'''Gornar''' is an earth-aligned metal, very similar in properties to [[rhimar]], [[zorchar]], and [[drakar]] in every property aside from its elemental alignment. Gornar is a relatively recent discovery in Elanthia due to its rock-like color and consistency.

Gornar has a tendency to vibrate uncontrollably. Due to this unusual property, weapons constructed from gornar may [[flare]] causing additional [[impact critical table|impact]] [[critical]] damage to a struck opponent. However, this same property may also be troublesome for a weaponsmith attempting to forge the metal, as it can very easily shake loose from the grip of a pair of forging tongs.

Gornar is one of four materials that has an enchant bonus similar to mithril and a natural flaring property. The other natural flaring materials are [[rhimar]] ([[cold critical table|ice]]), [[drakar]] ([[fire critical table|fire]]), and [[zorchar]] ([[lightning critical table|lightning]]).

Gornar is always a ruddy brown color, often mistaken for stone due to its similarity in look and feel. It is found deep within the earth, often going unnoticed in mines since its appearance blends in with the surrounding rock. This may account for its rarity, as the Dwarves discovered it fairly recently and it has since been looked for and traded widely throughout Elanthia. Its natural enchantment is equivalent to that of mithril.

Because of its unusual ability to unleash a blast of intense vibrations, like that of an earthquake, some legends say that gornar deposits are the remnants of powerful earth elementals that have been destroyed by their creators. A smith must be careful when forging this magical metal, as it can shake right out of the forger's grip very easily.

Gornar is one of four materials that has an enchant bonus similar to mithril and a natural flaring property. The other natural flaring materials are rhimar (ice), drakar (fire), and zorchar (lightning).
