This shall be my masterwork, an accounting of everything I know about the ores, metals, and alloys of Tamriel. First: Iron, in all its many and wondrous varieties. We begin with Bog Iron which, true to its name, is "mined" by digging in ferrous peat, within which pea-sized nodules of ore can be found by the assiduous bog-iron seeker. Bog iron is prized because iron forged from its ore is often highly resistant to rusting, which naturally makes it perfect for a variety of applications.
