This material gets referenced on the Jewellery Table but is not defined in the main text. What is it, please?

It's meteoritic iron, p. 452 of the 2e book.

Indeed: I cheated by searching the PDF for the page citation (though I remembered "meteoritic iron").

That's what we are here for!

And sweat at the daily round,
While in my soul forever
The drums of Pictdom sound?”

By Crom!!!
by Starmetal was Conan's Sword in the 90's animation. It "killed" Snake-Men and send them on an other plane.
This game has so many sword and sorcery references and i'm still finding them 4 years later.
