M'aiq has heard ebony is not a metal at all, but wood! Can you imagine? But then, he has also heard ebony is the congealed blood of a god, so who can say? M'aiq is not an ebonysmith.

@lyingkhajiit I once read a book with a section on ebonysmithing. The book said that if you weren't careful, ebony would shatter while being forged.

Which makes me wonder, how the hell is it supposed to be a good material for weapons and armor if it is that fragile?
