Armour which forms a rigid continuous covering and is made of iron. Iron armours are relatively rare. Its use is generally restricted helms, and small plates for spot protection. Iron armours offer good to excellent defense against all strikes.
Iron is a type of non-organic metallic material. Iron objects such as most weapons and strongest armour are derived primarily from this material. Iron is the most widely used metal in human history.
Iron is considered a valuable material and having mythical origins, and is used as ritual component or sacrifice for certain spells.

Availability
Iron does not exist as raw material in the game, and thus cannot be processed. Iron items must be bartered for by trading or looted from hostile NPCs. Iron items, especially weapons and armour, can most commonly be found available for trade in settlements of wealthy cultures like those of Driikiläiset or Reemiläiset, or found carried by foreign traders and Njerpez warriors.
Uses
Iron is the most powerful and durable type of general material available to peoples of Unreal World. When used as material for armour, its heavy weight necessitates using it mostly for critical spot protection only, such as for helmets, coudes and kneecops. Mail armour are also made from iron, but with more elaborate and expensive technique than simply working the metal into useful shape. Lamellar armour often consists of sewn-together iron plates, but can also be made from other, less durable, heavy and expensive materials.
Iron armour is almost always paired with under layer consisting of linen, wool, nettle or fur clothing, since it doesn't provide warmth value or much coverage of its own, and additional lightweight clothing helps reduce impact of blows on skin and body.
Most metallic weapons and many tools used by people are or can be made from iron. Iron is also used as the main metallic component of mail and lamellar armour material types, both of which have their own properties.
