Mythology[]
| “ | The Atlantean followers of Rheia were blacksmiths of unsurpassed skill who mastered a unique method of distilling various metallic ores. When the distillation was mixed with brass, the result was the peculiar metal orichalcum. Strong enough to turn aside the heaviest of blows, orichalcum mail is also extremely lightweight when quenched in sea water – making it extremely versatile. | ” |
