Targath is a soft metal mined on the northern coast of Argonnessen. Often fashioned into periapts of health, targath naturally possesses some of the qualities of those magic items. Even a small amount of targath worn or carried on the body grants a character a +2 resistance bonus on Fortitude saves against disease. Targath is, for reasons that are not clear, an anathema to the deathless of Aerenal. They shrink from its touch, and a weapon fashioned from targath can overcome their damage reduction. Perhaps fortunately for the Undying Court, weapons made of targath are inferior to steel weapons, imposing a -1 penalty on attack rolls and damage rolls. Targath has hardness 9 and 20 hit points per inch of thickness.
