After I made some elven steel to create weapons, I realized that no race should be using iron for their weapons, since iron pretty primitive for forging weapons. There should be a steel for every faction that has their equipment sets. For the elves, each should have their own seperate steel. High elven steel would be the best of the three, but also the hardest to make. You would need to combine iron and coal in an elven forge to make it. For Galadhrim steel you would combine iron and mallorn logs in an elven forge to create it. It is easier to create than High elven, but since Galadhrim equipment sets and armor have less durability than High elven this would make it a bit fairer. Wood elf steel would be the easiest to make of the three. It would be iron combined with mirk oak leaves in the elven forge since its equipments have the least durability of the three elven factions. It would also make sense because of the greenish tint the wood elf armor and swords have. For Rohan their steel would simply be Rohan rock and iron in a new type of Mannish forge used by men. The Gondorian steel would be Gondor rock and iron in the same type of forge. Dunland would have no alloy, since they were primitive. The Mordor steel would be Mordor rock and orc steel in an orc forge. It would be used for the Mordor armor and equipment. Not sure what the Angmar steel could be created from, but it would be something similar to the rest. Dol Guldur steel would be orc steel and mirk oak logs. That's all I have for now, I think this would help balance out just using iron for some factions which is easy to get. The better alloys such as High elven, Dwarven and the Uruk ones would be a bit more expensive to create than the others. Thanks for reading!
