The Atlantean followers of Rheia were blacksmiths of unsurpassed skill who mastered a unique method of distilling zinc ore. When the distillation was mixed with brass, the result was the silvery metal orichalkos. Strong enough to stop the heaviest of blows, mail of orichalkos is also extremely lightweight when quenched in sea water - the perfect armor for archers and other missile troops.
