Void Iron

Void Iron is a rare metal mined deep within the earth, close to the roots of the world, by the races who live there. It is black, lustrous, heavy and strong, and can be shaped into armor and weapons. It is named primarily for its appearance: not only is it solid black, but it does not even reflect light, instead seeming to absorb it, like a void.

Protection against Magic

The most important and unique property of void iron is its resistance to magic. Any spell thrown at it is simply absorbed, as if it never existed. For this reason, it is highly prized by all those who fight magi and other magical beings, especially the Inquisition. Extremely rare and valuable, possession of a void iron artifact is a mark of true prestige.
