Among some bardic circles it was said that mithral combined with steel could create adamantine, but according to dwarves this claim was laughable. It was believed by some that dwarves simply did not wish to perform this difficult feat of metallurgy for anyone outside their race, unless they possessed an exceptionally good reason |
