Aethelsteel

Aethelsteel is a type of steel traditionally associated with the Uvar of the Twin Peaks. According to legends, the knowledge to forge it was brought home by Styrmar Rhoke from the lands beyond the , where he spent years in exile for . There he learned of the azdal ways of smithing, and his story is immortalized in the oral epic "The Secret of Steel".

Aethelsteel's properties are much alike that of present day steel in Westcrowns as forged by learned smiths. However, it has no need for maintenance besides sharpening, for rust never taints it. Though its sturdiness and cutting edge are fairly unremarkable today, it was said to be a league above plain steel back in the days of Styrmar Rhoke and for centuries thereafter.
