The mithril in masterwork is made from silver and/or found near/in silver veins ;)  But deon has to replace adamantine with something tolkien-esque and there is nothing but mithril.

As in Genesis (where it's aluminum + stuff).

Maybe different types of mithril should be fine... Something like deep mithril with better qualities.
Although I already have troubles with dwarven migrants arriving in dragonscale armor, so I should be careful with this :).

Mithril though had to be turned into a alloy before you can fashion it as metal as its too soft at its pure form.

Dragonscale armor is a tanned_skin ? I know the SPECIAL tag restricts things from trading/migrants, but I think its only for inorganics.

No, it's metal smelt from scales. [DEEP_SPECIAL] on metal should fix it.

I think the nameless things would be in volcanos and chasms. They lived 'far below the deepest delvings of the dwarves,' after all.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Well, forgotten beasts should work like nameless things too :).

Now I just need a shitton of tiles. Especially for new races.
