Aaaand done with the spirit metal art! This also happened to be the first colored piece I've done after tweaking a bunch of stuff on procreate and now the colors actually match my main monitor 8D Very pleased.
ANYWAY as I expected, the basic explanation of these got way long 8') Couple of things I had to just skip over for now but I hope its still interesting! Okay here we go
Spirit Metal is a type of material related to ancient sion's funerary customs. Normally when (any) being passes, their spirit would move on and eventually be reborn one day as someone else. Because the ancient sions were constructs and it took sooo much time and work (and trial and error) before they even became sapient, Ahveph could not stand the idea of any of it's children dying and then their souls going to the beyond. To one day Not be sions anymore. So to combat this, it built them in such a way that when one died, their soul would congeal into "Spirit Metal". The soul itself is basically in a 'frozen' state instead of being aware of anything going on anymore.
In it's raw state spirit metal is a very irregular lump of - you guessed it - metal, or at least that's what it appears to be. The average size is a bit smaller than a closed fist. It has a gray-ish base color with a more golden shimmer, and it glows with a soft light. Most of the time it does form inside their body, though it can form outside as well, depending on how they died or how fast it was. It is worth noting that sions don't decay like a normal fully organic being like humans or shapeshifters do, they actually melt, as being dead their body is no longer producing enough magic to hold itself together. (Ancients are also a little bit different from modern sions here, and they have different body handling practices as well, but this is a whole convo best suited for another day.) Anyway, the point is that its actually not too difficult to get the metal out, usually you can already see a bit and then just pull it out of the melting stuff.
Once you have a piece of spirit metal ore, it can be forged. It's special properties are that it doesn't stick to any other spirit metal, so no, you can't meld individuals together, and that it doesn't separate from itself either, so you can't split it into pieces, it HAS to be worked as one piece. Otherwise, it can be thought of as similar to gold. It's soft for a metal and easy to work with, though at the same time means that it can't be used for armor or weapons - though forging them this way wouldn't be too proper anyway.
The reforged shapes are called "Spirit Houses". The shapes they use vary a bit depending on region and by circumstances*, but most people are going to be reforged into a "good" house. The most common shapes tend to be geometric and kind of flat, though they may have various levels of detail added on - I just did a mega basic example here. Most of these are going to end up in a special type of shrine either hanging or on shelves. Sometimes they will be forged into fancier shapes depending on what the person's interests were. Some examples are fish, feathers, books, etc, even animals like that rabbit. The main constraint is the ore size and not being able to separate pieces.
*In an event with multiple casualties (battle, accident, etc) they will temporarily reform the ore using a quick method, such as sandcasting, so its a lot easier to transport, then they'll reforge it once they get to a more appropriate location.
On the other side of things, there are also "bad" houses that people can be reforged into. These ones are considered to be disrespectful to the spirit and these are usually done deliberately. (In cases of accidentally disrespectful they will be reforged so we're not talking about that here.)
Some examples: Technically, because the metal won't separate from itself, it can be spooled out into thread, but this is deeply uncool. This is said to be "stretching out the spirit" so excessively long shapes are considered bad. Similarly too many holes or too big a hole is "punching holes in the spirit" so those are also bad. Also while they use some thread, rope, etc, excessive rope use is "tying up the spirit". You get the idea.
As I said this is actually done on purpose. For example if ore was collected from a member an opposing group (after battle for instance) then they will forge them into a Bad shape. They will also do this with prisoners (as in uuusually people who have committed some type of major crime) who have met their end one way or another. That Keyhole shape is favored for that as it combines the stretched shape/big hole/excessive rope. Instead of putting bad houses in shrines they may be put on display somewhere else as "an example." Although again, the soul is frozen and doesn't actually care about any of this.
When the cataclysm / plane split occurred, the immense amount of magic involved caused all of the spirit metal to break, finally releasing those inside and letting them move on. The sions that were still alive at the time were just completely obliterated and they directly moved on into the Beyond instead of forming any ore. Broken spirit houses are still found by archeologists today, and while it's fairly clear they had something to do with grave markers, they have no idea what they have now has completely different properties. The houses are no longer malleable and seem to just be broken pieces of fired but purposely unglazed pottery. They even have kind of gritty textures on the outside while the inside seems to have turned into glass.

