Adamantine

Adamantine is a metal alloy used extensively throughout Esperanto and its territories in Hanaq. It serves as the primary alternative to steel, which causes allergic reactions in fairy populations.

Properties

Adamantine possesses several unique characteristics that make it invaluable for industrial and magical applications:

Strengths

Lightweight yet strong, comparable to steel
Higher tensile strength than steel
Naturally resistant to corrosion and rust
Holds a sharp edge for extended periods
More ductile than steel, allowing for greater flexibility in construction
Efficiently conducts magical energy
Non-allergenic to fairies

Weaknesses

Slightly lower compressive strength compared to steel
Poor heat conductor
Distinctive sheen that can make camouflage difficult
Vulnerable to certain magical or alchemical attacks
Requires specialized tools and techniques for working and repair
Non-lethal

Production

Adamantine is created through a complex process involving Items/Technology/Ichor, a purple, oil-like substance mined from the earth. The exact method of production is a closely guarded secret of Esperanto metallurgists and alchemists.
