Resources XIX: Stage 0 Materials

Here are the raw resources I've researched so far.

But I have an interesting problem. A lot of these are ores with modern scientific names. That presents an odd immersion-breaker; a dwarf trader would (perhaps) not carry hematite. He'd carry red-iron, or something. However, I don't want to fall into the trap of making up too many names, while balancing that with playability.

For certain minerals, if only a few places produced it, it would make sense to call it after the producing nation or city. A good example is psilomelane, a manganese ore. Only 141 cities produce it. Of these, 10 cities control 50% of the total production: Nabib, Ashdinjem, Cusraq, Lahmanazlib, Rogan, Malia, Siaglen, Silil, Qoloob, and Crewnevanch. All great names to draw from: nabibite, Cusraq iron, qolooban. In an obscure, independent world, those would work great! Psilomelane is, after all, a Greek phrase meaning smooth-black, from the appearance of the stone. So all these things must be taken into account in order to present a consistent and immersive world to player. Having to memorize "qolooban" if you want to supply your blacksmithery is not terribly immersive.

But nonetheless, I will try.
