests, Doom Steel has been a symbol of evil, and sin.

Manufacturing & Products

It is used exclusively for the creation of foul weapons. Such weapons include Sword of the Undying, which was used by the orc, Kainox the Undying.

Hazards

The metal must be processed before it can be turned to blade. Very few who preform this process survive for long, as the fumes eat away at ones insides.

No one knows. The material itself has been deemed wicked in nature, and one could be punished simply for knowing where some is. Only the wicked ever seek it out, or even think to touch it. But, if a good person were to touch it, the metal would reject them, and would burn their hand down to the bone.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. -John, 3:16
