List of Materials by Toughness

There are a number of factors in the toughness of a material:
# Hardness (brittleness, breaking)
# Malleability (bending, ductility)
# Impact Absorption (flexibility, elasticity; or magical redistribution)
# Shear (tearing/cutting)
# Flammability
# Conductivity (heat-resistance, doesn't heat readily, carries electrical shocks—rarely are the separated)
# Cold-resistance (freezability)
# Magic-resistance
# Corrosiveness (maintenance)
== Personal Armor ==
# Leather covering for shields, straps, etc.
# Wood: Alder, Linde, Poplar, Huorn for shields
# Sacred versions of woods above
# Hard woods for shafts, handles, staves, etc.: esp. Ash
# Aketon: quilted wool or linen
# Guillion (Gwyllion Wool) (superior gambesons)
# Golden Wool: from winged rams in Golias (krisomal/kirsamal)
# Nemean Leather: impenetrable but soft and unabsorbent against blows
# Steel
# Armandine
# Azothine Steel
# Azothine Armand
# Genbu Shell: never becomes brittle, shadow affinity
# Behemoth Leather (nearly as tough as dragon scale, more easily worked for shields and the like)
# Sevenril
# Mizzium
# Live Dragon Bone
# Hydra Scale: easy to keep skin alive but separate has mild regrowth except when burnt
# Orichalcum: the green armor of ancient kings
# Dragon Scale: fire resistant
# Leviathan Scale: readily water tight
# Galvorn
# Tilc
# Mithril
# Adamantine
== Building ==
# Hard woods
# Sandstone
# Limestone
# ...
# Dragonstone: Dragon Bone that has dried out
