(And if it is the same Star Metal or something else.) I'll be interested to know how much detail that goes into.

Is Star Metal something mentioned in the RPG or the original novels? Or is this something invented for Conan Exiles?Īpparantly, there is also a mention of alien materials in the Temple of the Elephant. The Star Metal Bar article says that "You can also collect Star Metal Bars from the skeletons at the Ruins of Xullan" so presumably the civilisation that used to be there collected Star Metal and did stuff with it. I'm not sure if those quotes on the articles are from Conan novels or if they are things made up for the video game, but this is essentially an ore that falls from "Conanspace" that can be smelted down and turned into a ton of items. This strange material is not as easy to work with as earthly metals, but those of esoteric skill have devised a way to smelt star metal ore, with a technique that employs brimstone and black ice, to create ingots. This fallen metal from the sky, be it a gift from the gods or a curse from the wells of night, has mysterious properties that sages and sorcerers are only beginning to understand. At will steel blossoms bloom in unnamed gardens, or flower-swords flash in the moonlight. The People of the Black Circle wrote:All substance is one to him who holds the key of the cosmos' he said cryptically.
