Blacksteel

Blacksteel is a form of metal that was forged in the days of the Kingdom of the Aqorisi. When fashioned into bladed weapons, the steel can hold an especially keen edge, remaining sharp forever without the need for honing.
Aside from its sharpness, Blacksteel is recognizable by its strength and light weight in comparison to ordinary steel, as well as by a distinctive rippled pattern visible in blades made from it. It is also an incredibly deep black colour, which it is named after. Since the Age of Fire, the majority of the surviving Blacksteel weapons serve as heirlooms in the various noble houses of Aqoris, such as Fury of House Boyce. According to legend, a Blacksteel sword was forged by The Son and given to Arabrin Alas and gave him the knowledge to forge it. It is believed that ancient and forgotten magic was involved in the forging of the steel, hence why it can no longer be forged.
