Mythril

Mythril is a rare and valuable metal, often used to craft large and typically heavy pieces of armor and weapons. Due to the strict circumstances it takes to create mythril, the metal is scarce and is mostly owned by Elven populations, however a small amount is controlled by northern families in Arestoneiam.

Creation
Mythril is created when iron or steel is exposed to the underground pressures of permafrost land for over thousands of years. The magical properties of the northern soil force the metal to expand and add volume while regulating its weight to remain the same. The final result ends with a precious metal that is 1.73 times its original size, decreasing the weight of what it once was dramatically. Because of how deep the metal must travel in order for it to form, it can only be found by mining. Most forms of Mythril come from the irons lost during the Darkest Night and other violent points of history in the Forbidden Forest. Because it requires permafrost land, the metal is mainly owned by the Elves when it comes to Asaland's supply, however there are reserves owned by the noble houses of Arestoneiam's Kinglands.

Description
In its purist form, Mythril is a soft and malleable metal that possesses a silvery color with more shine. It’s easily polished and handled while forging. Its most important feature is that the metal is immensely light weight, which is why it is so valuable.

Uses

 * Jewelry - Due to the elvish population of Asaland finding peace and adopting the Aslandi custom, many elvish families in the Sept Isles are finding no use in their Mythril weapons and are melting down their Mythril and turning it into fashionable wear. Typically they are turning it into bracelets, necklaces, thin tunics, dresses and crowns which they gift their family members.
 * Weapons & Armor- Given how light Mythril is, humans who get their hands on it fasten it into weapons and armor that would usually be heavier with typical metals. Using Mythril allows for these heavy weapons to be used lightly, but without their prior weights and strength.
