I've been doing some research for my Iron and Chaos setting regarding bronze, iron, and steel.In the world of Iron and Chaos, there are cultures with differing technology levels, so I need to read up a bit more on the subject and then "game-ify" it so that - for example - the difference between a bronze sword and a steel sword has an in-game effect.

If you are interested in the subject, here are a few links I've been checking out. I will be happy to post any additional information and sites that I find if anyone is interested

A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying - NPC "Septon Garet"

Septon Garet was once a soldier. He fought during Robert’s Rebellion for the Targaryens and, having seen enough bloodshed and atrocities, embraced The Seven and became a septon when the war was over. He serves House Gartner in their sept, performing religious services and maintaining the family crypts.

This is the NPC record for House Gartner's Septon. Feel free to download, modify, utilize, and horribly murder him in your own games.

You can grab him right here: Septon Garet
