Weapons and Armor, by different materials

There are many different materials, made under different circumstances and different methods. Below
are some of these materials found in Trudvang, as well as the modifications they have when used as
armor, weapons and shields.
To be able to modify these objects, please refer to the standard materials in the lists of armor, weapons
and shields in the books. The three most common materials are; fur, wood and iron.
Since some of these materials are quite common, and others very unusual and sought after, the price
will have a multiplier based on the standard materials used for the object.
This information is from an old version of Trudvang Chronicles and translated from Swedish. Your GM
should have the last say when it comes to modifications and multipliers mentioned here. I converted the
information to better fit Trudvang Chronicles, but feel free to change whatever seems weird.

Alfarka
Alfarka, or almagnit as it’s also called, is the unusual type of wood elves use to make weapons and
armor. The material has an unusually light, golden brown color, and is both bendy and tough. Alfarka is
quite rare which makes objects made by this material just as rare. All weapons, shields and armor
usually made of iron or wood can also be made by this material.

Bone
Bone from animals or humans are primarily used by wildfolk and trolls to make intimidating armor. The
yellowish bone-material can be used for making armor and weapons that are usually made of wood or
iron. When it comes to bows, only the arrowhead is made of bone.

Bronze
Bronze is an alloy made of copper and tin, with a red/brown metallic shine. All weapons can be made of
bronze. The alloy is commonly made in the Stormlands and very easy to use. Bronze is softer than iron.
All weapons, shields and armor usually made of iron or wood can also be made by this material. When it
comes to bows, only the arrowhead is made of bone.

Brotbeast bone (not in the English version of Trudvang, a kind of Wurm that eats stone and metals)
Brotbeast bones comes from the skeleton of the Brotbeast and is very hard and tough. The skeleton and
teeth are gray and is excellent to use for tools, weapons and armor. The Brotbeast is enormous and rare
beasts which makes their bones very sought after and few have even heard of it. To be able to handle
these bones you’ll need at least Level 3 in the specialty “Hard Materials.” All objects usually made of
wood or iron can be used of Brotbeast bones. When it comes to bows, only the arrowhead can be made
of bone.

Skin, scale and teeth of Dragons

The Dragon, or wurm, is a legendary creature with astonishing powers. Its skin is harder than metal, and
its claws and teeth as well. The scales of the dragon protect it from a dragon’s breath weapon. All
objects usually made of wood or iron, can be made of dragon teeth and claws and all objects usually
made of fur can be made of dragon skin. When it comes to bows, only the arrowhead can be made of
dragon teeth and claws.

Gold
Gold is the golden metal that relates to kings and wealth. Gold is a pretty rare metal that can be find in
the stomach of dead Jotuns and Tursirs. Its seldom good for making weapons, and even though its bulky
some use it for parts of armor. All objects usually made of wood or iron can be made with gold. Armor
made from gold will only protect half as much against fire compared to iron armor.

weapons and armor. All objects usually made of wood can also be made of iron.

Copper wood
Copper wood is a rare and tough type of wood. The material is dark and tough for being wood.
All objects usually made from wood can also be made from Copper wood. When it comes to bows, both
the bows themselves and the arrowhead can be made of Copper wood. It’s especially sought after as a
building material since it’s resistant to dampness and wetness. It is also said to be able to hold and keep
Vitner, sometimes even inherently holds Vitner. (Vitner info from the English version)

Linen
Linen is a weaved material that is airy, but still lends a basic protection. The material is yellowish, and
nature colored. Linen is used foremost in Westmark where it is used in many layers to provide a flexible
armor or padding. All objects usually made from fur can be made from Linen.

Mitraka
Mitraka is a legendary and extremely rare metal that the dwarves discovered deep down in their
underground mines. It’s light, tough, hard, beautiful and easy to handle, at least if you know the proper

Legendary smiths can forge the metal. All objects usually made from wood and iron, can be made from
mitraka. When it comes to bows, only the arrowhead can be made of mitraka. Armor made of mitraka
get an additional +3 PV against fire.

Ironblood iron
Ironblood iron is the scarlet alloy that is created by mixing iron with the blood of the Jarnwurm (p. 116,
Jorgi’s bestiary). This iron is incredibly hard and can be sharpen extremely sharp which leads to weapons
forged from this iron does a lot more damage. There is one downside though, and that’s its weight;
everything made from Ironblood iron is bulky and heavy. Ironblood iron is extremely rare since
Jarnwurms are seldom seen anymore. All objects made from wood or iron can be made from Ironblood
iron. When it comes to bows, only the arrowhead can be made of the iron. Armor made with Ironblood
iron double its PV against fire.

Silver
Silver is a heavy and brittle metal, though it’s also very beautiful and sought after by many. Silver is
more common than gold with the rich as inlays in armor and weapons since it’s both sharper and easier
than gold. But it also breaks easier. All objects made from wood and iron, can be made from silver.
When it comes to bows, only the arrowhead can be silver.

Stone
Stone is hard to use, but easy to find. It’s primarily primitive people and dwarves that use stone to make
weapons and armor. Normally stone is used as building material. All objects usually made of wood or
iron can be made of stone. When it comes to bows, only the arrowhead can be stone.

Wood
Wood is the most common material for making weapons after iron. It’s also extremely easy to find
wood, the availability of wood is especially good in Trudvang. Wooden weapons without a tip of iron is
quite rare and used mostly by very primitive people. Items made out of iron, can usually also be made
out of wood.
