Introduction
Due to its remarkable durability and strength, iron is often used to reinforce a wide range of structures, including furniture, doors, and buildings. Its versatility and ubiquity have made it one of human history's most essential and widely used materials.
Description
Iron is a robust, lustrous, and magnetic metal with a silvery-gray hue that can be found throughout the continent, albeit less frequently than other materials, such as coal. It does not exist in its pure form; instead, it appears as iron ore, composed of rocks that contain metallic iron and come in various colors, ranging from deep gray to rusty red.
Iron ore is extracted from underground mines and then smelted into metallic iron in furnaces or kilns, which must reach a temperature of at least 1500°C. The hardness of iron makes it a valuable material for blacksmithing, particularly in tool- and weaponsmithing, as well as for crafting sturdy armor.
