Iron is a very important metal in Eoleon – given that iron ore, along with gold (hám) and silver (távas) is one of the three crucial ores keeping the Eolian economy afloat through imports. Iron smelting and the forging of iron tools and weapons are both highly respected crafts. Ornamented iron swords are considered works of art and prized personal possessions, and the most skillful blacksmiths can gain widespread fame.
