Galvorn
History
Galvorn grew out of Eöl's skill of metallurgy skill he learned from his Dwarven friends of the Blue Mountains. Galvorn was said to be as hard as Dwarf-steel, while remaining supple and malleable. Eöl himself had a suit of black armour made from this metal, which he wore whenever he left his woodland home in the depths of Nan Elmoth.[1] It was assumed its secret died with Eöl as it is not mentioned in other writings.[2]
