Dragonbone is a material that is created from the bones of dragons. It is used to make many items of value because of its rarity and its special properties.

Dragonbone is black due to its high iron content. It is as strong as other metals, such as steel, yet lighter and more flexible. Rare dragonbone bows are highly sought after,[1] as they can outrange even goldenheart bows.[2]
