Copper

the Gift of Alu

To most copper is just a cheap coin in their pocket. The Copper Piece, such as the Anbar 'seely' or Novyum 'pence', is in fact the lowest valued of currencies. But to the learned copper is far more than a simple cheap metal. Aside from its value in creating alloys such bronze and brass for art, decorations, and tools copper is the best conductor of the Anon (Magic) of all metals, especially Kianon. This metal is the most used in the creation of 'magic items'. Enchantments are woven into clothing using copper needles and threading; most magical jewelry has a copper core; weapons and armor are augmented with copper gilding. To the Dwarf it is a divine metal. Their kings throughout time have worn armor of copper, stronger than the thickest steel. To the Elf, it is a tool of power, able to forge blades that will cut through enemy steel as if paper. Copper is truely, as they say, 'the Gift of God to the world.'
