Androxine Vortex
Archmage
In one of my novels, there is sort of a "last city of mankind" and mankind is nearly extinct from the relentless attack of the demons. It may not make sense to you now but just know that the demons can only have free reign at night (or I might just make it midnight, not sure yet)
Anyway, all of man has sort of fled to this huge, gated and heavily fortified city/fortress. Everyday they are forced to fight and keep the demons at bay. So what would they do with broken metal? Could they take broken armor and sort of re-forge it into new armor? How would this work? Would it be easier to just melt it down and make new metal? Keep in mind that this is the last city of man and therefor their ability to gather fresh supplies is very limited living within the walls of their fortress.
*I was thinking of having the humans melt down holy artifacts and such and make them into armor and weapons to fend against the demons
(And I have it planned that there are secret tunnels in place deep underneath the fortress-city so that the people there can go to secluded locations far away and grow crops and gather other materials)
