Titanitum

Titanitum  (also called Titanitoom) is a yellow-orange metal used to make weapons and armor. Orks are famous for their use of this mineral to create orkish equipment. The titanitum is melded with steel, at a low temperature to prevent the metal becoming brittle. Orkish armor is heavy in weight and usually of superior orkish craftsmanship, although any sufficiently skilled smith can craft it. Orkish weapons were less common during the First Era and of varying quality. Veins of the mineral are commonly found in Groundbrim. Stallin, an avatar of the Vlatamere, is called the Titanitum God of the Vertical Sword. He brought titanitum weapons to the Mole-men during the First Era, which allowed them to win the war with the Elves. Volodari were also known to create Titanitum statuettes depicting Stallin holding a severed head. The Bronze Watchtower of Volodar is possibly made from the metal.
