Metal

Metals are the solid manifestations of Primordial blood.
* Copper - This soft, reddish metal is the blood of Orboros, and as such can be found in thick veins within the deeper reaches of soil. Copper is a very common metal and more easily accessible than iron, and as such is the most commonly used substance to make weapons and armour.
* Gold - This pure, untarnished metal is the blood of Mithras, the Sun. It fell to the surface of the world when this Primordial clashed with Oblivion, its nemesis. Composed of solid light, gold is anathema to demons and Contaminated.
* Iron - This common, hard metal is the blood of Nito, the Underworld. It is found in veins within rock the world over. Iron can be refined into a purified form known as Nitoan Blood Iron, which is lethal to most fey races.
* Silver - This uncommon shiny metal is the sap of the Tree Isildragg that was born of Nito and Orboros. It is found within the stone roots that radiate from the Tree and so is much more common near the centre of the world. Due to its dual nature, silver can be used to interface with the Land of the Dead.
* Steel - This metal was created by the god Hob from the blood of his parent Nito. From iron, the strongest metal in the world was forged, and the arts of creating it granted only to his chosen people, the dorogar.
