Falconsteel

Overview
Falconsteel is a rare metal found mostly in imperial regalia and weapons of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire, mostly those of its Grand Falcon. The production of the metal is no longer possible due to the loss of its mines and most qualified personel, but certain smiths of the Ashtrokan-Wanenreich Empire that migrated along with the falconians from rathnir are still capable of refining its ore as well as reforging existing examples of the metal.

Discovery
Falconsteel was discovered by the Band of Falcon engineer, Ernst Douglas in the depths of the volcano of Falconia, while initially mistaken for iron it was soon found to be stronger as well as increadebly difficult to refine and forge. As such only the best of Falconias smiths were allowed to work with the metal in order to not waste the precious resource. Gathering the metal required for people to mine into the depths of the volcano in hopes of finding the elusive ore, some of the more brave prospectors would use magic and alchemy to allow them to survive the hot lava of the volcanoe for a small amount of time, diving into it and emerging mostly empty handed due to the rarety, but when ore was discovered it was a great celebration.

Uses and Legacy
The metal was reforged into armour for the richest and swords for warriors, due to the rarity of the metal only a few pieces of armour were ever forged while the swords could be found regularly amongst the warriors of the Band of Falcon. After the betryal in Falconia and the band of Falcon haveing to find a new home, the Grand Falcon led them to eldham, many of the Falconsteel items were lost in this jurney and through other battles. With almost all known examples of Falconsteel being in the possetion of the Grand Falcon of the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire and a few of its oldest and highest rakning members. Due to the Empire not controlling Falconia - the only area known to have Falconsteel deposits and the cities current inhabitants not being aware of the metal contained by the volcanoe the production of the metal has halted.

The Greatest Pieces of Falconsteel are the Crown of the Grand Falcon - "The Avatar of Obergotter" and His Sword - "The Falcon's Talon", they are kept locked in the Imperial Senate building and Royal Residence, only used douring Special occasions, coronations and rerely in wars as despite the strength of the metal it is considered too valuable to be risked.
