Zedylrian Steel

Xendrian Steel is an indestructible and immensely sharp alloy originally forged during the days of the ancient Xendrian Empire. It is exceptionally sharp and tremendously strong, yet light, keeping its edge forever without the need for sharpening. Xendrian steel is recognizable from its sharpness, as well as a distinctive rippled pattern visible in blades made from it.

History
Xendrian Steel began in the ancient Empire of Xendria, formerly the grandest empire in southern Aqulonis before the Kalahese Empire. The original creator was a Xendrain alchemist named Waldorfran, who hoped to raise his status in the empire with his creation. Instead, he was imprisoned and forced to teach others how make more of the steel he invented, eventually producing enough weapons and armor for an entire army. The use of this special alloy allowed the Xendrians to use indestructible armor and weapons to conquer their rivals with minimal resistance.

For many years the Xendrian Empire kept the method and formula for forging Xendrian Steel a closely guarded secret while keeping Waldorfran in captivity; but after the original creator sold the method to escape captivity, the alloy became the instrument of the Empires destruction.

After the fall of the Xendrian Empire, Waldorfran, too proud to destroy the secret, hid the formula and method for forging Xendiran Steel in hopes that no one would find it. He then killed everyone he confided the method in, and committed suicide without ever telling where he hid it. Regardless, the many thousands of Xendrian Steel weapons soon fell into random hands.

Fortunately, most of the blacksmiths who tried to forge more either failed to do so, or ruined the steel by trying to reforge them into new weapons. Consequently, the number of true Xendrian Steel weapons and armor dropped to only a few thousand by the 26th Century; Only a handful of master blacksmiths still know how to reforge Xendrian Steel without ruining the alloy.

Properties
Xendrian Steel is forged through the transmutation of certain metals through the process of alchemy.
