Iron. Common trade good (metal), 0.2 gp per kilogram. Iron is a widely-mined metal of a dark gray color. Though it is incredibly abundant within earth, extracting iron in usable amounts requires one of various nuanced techniques. In the modern era, iron is the most widely used metal in various tools, weapons, and armor. This is in part due to iron's abundance, but in part due to the properties of iron that make it easy to shape and sharpen but difficult to break once cast. Technically most forms of iron used are alloys with small but significant portions of other material to further enhance its durability or other properties; steel, most famously.
Unrefined iron ore is usually too heavy and has value too inconsistent to be easily traded as a good. Iron is typically traded in refined but unshaped masses measured by kilogram. Each kilogram of such iron is worth 2 sp. Rarely iron coins are minted or exchanged, with 500 of them being worth 1 gold piece.