Magical Natural Resources PT 2 Metal
Adamantine: armor made from it is resistant to crits
Deadstone: a grey rock that is often found coated in a dust of itself due to the way it breaks down, it has natural anti magic properties. When worked into armor or weapon it will prevent the wielder from casting magic but will give them advantage on saving throws to resist spell effects, those hit by attacks from deadstone weapons have disadvantage on concentration saves
Mithril: armor made from this metal provides advantages for stealth, mithril weapons an extra damage die when attacking from stealth
Floatstone: a naturally levitating rock which when ground into sand dust can be mixed with iron to create incredibly light weapons and armor (half weight, weapons +1)
Bleeding Ore: its surface is liquid while the inside crystallizes solid, it is a highly acidic metal which is commonly used as a base to make stronger acids, it can also be mixed with iron to make weapons dealing acid damage that melt away nonmagical armor on critical hits
False Ice: weapon made from it deal cold damage and reduce the movement speed of enemies who fail a Con DC, looks near identical to ice other than its high melting point, molten false ice even resembles boiled water. Armor incorporating it grants resistance to fire damage
Smithstone: a metal ore often found in streaks along cave walls that give off a red hot glow, it is actually always red hot naturally, weapons made from it deal fire damage and can ignite flammable substances, Armor incorporating it grants resistance to cold damage
Magnetic Iron: a variant of iron ore with a strong magnetic charge, weapons made from it deal lightning damage, and armor made from it grants resistance to lightning damage
Death Metal: a toxic ore which releases its toxic dust when mined. It can be made into weapons of equally toxic deadliness. Metal weapons deal extra necrotic damage and cause a Con Save or be Poisoned, Damage and DC determined by blacksmith, forms branching spiky white crystals
Swinepearl Gem: a multicolored crystal which when ground into sand and mixed with metal ore can be made into weapons which deal psychic damage
Sunstone: Sunstones could be made into talismans, usually in the form of jewelry, that acted on undead just like full sunlight. Can also be ground into sand and mixed with metal to make weapons dealing radiant damage
Ringrock: this stone rings a low tone when struck, when made into a weapon it deals thunder damage, armor incorporating it grants resistance to thunder damage and disadvantage on stealth
Cold Iron: weapons made from this metal are highly effective against fey, spirits, devils and demons and deal an extra damage die to such creatures, armors made from it reflect a portion of the damage back to such creatures
Silver: can make silvered weapons with it, repels lycanthropes, shape changers, and other creatures weak to silver
Ghostrock: visible in the material world but can only be mined in the ethereal plane, if held or carried by a creature as they reenter the material plane the rock will travel with them and retains its ethereal qualities, weapons made from it can strike enemies in the ethereal plane and material plane, an arcane focus made from it allows the attuned wielder to cast Blur once per day without expending a spell slot
Invisible crystal: a crystal like gem that forms on cave walls, the crystal itself is invisible making it appear as though there are holes along the cave walls they form on, can be ground into dust of invisibility or be shaped into a blade, weapons made from it are invisible and thus easy to hide on your person, and easy to lose. When shaped into an arcane focus the attuned wielder can cast invisibility once per day without expending a spell slot
Abyss Ore: this ore gives off magical darkness often darkening the caves in which they are found, weapons made from it deal an extra damage die when attacking a creature in darkness, when shaped into an arcane focus the attuned wielder can cast darkness once per day without expending a spell slot
My smithing rules for weapon bonuses are based on the crafting roll DC:
Damage: DC 10 1d1, DC 15 1d4, DC 20 1d6, DC 25 1d8, DC 30 1d10, DC 35 1d12
Hit Bonus:  DC 10 +0, DC 20 +1, DC 25 +2, DC 30 +3
Saving Throw DC is the crafting roll halved
Damage resist for armor requires a DC 15 craft roll

Cameroon CEMAC Gold Permit
How to get around an already issued CEMAC Permit. A Cemac certificate is issued by the government of Cameroon to show that you are an approved buyer of gold and diamonds.
The government controls the goods, diamonds, or gold and secures that the seller is paying the export fees. The government ministry of mines then arranges for the shipment to the buyer.
How to invest in Gold from Cameroon Africa in 2023, The Cemac is then supposed to guarantee the rights to purchase for a period of one to five years. The chance to get a real offer from a seller that accepts the Cemac certificate is as said earlier very high. But that goes for one reason or another for new Gold Cemac Permit certificates.
Exit permit scams online in 2023
If you already have a certificate then the sellers want to meet in Cameroon to meet and sign the agreement. The obvious explanation is that the sellers do not trust their government ministry of mines or it may be that the cost of exportation can be avoided. Exit permit scams in Cameroon
If you like me have learned from previous mistakes is that the seller does not have anything at all. When he could not catch the Cemac fee at least he can do something in Cameroon. Exit permit scams in Cameroon

I need your opinion on something; the spirit train from spirit tracks.
What material do you think it's made from? I figure the shiny goldish trimming is some kind of metal like gold or brass, the top part of the passenger car is probably wood and glass, and the red roof on both that and the locomotive is wood as well I think? But I'm not really sure if everything that's blue is wood or metal?
So, this is a multifaceted answer, because I have three separate opinions on it.
In my head, it's wooden. The default train you get for the tutorial is wooden, and metal trains to me either look silver or black.
Tumblr media
Adding to this theory is the distinct lack of bolts. Compare to the endgame arena, the Demon Train:
Tumblr media
Look how many bolts that baby has! Look how shiny it is! This is absolutely made of metal.
