Metals

Metal did not exist when the four elements were fist poured together to form Rojopotis, so no metals are naturally occurring (whatever that means in a world created and actively manipulated by gods, celestials, fiends, and primordial beings). Instead all metals have a story as to how they came to be in the world.

Draconic Metals
Gold, silver, copper, tin, and zinc are called draconic metals. They are created in the form of scales on metallic dragons. Over hundreds of millennia, as metallic dragons died or lost their scales, they have become buried in ground all over Rojopotis.

Soul Metals
A small handful of individuals posses the ability to create soul metals. They can seize a disembodied soul and craft it into a small piece of metal about the size of a coin. Very evil souls will result in black soul metal, sinmetal, which looks burnt or dirty, and is extremely heavy. Very good souls will result in white soul metal, saintmetal, which shines, even in darkness, and is extremely light. Most souls will result in gray soul metal, platinum. All are virtually indestructible.

Anti-fey Metals
When his children, the dwarves, were losing wars to the elves and their fey magic, Moradin created iron and gave it to the dwarves as a tool and weapon. Gruumsh One-Eye, creator of orcs and goblins, faced a similar problem but his children lacked the smithing abilities of the dwarves, so he created lead, a softer but heavier metal his followers could forge weapons out of using only simple fires.

Sky Metals
Starmetal, or adamantine, comes from meteorites and is extremely hard. Moonmetal, or mithral, is prized by dwarves and is extremely light. Sunmetal, or shimite, is imbued with power, and is so rare as to be seen by most metallurgists as only a legend.
