With the addition of Galvorn, it became clear that the player has access to or at least some insight into, the methods of Eol, the Dark Elf. However, it has been conformed that there is unlikely to be any weapons/tools implemented made of Galvorn. This rather disappointed myself and several members of my squad, especially one member whose favorite weapon in all LOTR lore was Anglachel/Gurthang. This was somewhat of a let-down for numerous players.

My proposal is this: to add some sort of weapon to mimic or imitate those crafted by Eol in the First Age.

This could take several forms:

1: Simply adding weapons/tools made of Galvorn. This may not be consistent with lore, but it is most straightforward.

2: Adding a new metal, to be called "Meteoric Iron." This could be done in several ways. Firstly, it could take the form of veins with a rarity similar to Mithril or other rare ores (due to its value). These would represent meteors fallen in past years. Or, possibly, add a meteor mechanic similar to that of Galacticraft's, which occasionally spawns in meteors (or 'fallen stars' as they were called in the Silmarillion) that tumble to the ground and can be found in their craters. This would be less straightforward, but definitely fascinating.

3: Add in a sword in a fashion similar to Anduril, Sting, and Ringil. This would take little time at all.

4: Allow for Morgul Iron or something similar to be alloyed with, say, Edhelmir in a Dwarven forge, to create the meteoric iron. This is least consistent with lore, but would add a special challenge to obtaining the metal to make swords of Eol's craft.

This is a bit rough, but I think it might be worth looking into. Please feel free to critique this suggestion in the comments.
