Overview:
Meteoric Iron is a metal harvested from fallen meteorites. Typically arriving on predictable cycles from the heavens, it is a metal regarded highly for arms and armor of high status.

Description:
In a natural state, meteoric iron is found in small baubles and clusters from meteorites who survive their entry into the atmosphere. Usually being found in masses less than five kilograms, it lends a considerable rarity to the find. Consisting of a primordial sort of porous iron, it lends a harder and sturdier grain structure at the necessity of higher temperature forging.

When smelted by a skilled smith, meteoric iron achieves an extremely dark finish. It is able to be polished to a near mirror finish, lending a flashiness to ownership. Being harder than typical iron, it holds an edge better but is more prone to cracking when used as armor or heavy weaponry. Alloys of meteoric iron result in steels with a greater tensile strength than your typical, by around 10%.

Habitat:
Found all over the place, though typically scarce. Chronologically they are found most around yearly meteor showers; if one seems to land nearby, hundreds go searching.

Mechanics:

• Harder than standard Iron at the cost of increased brittleness. Holds an edge better, at risk of cracking.
  
• Extremely dark gray metal that can achieve a mirror-like sheen.
  
• Meteoric iron alloys of steel are 10% stronger overall than their counterparts.
  
• Found only during meteor showers, fetches a high price due to prestige.

"A Metallurgical Anomaly" - Prospector, 'Frond-Strand' Petyr.

Summary:
Bwytherus, otherwise known as a useless metal, occupies a position in the heart of some geologists. A position utterly unearned. It is a strange, radiant topaz-colored metal that remains liquid at temperatures greater than freezing water. Much like water, the tendency to retain a liquid state rapidly approaches once greater than the melting point. It is considered by the more expert of blacksmiths to be utterly useless. It can't be forged in conjunction with other metals, and resists the tendency to alloy - usually flowing away and leaving any "alloys" porous and in ruins.  

The metal possesses an odd quality that promotes this behavior, seeming to possess a capacity to draw heat within itself. Heating a sample of Bwytherus to around the melting-point of lead for example, will result in the metal possessing a near-room temperature state to the touch in mere moments. Only in temperatures exceeding that of molten steel does the metal achieve a heat capacity similar in nature to other metals. In another twist of fate, a sample of Bwytherus will contract in the presence of extreme heat, rather than expanding - or, for simplicity sake, a cooled sample of Bwytherus will be twenty percent larger than a superheated sample. This anomaly causes the metals alloyed with Bwytherus to be cracked apart during the cooling phase, not including their tendency to experience excess porosity. Within the chilling depths of the caverns beneath Sangreal, it appears to be of often greater volume, and thus value, than it has exposed to the temperature on the surface.
   
Location:
Bwytherus is rare, though not obscenely so - it is present in pools of swirling topaz liquid occasionally found at the bottom of karst formations within the depths of Sangreal's cavern systems.

Composition:
It varies, with the liquid state being little more than water, and the rarer frozen state being equivalent to gold.
   
Liquid Bwytherus -
Hardness: 0

Density: 5
Flexibility: 4
   
Frozen Bwytherus - 
Hardness: 3
Density: 5
Flexibility: 1
   
Properties:

• Liquid at the temperatures of liquid water.
  
• Swirling topaz in color.
  

Special Properties:

• Rapidly 'loses' heat within moments unless heated to the temperature of molten steel.
  
• Expands as it approaches a solid state, with a difference of 20% volume between solid and molten state.
