Superior/Superior 8000 25 15 5 15 10 V Leta
Notes: This very lightweight metal with a greenish hue is both pliable and has a very high tensile strength. The mineral itself is usually found in such small quanities as to make crafting impossible. The harvesting of ingots from merieje fragments and dust is a secret process known only by the most ancient sylvan craftsman and remains closely guarded to this day. Equipment crafted from merieje is considered masterful.

?/? ? ? ? ? ? ? I Duvan
Notes: Extremely lightweight and dark vitreous metal. This metal is renowned for mentalist properties. If broken, naje simply winks out of existance. Naje is never mined or crafted, it merely appears or exists. It can not be ensorcelled or enchanted, and its potential use in crafting equipment is as much as a secret as the manufacturing process of merieje or the working of banewood.

Ultimate/Ultimate ? ? ? ? ? ? I  
Notes: Extremely heavy and highly magical gold colored metal. Seige gold is the most sought after material in the realms. It is unbreakable, and nigh unenchantable by most magical methods due to being so powerfully magical in itself. Seige gold can also store incredible amounts of essence for use in imbedding. All items crafted out of seige gold are relics from the Age of Wonders, as the process for creating and casting seige gold has been lost to modern times. Equipment crafted from seige gold is beyond masterful, and its wielder should be feared and respected.

Ultimate/Ultimate 1950 12 -5 10 -50 -50 R Taqe
Notes: The heaviest metal, next to seige gold, somme is not very malleable and can not hold an edge. The dark brown metal is most commonly used by gharkin for crafting large mauls and mattocks. Often this crafting merely involves gouging a hole in a mishapen lump of somme and attaching a stick or handle. Some have theorized that somme holds a sort of magically distilled inertia, which is why it lends itself so well in this fashion. Equipment crafted from somme is considered superior.

Good/Superior 2500 15 7 5 3 7 V  
Notes: The process of turning regular steel into the highly coveted Vashan steel is a closely guarded secret of a select few Nagosan metalsmiths within Vash. Called 'living steel' by those who wield it, all Vashan steel weapons are born with an inherent essence flair rumored to be brought forth by the spirit of the metal itself. Equipment crafted from Vashan steel is considered good to superior.
Ziint*

Damage
Bonus		 Rarity Deity Affiliation
Good/Good 6500 22 6 0 0 0 V Thine
Notes: Midweight white metal is slightly translucent and glows in darkness with an unnatural light. Ziint is home to intensely concentrated amounts of essence and thus "leaks" essence continuously. Contact with skin should be avoided! Ziint is often wielded by the more showy of theurgists and channelers. Ziint is almost never crafted into full armor, as prolonged contact with the metal results in aether burn. Equipment crafted from ziint, for those brave enough to wield it, is considered masterful.
