Root of the Mountain
A material shrouded in legends and mystery, Root of the Mountain is an ore that almost every dwarf considers holy. Legend tells that when the mortal plane was being shaped and forged, Domm held the mountains to together and to the surface with long and winding roots of metal and ore. Other tales tell that when the Dwarven people were brought about into being, Domm placed the excess raw materials into the earth at random, forging this ore in the process. Regardless of whatever tale is true, none can doubt that the metal is holy to Domm and his faiths. Possessing remarkable strength and durability, Mountain Root is used in everything that it can be acquired for, although it most often finds its use in various ceremonial fixtures as well as armor and weaponry. It is quite common to see this gleaming reddish-orange material in the center of Dwarven shrines and churches.
