Bronze
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, made and worked as well by the Markish as by the dwarves and the Skelds. Its purposes and fabrication are much like those of the mundane world.
Recycling
Bronze statuary was common in Ys in the time of the Velasian Empire. That statuary represents much of the source for recycling.
Bold opportunists raid Ys from time to time, but the empire placed statuary far and wide. Statues are damaged and the scrap salvaged, and in some cases whole statues are dismantled in clandestine workshops.
