Lima 773 Share Posted January 24, 2015 An extract from the book “Metals Today” by Grungron Irongut, High Remembermancer, 1482. “Kodeh steel stands as a alloy developed within Athera by the Dwedmar shortly after the first operationally successful Runeforge was created within Hiebenhall after the fall of Kal’Agnar. The material blend was first found by one Lori I̶r̶e̶h̶e̶a̶r̶t̶ (Now Oathcast) and Hogarth Irongut with initial experimentation of alloys able to be produced by the Runeforges unprecedented heat. Further refined by Sharr Irongut, it now stands as one of the few stable materials produced for the first known time within a Runic forge. Kodeh steel seems to bear similar properties to Carbarum in terms of its workability within tools, however it bears a unique trait that has allowed it to have limited success in mountainous and arctic environments frequented by the dwarves, namely that it does not become brittle when exposed to extremely low temperatures. This material, since its discovery was then produced in a reasonable quantity to refurbish locations in low temperature environments where maintenance of gear comes at high host due to the frequency of its breaking, and has become a popular choice in mountain scaling equipment as well as mining.” OOC: The material is a slightly bronze tinted steel in appearance, composed of a blend of Shimmerstone derived from Mage gold, carbarum and ferrum. The material however does not seem to make the structure desired to produce a low temperature resistant robust material unless it is heated to a degree far higher than that capable of a normal forge. It does not hold any properties superior to other common materials used for tools apart from the fact that in RP it doesn't shatter when frozen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lima 773 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Isn't carbarum a nightmare to work with? Its a alloy anyways, and I am just saying that due to 'LOTC physics' that the mixed materials form a structure that doesn't become brittle when frozen. You wouldn't be working with solid carbarum and trying to shape it, merely a small amount inside the alloy that produces its special quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
