== Metals, Non-magic ==

=== Adamantine ===
Adamantine is the strongest and hardest metal in the world. It is most often located in veins at the nadir of very old mountain ranges— what the dwarves call the “valleys.” Adamantine is most often fashioned into armor, as it can withstand tremendous blows. It otherwise has the same weight as normal iron. Mechanically, adamantine armor negates critical hits. It is usually only forged by dwarves or giants, though some other blacksmiths are able to work with it.

=== Coldiron ===
Coldiron is iron that has been fortified in supernatural ways. For example, leaving a dagger in a mysterious graveyard over three full moons can potentially turn the iron into coldiron, but only if the iron in the dagger is “pure,” i.e. not an alloy or full of impurities. Coldiron is toxic to fey creatures and undead spirits. Mechanically, it deals double damage to fey and undead spirits (ghosts, banshees, etc) and deals an extra 1d6 cold damage to everything else. Elves dislike the feel of coldiron and are not likely to fight with coldiron weapons.

=== Crimson Ore ===
Crimson ore is a metal prized by [[Beings of Avo#Drow (Dark Elves)|drow]] in the [[Underdark]]. Despite its name it is a very dark red, almost black color. It has similar capabilities to orichalcum (high magic enchantment) but is also a great conductor of heat. Its main drawback is that it corrodes quickly under sunlight. The [[Beings of Avo#Duergar|duergar]] mine crimson ore in a partnership with the drow. The drow use it to create and power their sleek black airships. 

=== Silver ===
Silver is silver. Some creatures can only be harmed by silver, hence why I’m putting it here.
