Tel'Quessir Steel

"The method of making a Tel'Quessir was lost when their Kingdom shattered during the Dawn of Srife."

At a Glance
Tel'Quessir steel was a form of relic metal forged in the days of the Tel'Quessir, the ancient progenitors of the Eladrin, Drow, and Wood Elves. Exceptionally strong and unthinkably sharp, Tel'Quessir steel could keep its edge with no maintenance and was prized for its unbreakable enchantments and near-impervious resistance to fire (once forged). Because of these reasons, blades forged with Tel'Quessir steel were incredibly expensive and were regarded as prized heirlooms or family trophies.

Regrettably, the means to craft Tel'Quessir steel was lost to history shortly before the Dawn of Strife and the fracturing of the Tel'Quessir race into its offshoots. Owing to the resilience of the materials and magic used to craft them, some Tel'Quessir steel have still been found 140,000 years later during the  Age of Adventure.

Tel'Quessir Weapons
With the secret to making Tel'Quessir steel lost to history, only a few have survived being lost to antiquity. Some include:
 * Arondite
 * A mace that found its way into the possession of the Dwarves of Hammertask, this weapon was purchased (at an abnormal sum) by Pym Whiffton during his days as an adventurer with The Fate Dancers. Originally lost in battle when Pym faced the necromancer Talmon Bott, this outcome was changed thanks to the assistance of a time-travelling group of adventurers. It was returned to Hammertask and wielded by Pym when he ascended the throne.
 * Celeste
 * Carried by Sitara during The First Necrotic War against Stirlar. Its fate remains unknown.
 * Fangstrike
 * Once owned by the King of Destoria, the blade was taken following a brutal challenge by the Vryloka of Castle Delhalla. Its fate remains unknown.
 * Persuasion
 * Carried by the Eladrin family Kiv'ludash, this ancestral greatsword was sought after by the sons and daughters of its house. Given to the captain or general of the highest rank in the family, it found its way into the hands of   Sadeer Kiv'ludash during the Age of Adventure.
 * Painstaker
 * Owned by the Drow leader Naggaroth, this dagger has remained at his side since the splitting of the elf-kin almost 140,000 years ago.
 * Misery's End
 * Carried by Phillip Pharlowe until his death, this bastard sword was lost beneath the ruins of the Tower of Lyne when the illusionist Moor cast his ritual, sacrificing the tower's inhabitants. Its resting place was further disturbed when, returning to the castle, Moor brought down every stone of its foundation, burying the sword for all time.
 * Justifier
 * With its origins unknown, this longsword was handed down to Lord Adrian Kirk by his father Richard Kirk, 30th King of the Kirkdom name, as a family heirloom. It remains in Kirkdom where it hangs on the throne of the king, guarded by a contingent of Adeptus Imperium.