In broader Nintendo Lore (NOT LoZ lore), the Spirit Engine IS metal. Look how it's portrayed in Smash:
Tumblr media
The passenger car almost certainly has wooden frames around the windows, but on everything else, the edges have been made to look like metal, bolts included. However, I don't consider this design canon in the world of Hyrule, because it was worked on by different artists than the ones that made Spirit Tracks. What likely happened here is that they were shown a reference picture and told to make it into a stage.
Now, let's get into the worldbuilding answer. Based on it being a steam engine (and ignoring the fact that it doesn't use coal, instead taking energy from the tracks it runs on), wood wouldn't make sense to make an engine out of. The steam would warp it, the firebox is a fire hazard, and the damage this baby sustains as it rides would splinter to bits if it was made of wood.
Yes, I'm aware that there's a wooden train, but there's also a dessert train, and unless strawberry shortcake suddenly has structural integrity, we can't take the customized trains to be any more canon than the Nintendo Switch shirt Link can find in BotW.
But it's not plain metal, either. No bolts visible, and it's colorful. And it's something that hasn't been used in ages, a gift from the gods, without so much as a speck of rust on it.
You know what it does look like, though?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Crimsonine, Azurine, and Aquanine.
These metals helped make up the Phantom Sword in the previous game, Phantom Hourglass, and are the only thing capable of defeating the monster Bellum. With the Spirit Train, they could easily be what makes such a tanky-but-speedy, old-but-functional engine. The colors are a little duller than the raw ores, so maybe they patina over time, like copper.
But what about the gold?
I'd like to direct your attention to one more ore of a similar nature.
Tumblr media
This is called Master Ore. It's the material in A Link Between Worlds that's used to give the Master Sword more power. It has a similar crystal formation to the three Pure Metals, and channels magic well enough to defeat monsters with more ease than the regular Master Sword, of all things.
Granted, we find it in a different branch of the official timeline. But there's no reason a resource would just not exist between timelines, just not be widely known.
So, in short: I think the most likely answer as to what the Spirit Train is made of is Master Ore, the three Pure Metals, and possibly steel/iron alloys with the above metals for things like the body of the engine, the wheels and drive rods, and the metal of the cannon.

Honestly I love Tolkien's works so much but I think my favorite part about it is playing in the sandbox- more specifically I love developing lore and headcanons that compliment and flesh out things that were there, and add in things that are missing. I love thinking about pre-fall Arnor- what did Evendim export in terms of economy? What crops did they grow, what things did they make, how the geography would inform these things, etc- a lot of these things possibly only be hinted at in old relics and records not destroyed at Fornost or the passage of time. How would reconstruction happen in the Fourth Age? What do you focus on first? How do you preserve ruins of the past and yet build upon their bones in their memory? What alliances in Eriador could you make to help bolster the economy and make trade agreements? (I am not a "hur dur what's Aragorn's tax policy type of person bc this is fantasty first and foremost and there's a balance to be had.) I love thinking about post-fall of Arnor and the Dúnedain- they're mostly nomadic with at least one canon settlement and what that would entail. The horror of your people living through what seems like multiple end of all days. The hardships endured, the harsh lifestyle that would be followed-what does their diet look like? What would they carry in their bags? How often do they go out on patrol before coming back? Is there a system put in place so no one Ranger is too fatigued, and gets time to rest and recuperate? Older generations teaching the younger- and even Dúnadain who choose not to become Rangers, and still support their community in other ways; the weavers, the growers, the metalsmiths, etc... how tight knit everyone would be! My mind just bounces around with so many ideas with little chance to really put them down anywhere! That's just a small taste of what it's like to write with me lol.
#;ooc#(was on a call with luca the other day and he was listening to my ideas about what 4th age evendim and annuminas would look like in terms)#(of economy....i got so excited bc i LOVE annuminas and have been rebuilding the city in my head and redesigning it better)#(bc annuminas is to osgiliath as fornost is to minas tirith)#(former beautiful capitals of arnor and gondor that were abandoned and moved to fortresses instead)#(me in palpaltine voice: have you heard of the tragedy of arnor and the dunedain)#me: okay so annuminas would probably have a lot of timber and they could make BOATS bc the lake is FUCKING HUGE. like RIDICULOUSLY HUGE)#(me: so they could sail up and down the brandywine. they also have a lot of ore and metal so metalsmithing would be good)#(but their TEXTILES!!!!!!! THEIR TEXTILES WOULD BE SO IMPORTANT!!! WEAVING SAILS IS SO EXPENSIVE AND SO HARD AND LABORIOUS)#(love the idea of the dúnedain women having preserved and passed down the knowledge of theirweaving- even if its small scale for clothes)#(like numenoreans wouldve absolutely had some of the best boat makers and sail makers in the fucking world. you cant tell me they wouldnt)#(fuck you tumblr for tag limits)#(they wouldnt sail the FUCK out of lake evendim)#(boat making probably falls out of their knowledge bc. not very handy when youre a ranger......perhaps lost with time and fornost)#(but some things would be preserved in gondor too)#(anyways im rambling........i miss having other rangers to write with :'()
