These horrors will feel the wrath of our kin, bathed in the flames of our great foundries and forges. Come now! My brothers! We shall be weapons which sunder the earth and scorch foes of old!” - A Lord of Iláthia

 

In times of old in the depths beneath, the most arduous of Mortal Men found their ways into the bowels of the earth. Amongst horrors of ancient ilk and elder kin of ancient old, in a world deep beneath the world above, they found treasures of untold wonder. Metal to shatter stone, weaponry of carnage carving, and relics of grand wizardry. In the depths of Chthon they found the Deep Steels, and of these metals they first were shown the Daemonsteel.

Daemite Ore(Raw)

         Daemite is a quite hard, dark crimson, ore that is of continuous consistency, given its incorruptible nature, seemingly not affected by ravages of time and appearing to have few if any alchemical reactions, such as most forms of corrosion. Found deep beneath the earth in secluded places, yet in great quantities, making it by no means rare, just hard to get to. However, once found, there would be plenty of harvesting to be done and much profit to be made off selling the semi-valuable ore. Though, one should care for its fire cracker-like flammability, as it may scare the faint of heart.

Harvesting Method

Daemite has no specific method for mining, though one should note that striking it will send sparks flying everywhere. Though, these sparks are of little make and will essentially burn off the moment they hit the floor, walls, or even clothing, making it quite safe to mine, even if it’s a bit frightening to the newcomer in your group. Be creative you fucks, I’m having to write ideas in redlines.

 

Daemon Steel(Refined)

         Daemonsteel is an Iron:Daemite ratio of 3:1, for every three units of Iron, one unit of Daemite is needed. This archaic metal is a matte ash-grey color, retaining an appearance similar to most other steels in texture, feel, and durability for the most part. Having few discernable differences with the exception of how uncharacteristically dull Daemonsteel looks. An interesting thing to note in regards to Daemonsteel is its increased forging and melting point, having a forging point around 2,730°F(1,498°C) and a melting point of around 3,340°F(1,837°C).

Applications

Given that Daemonsteel is essentially typical Steel with a Carbon ratio which may vary depending on what kind of Steel you’re looking for, do what you want. It gets hot or cold fast and retains those temperatures for periods of time quite longer, and given its increased forging and melting point, it makes good use in things such as chains, crucibles and forges.

Refining Method

         Daemonsteel does not veer too far off from how the process of typical Steel is made. However, there are a few hiccups along the way. To forge Daemonsteel, one must have a fairly advanced forge, capable of reaching temperatures of up to at least the melting point of Iron. Now, the process of making Daemonsteel is entirely up to the individual smith, as there are a variety of methods one could use if one is knowledgeable in smithing. Though, typically it will be required one add Daemite into the Iron, the method in which this is done is up to the smith at hand. As already stated, Daemonsteel has a forging point around 2,730°F(1,498°C) and a melting point of around 3,340°F(1,837°C).

Extra - Burning Wrath

         Though, an individual must take into account the interesting properties of Daemonsteel. One will notice that once heat is applied to an ingot, tool, or weapon made of Daemonsteel, it would quickly heat up, slowly developing a steely blue-purple hue for a short few seconds, which soon fades into a dull orange, after finally becoming red-hot, in a time-frame similar to that of a normal ingot of steel. This effect is also mirrored with the cold as well, the Steel developing a darker matte grey color, with a slight blue hue to it. However, the rate at which Daemonsteel takes in or loses heat when applied to something hot or cold, is entirely dependent on what the method is to apply ‘hot’ or ‘cold. A bonfire may apply this effect roughly around a minute, smith’s forge would likely apply this effect in around thirty seconds. Colder temperatures are harder to work with, but generally speaking, snow could suffice to get Daemonsteel colder, Thanhium works better and faster, but around a minute would suffice. 

 

            One would notice that after Daemonsteel has either become hot or cold, it would retain the temperature it increased or dropped to for a period of time quite longer than what it took to gain that temperature. Typically, Daemonsteel may hold onto the temperature it gained for a period nearly three times as long as it took to heat or let heat. If you let a Daemonsteel axe sit in a furnace for up to three minutes, it would remain hot for a total time of nine minutes. This would apply inversely to the cold as well. One who uses Daemonsteel quite frequently should note that it does become brittle when it gets to its hotter and colder temperatures, thus, it is typically suggested one make much more rugged things out of Daemonsteel, such as Axes and Hammers, though Swords are indeed possible.

Redlines

  • Daemonsteel takes 5 to 10 emotes to heat during combat encounters, depending on thickness - swords being the low end and hammers being the high end. Otherwise, it is up to the players discretion of how many emotes they want to use to heat up a reasonable amount of Daemonsteel, refer to sword and hammer which are previously mentioned.

  • Although Daemonsteel is quite hot, it transfers heat quite poorly. Due to this, Daemonsteel is only capable of really searing objects and leaving burns on flesh. However, if contact were to be maintained, it would be capable of lighting easily flammable objects such as cloth and thatch on fire. Wood would not catch fire.

    • Inversely, this also applies to how cold Daemonsteel can be, not being cold enough to ‘insta-freeze’ objects, but really give an unpleasant burning cold sensation, or coolness. However, it can cause things to freeze if left to time, such as a cooled cup of Daemonsteel may act as a sort of insulator to keep ice in a cup cold for quite a long time.

  • If you have any capacity of Smithing RP under your belt, you will know how Iron is made into Steel. Now, think of Daemite as your Carbon, and refer back to the 3:1 Ratio.

I like this a lot better than the current write of daemonsteel. +1

Personally I dislike the current deamonsteel refining method and I find that this makes infinitely more logical sense. Absolutely a major +1

I don't often read into metals, but this is dope.

 

And the art is cool.

Not to **** on the old Daemonsteel lore, but this is definitely an improvement and pretty poggers. Hope to see more Deep Steels @Elennanorekeep up the good work.

As a frequent smith of Daemonsteel, i've gotta say, current Daemonsteel makes literally zero sense, this brings Daemonsteel up from a joke to something realistic. +1
