Gold and Tin:

I've always used this nugget of info for the basis of the sky metals. Tin is pure sky, and then gold is a polluted variant of tin used by Yelm.

Silver:
This metal confuses me, its seems to be associated with the night sky, stars captains, etc. and the middle air, The Red Moon and Orlanth, but also has power over those touched by the night or moon, werewolves. Any clarification on this would be helpful

Bronze:
Strangely, missing from the list. I associate it with the air and storm.

cheers,
Mick
