Just give my input to the discussion on the Iron and Steel and
properties of both as described in the Elder Secrets.
Maybe the whole problem is with the native Finns. Because I too got
the same impression as Mikko from the Elder Secrets. That, somehow
only the iron was poisonous to Elves/Trolls and Werevolves, while
Enchanted iron was called Steel with no special properites excluding
the added strenght. Personally I thought this was a bug in the
writing and just ignored it, but still the impression from the text
was exactly same.
Apparently this passage is quite easily missread by at least some
Finns. Maybe it is just a language thing.
Cheers,
Tero
