Mithril

Silversteel, Moon Metal
Description
Mithril is a precious and rare metal known for its unparalleled strength and lightweight properties. Often referred to as Silversteel or Moon Metal, this luminescent material is highly sought after for crafting powerful artefacts and intricate runes. The dwarves of Stoneculling have mastered the art of forging mithril, utilizing their ancient techniques and deep knowledge of metallurgy. By shutting down the volcano beneath their mountainous home, they were able to accumulate vast supplies of this coveted resource. Mithril's occurrence is primarily linked to volcanic activity, where it forms in the intense heat and pressure found deep within the earth. Its unique properties make it ideal for creating weapons that are both incredibly durable and surprisingly light, as well as armour that offers superior protection without hindering movement. The shimmering appearance of mithril items often signifies their exceptional quality and magical potential.
