Full Lore

Aurum, more commonly known as gold, is a moderately rare mineral found in ore veins all across the world. It holds no immediately obvious special use for it is incredibly brittle and makes for very poor armour and weaponry based on durability alone. Gold is mostly used as a decorative ore more than anything else due to its rarity and naturally gleaming beauty, but that said it remains significantly stronger than Arcarum and use may be made of it in combat, but Iron (Ferrum) will always be the most useful resource in this field. Gold however does hold some interesting properties. For reasons unknown gold acts as a preventative against beings of a spectral nature, and the use from this can be employed in a variety of ways. The most obvious would be to forge swords out of gold as they would cause significant damage to spectrals entities while an Iron sword would do very little - it is as if gold acts as an anchor to physicality, and using it against spectral entities like ghosts, gravens, wraiths, harbingers and wights, forces a rapid demanifestation. Often across the world do the descendants lay down gold plates along the ground, as it prevents spectral entities from passing over them. Even if the spectral creature is able to hover over the barrier still they would find themselves unable to pass - the gold shatters their manifestation to the plane, and a forced attempt to breach the gold barrier would cause instant demanifestation, also known as death.
