Rootsteel is iron braided with living vine-filaments, forged in root-bound foundries of the Nokhul Vale. The resulting metal flexes slightly under stress and hums faintly when near strong life auras.

Velkar sky-riggers and Fleaspark tinker-knights prize Rootsteel for cables, armor, and tools. When exposed to blood, Rootsteel sprouts spines that can pierce cargo hulls or armor, so traders wear thick bark-gauntlets and handle it under strict rites.
