So, I love Critical Role, and I love the Tael'Dorei Campaign guide. I like that that it introduced three new materials to be used for stuff; whitestone, orichalcum, and what I call Strife Iron.
For those of you who don't have the campaign guide, or haven't come across these material yet, here's a synapses. Whitestone is a material that comes from the Allabaster Sierras and is REALLY GOOD AT ENCHANTING THINGS. We got a brief section on it and its uses in the book. Orichalcum is a rare metal from a mountain range in the west known as the Daggerbay Mountains. It's the (supposedly) long dead lifeblood of a primordial titan. Since it's only mentioned in a story hook, its understandable we didn't get a section describing what it does, as with the Strife Iron. Strife Iron doesn't say specifically if it has magical properties, but considering it's the material that made up the armor of the Strife Emperor (Maglubiyet) when he was in his ginormous avatar form, it would make sense.
As I mentioned, we got a section describing whitestone and what it does. Orichalcum is obviously magical in nature, and Strife Iron is a bit more debatable. My question is, what could these two metals be used for? I mean, the blood of a titan, and the melted down metal of a god's armor! They've gotta do something cool, right?
