'''Iron''' is the base element that [[steel]] is made from. It is softer than steel, due to its lack of impurities, and weapons crafted from it tend to weigh more than and bend and dull easier than even [[bronze]] weaponry. <!-- Even if that's not true in the world of Elanthia... I severely dislike when imitations of real world metals are made, but the properties compared to other metals are not maintained. Oh, just ignore me. -->

Iron is produced through a complicated smelting process in which the iron is extracted from its ores. While sometimes just as strong as steel, it normally loses much of its strength when worked. Many blacksmiths work in iron to satisfy the needs of those of little fortune, but the conversion of iron to steel makes for a much stronger and lighter material that can be strengthened through tempering processes.
