Zyqantis Steel
Zyqantis steel is a relatively rare material in Zevian which holds incredible durability and resistance to magical interference. It does, however, weight too much for most conventional needs such as armor or weapons. It was commonly used in making long lasting barriers or traps or other types of early mechanical contraptions, but those were later phased out. It took until the 14th century (1300) for magic and science to develop enough to alter the composition of the steel and cut out much of the unnecessary weight while retaining the much desired magical reflection. Through a series of charms, and by melting, filtering with magnets and highly enhanced screens, then reshaping, the metal became extremely useful for weaponry and armors alike. This process also allowed for the metal to be used much more efficiently, however you needed to know how to do it.
A combined effort from the kingdoms of Harlong, Tumpal, and Vysten was required (science from Harlong and magic from Vysten and Tumpal). These teachings were then spread throughout the 7 kingdoms.
