Mithril

{{Material
 * materialType=Metal
 * hasDescription=Mithril is a metal used for weapons and armor. It resembles silver, but is harder than steel. Mithril never tarnishes, but always retains its beauty.

Origin
Mithril originated in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (and The Hobbit), but has spread to many different games. In many cases, the spelling is slightly different (mithral, mithryl, etc.), but generally is the same thing. In some cases, an entirely different name is used, typically referring to its silvery color.
