Ithilmar
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Ithilmar or Sky Silver is a metal favoured by the High Elves who are experts in creating both weapons and armour from it. [2a]
It is a bright, reflective silver in colour, and is known for being just as strong as steel while also being a great deal lighter and more flexible.[1] Notably the metal does not tarnish and can only be forged using other ores found in the same region. [2a]
Ithilmar is found in only one region of Ulthuan - Caledor on the black slopes of the Dragonback Moutains. [2a]
Weapons and Armour
Armour made from this metal is extremely light and often long coats of scale mail are made from it as well as corselts and high helms. Weapons retain their cutting edge but are also extremely light. [2a]
