The Curse of Iron
The Druids of Fridon call it The Curse of Iron. They have seen it many times over the ages. Once a person uses weapons of iron they can never put them down again. Inescapably, quick or slow, others will come for their iron. Or those around them will seek their own iron out of fear, tearing up the earth and felling the forests for fire to shape it. They will build stongholds and castles to keep it in their possession. They will enslave people to build for them and to work their fields. It will consume them and change them and all around them. And that is why The Druids and the wild elves and the hillmen of Fridon bury iron they find, praying for it to sleep again as they return it to the earth.
