History & Usage
History
Discovered in the early days of the Founding Wars, it was used to create weapons for both the Namers and the troops of the Enemy. After the war ended, the metal was forgotten, and only the Void used it to create weapons as gifts for its most loyal servants.
Discovery
The Namer Sloane, on a scouting mission to Zalimar Island, came across the ore. The Void then spoke to him and explained its uses. He brought the ore back to the base camp of the Namers and forged a weapon with it, a sword he named Bloodbath.
Everyday use
Rarely used in everyday life. Certain fighters have swords or knives of the material.
Refinement
Must be extracted from the ore. Can only be shaped by Sloane or the Void.

Mainly used to create weapons, though some was used to create the walls of the city of Morgance

Hazards
Extremely high temperatures are needed to shape the metal. Risk of burning is very high. An inexperienced person may also injure themselves through magical channeling if they are not careful.

Blades can be melted down and reforged, though as the metal does not decay, this is rare
