Korpustel

Korpustel is a fictional material that appears in the fantasy novel "The Obsidian Gate" by author K.L. Miller. It is described as a dense, dark, and highly resilient substance with unique properties that make it valuable for crafting weapons and armor. The material is said to possess a natural resistance to magical energies, making it a formidable choice for warriors facing enchanted foes. Its rarity contributes to its high cost and the prestige associated with items crafted from it. Korpustel is often mined from deep underground caverns, where it is believed to form under immense geological pressure and in proximity to residual magical ley lines. The process of working korpustel is described as exceptionally difficult, requiring specialized tools and techniques due to its hardness and inherent resistance to conventional forging methods. Despite these challenges, its superior durability and protective qualities make it a sought-after commodity among the elite military forces and wealthy adventurers within the novel's world. The discovery and control of korpustel deposits are often points of conflict and strategic importance for various factions.
