the objective

To make either
1. a weapon
2. currency

The rules
1. No outside research. Nothing beyond our own heads. No people, internets, or books.
2. The rules may change based on frustration levels and mental state.

The technology
This aspect of the project is still under some fairly heated debate. Do we have to MAKE our own charcoal or crucibles? Do we have to make the bricks for the kiln (if that's even how this is done)? More details will follow as we would like this to be a challenging project, but if we have to make everything, this is not going to happen.

The reason
It began as a walk through Mineral Basin. The question arose "Who was the first person to smelt iron out of rock?" Jabbering ensued. This project is the result of that question.
