Uncommon Metallurgy
✦Bronze
Blacksmith, Ornamentalist, Uncommon
Bronze cannot be found naturally occurring within Volaris as an ore, instead existing as an alloy of tin and copper. Favoured by more proficient fighters, bronze is known to be overall better for armour and shields than iron. It is also featured in long standing statues and various ornamentation.
✦Silver
Blacksmith, Ornamentalist, Uncommon
Silver is a moderately rare and highly valued metal, known for its brilliant, reflective sheen and its versatility. Mined from veins deep within the earth it is commonly used in the crafting of jewelry, coins, and ceremonial artifacts.
✦Fulgurite
Blacksmith, Uncommon
The formation of Fulgurite is often found to be a mystery to most, though it is commonly believed that the material is formed by lightning storms striking intensely cold locations, freezing the lightning itself. Visually, the material is found in veins resembling the form of lightning; with a strikingly bright, white appearance that appears glassy.
If the material is taken and worked by a smith, it is found to be malleable akin to metal; and when formed into protective items such as shields, gauntlets, or boots the material has been shown to disperse lightning or other electrical dangers that strike its surface to the surrounding area, oftentimes dangerous to those around the wielder.
✦Fae Threads
Tailor, Uncommon
Fae Thread has many stories about it's discovery prior to the collapse. It was said to be the traditional hunting clothes of Sun Elves that was later adopted by the various human cultures. It is commonly referred to as "Elven Copper" by the older generation, though this name has slowly phased out of use.
The material itself is unlike regular ores one might find, being quite malleable in its unrefined state. Instead of blacksmiths, this ore is mainly used by tailors due to its similarity to actual threads and linen. Many hunters prefer to set traps made from these threads while some guard uniforms have the fabric tabards replaced entirely with fae thread.
Fae Thread itself is considered to be on par with bronze armour.
✦Heavenstone
Blacksmith, Uncommon
A glowing ore in its unrefined state, often mistaken for actual rocks. This material is said to be found in the deep recesses of caves, and is rumoured to be good luck amongst miners due to only finding it after their torches and lanterns go out.
After refinement heavenstone is called 'Elysium' as it transforms into a bright gilded metal. In both forms, this material generates a dim light source in a 5 block radius
