Moon Steel

Moon Steel, or Mithril, was a type of steel produced by Elves in ancient times. The steel had a high carbon content, as much as 3 times more than ordinary steel commonly used by other races. It also had almost no impurities as the Elves had developed methods to remove almost all of the slag during the forging process. This made weapons and armor produced with the metal extremely strong and flexible. The techniques for producing this metal have been lost to the ages, but there are some techniques that a handful of smiths have learned in order to reforge existing Moon Steel into different forms.
