 In addition to the magical elements which make up all of Esfah, the world of #@DDtm@#, there is a powerful and mysterious metal called Eldrymetallum (also known as "star metal"), which is not native to Esfah. This rare metal is primarily found in meteors. [[items#relic|Relics]] are made of a pure form of this metal. It has also been alloyed with native metals and alloys such as bronze, silver, and gold.
