Seriously, in a game with Dragons flying by, breathing fire on Mind-blasting, scheming Illithids, who attempt to take over castles that float in the air, those castles that are ruled by half-Demonic beings from another plane, and who are served by animated objects, wrought from mithral and adamantine...And it can't possibly be, cold iron, iron that has never been heated, iron that was mined from the ice sheets on Mount Gatheriel, treasured by King Mangyd of the Dwarves, before being wrought into a Great Axe for his bethrothal to the Dwarf maiden Glebdred?As to the commonality, that is surely something to be decided by the DM, to decide when, where and how common such weapons technology is. Just because it is called "cold iron" in no way implies that it is the substance we know as Iron, (Fe) on our periodic table, in any game. </blockquote>
