Adamantine

Adamantine, often referred to as adamantite, is a black metal found only in meteorites and the rarest of veins in magical areas deep beneath the earth beyond where human miners go. The drow are rumored to have an abundance of it. A few clans of deep-delving dwarves have also come across it, and most adamantine items found on the surface are of dwarven make. Adamantine is pliable but very difficult to work with when alloyed. Adamantine is harder than almost any other metal, save obdurium.

Kelanen's sword Swiftdoom is made of glassteeled adamantite.
