Description
Platinum is an extremely rare and precious metal in the world, often referred to as 'Elder Metal' or 'Star's Tears' due to its lustrous, silvery appearance and celestial origin myths. The metal is notoriously difficult to locate, with veins of platinum hidden deep within the earth or found in meteorite remnants. Mining it requires advanced techniques and significant effort, making it one of the most valuable materials available. Its rarity is further compounded by the fact that only a few master miners and metallurgists possess the knowledge and skill required to extract and refine it without losing its unique properties. Platinum's exceptional resistance to corrosion and magical interference makes it highly sought after for crafting enchanted artifacts, royal regalia, and elite weaponry. Legends say that weapons forged from platinum can channel mana more efficiently, enhancing both magical spells and physical prowess. As a result, items made from this precious metal are often passed down through generations as treasured heirlooms.
