3) What other effects do you think having a good source of AL would have in a fantasy game?
Honestly, in worlds with laen, eog, mithral, and dwarf/elf steel I really can't see the point in developing AL refining processes.
Also, doesn't AL corrode readily? In dungeon setting it would turn to into an oxide and considering the malleability of the element there's really not much use for it.
Now as a counterpoint I've found all the info this august body has shared regarding AL very interesting.
Happy New Year!!
