Galvorn - Galvorn
was a jet black metal (probably an alloy) devised by the Dark Elf Eöl after he became greatly skilled in metalwork from the
Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost.
The unique metal was as strong as the steel of the Dwarves, extremely
malleable, and resistant to injury by metal weapons. Its
only known use is in Eöl's armour,
which he wore whenever he left his forest residence.
Sidenote: Eöl
taught all his secrets to his son Maeglin, who later
fled to Gondolin. So it is possible that the
Elf-smiths of Gondolin also learnt how to make Galvorn armour. In the story 'Of Tuor and his coming to Gondolin' in Unfinished Tales Tuor
sees the Guards of the City wearing armour of a
strange black metal. This is likely Galvorn.
Mechanics: Armors constructed of Galvorn provide a
unique Damage Reduction equal to Double the AC bonus
of the armor worn. Such armors have No Max Dexterity Modifier to AC, No Skill
Check modifier, and No Arcance Spell Failure chance.
Armor Hardness is generally 10 times the Armor Bonus.
Galvorn shields provide a +3 Hardness Bonus to the AC
normally gained by a Shield.
Weapons constructed of Galvorn provide a +3 Hardness
Bonus to Damage and bypasses Damage Reduction and Hardness of any non-alignment
based form. The
