'''Veil iron''' is a powerful and extremely rare metal that has the unique property of draining the magical energy of things in close proximity. The natural enchantment of veil iron is +25, equal to that of [[golvern]] and [[krodera]] as the highest metal. Its strength is second only to golvern itself. Veil iron is black or charcoal grey in color with blue or white speckles or streaks.
'''Veil iron''' is one of the most rare metals in [[Elanthia]], the purest samples of it almost too valuable to price. Found within large meteorites that have fallen from the sky, veil iron is incredibly strong and durable. When forged, it usually has an enchantment slightly higher than [[vultite]], and the most pure form of veil iron has the ability to drain items of magical power within close proximity. It is predominantly black or charcoal grey in color, speckled or streaked with small bits of white or blue.


Despite its rarity, it is believed that veil iron was one of the first metals to be found and utilized as a tool by the intelligent races, as the source of veil iron is said to be meteors falling from the sky, making the metal easy to acquire after impact.
Veil iron was actually one of the first metals found by the denizens of Elanthia, long before any empire rose or fell, even before the [[Ur-Daemon]] war. Veil iron spearheads from long-ago ancient tribes that existed during the Rule of [[Drakes]] have even been found, and paintings depicting meteors falling from the sky have also been seen on the walls of caves from the same long-gone people.
