But isn't it also likely that the Zarosians may have infact used Invictum armour for their melee troops?

Looking at the appearance of that, kind of bears a resemblance to a 'Mahjarrat-Roman' type of design:



OO! That should teach me to ignore the non-lore videos. Well, that is definitely special enough to create Second Age Necronite (which I suppose I should call Invictite). There should be deposits of that at the borders of the former Zarosian Empire rather than at Third Age sites. I can't imagine much of it being manufactured in the Third Age after the empire fell, although there might have been large caches of it found during the Third Age and used by besieged Zarosians or Zamorakian and Saradomist adventuring parties. We might have to firstly discover where the Zarosians mined the ore for it and how they smelted/forged them in that case? Perhaps its also what the Torva armour was forged from and the ones being worn by the 'ancient warriors', unless Invictum was only for the higher ranking people like the officers+. The ore name is also Latin and seems to translate to mean 'invincible': https://www.indifferentlanguages.com/translate/latin-english/invictum

This part to be discussed separately: (Although I'm personally going for Aetherium, to add I feel that next tier of ore might have either Armadylean or Saradominist origins however. It feels like the same metal used to forge the godsword blades before enchantment by their appearance/strength.&quot

Thanous is a pale, greenish-white, powdery rock formed primarily of bone which burns with a brilliant green flame and a sound of distant screaming. When necrolith is heated in the flame of thanous it does not melt or sag but rather stretches and rises as if straining for something. It forms itself into the plates and shapes of armour and weapons, though bizarre and misshapen. A skilled smith can guide and correct this process and create usable and extremely powerful equipment. The resulting necronium has a dark blue sheen and is still covered in the skulls and bones of the dead that grant it strength.

I wonder if this Thanous concept survived the review process. I think it is neat that Necrolith substitutes in Thaous into the ore + coal = metal formula . It be nice if Drakkurlith, Invictite(?), and Aetherite(?) had similar fuels to feed the furnace flames/alloy with the metals.

From the Wiki page on the mining and smithing rework it sounds like coal will be unnecessary for the higher tier metals except for making the smelting process faster. I still haven't watched the actual video. Too damn sleepy do it right now unfortunately. Don't want to risk falling asleep while listening to Mod Raven.

Aetherium is definitely more Armadylian than Saradominist.



Armadyl's symbol is on the gauntlets (especially evident on the masterwork).

The Helmet evokes the shape of an aviansie's head (the curved point at the front resembles a beak, while the flourishes at the back resemble a feathered crest (see Taw'Paak and Armadyl)).

The boots on the masterwork possess a talon-like extension the regular variant does not.

As such, I'd expect deposits of the ore to be found particularly in locations that were under Armadylian control during the time of the God Wars (ex: the Empyrean Citadel and Abbinah).
