Iron

Iron is a common metal found and used across Galetia. Pure iron can form steel, a considerably sturdier metal, although not all societies have the ability to craft steel. Iron is often a successor to bronze, a weaker metal that is simpler to work with.
However, even in steel-making societies iron still has myriad applications. It features as a material used in cookware, tools, weapons, armor, and building materials. It is vulnerable to oxidation, which results in brittle rust.
