I have recently taken on the challenge to build a fantasy world for a 5e game that's probably not happening. Being a total newb to 5e makes it difficult but I've managed. I've had a much more experienced dm friend check it out and he says it's cool but it needs more I need help filling up my world with lore and items that are actually cool but lore based. Can I get HELPFUL insight and critique for this world I have built please.
History/lore of magiwill
The startower exists in the space between planes. It acts as an elevator to the other planes. At the same time however it also acts like a reality barrier that keeps the realms from "bleeding" into other realms which can be catastrophic to magiwill (example you don't want to have the plane of fire bleeding into the plane of water or vice versa). The planes usually have fluid borders which has caused terrible damage in all the realms which is why the startower has to be the borders. For example imagine someone casts burning hands on the "earth" casting that will cause the plane of fire to vibrate as if someone has put their hands in water. Then as the "magic waves" grow in size it will flow over into the other elemental planes then growing so big they flow into every other planes muddying the magic in those planes causing spells to be either more powerful than usual or not allowing casters to use the magic from those planes for up to 1000 years depending on how powerful the spell was when magic remains stagnant for such a long time Chaos rises from the 9th hell to conquer the multiverse
There was at one point one single elven pantheon, which included Lolth goddess of invisibility and stealth and spiders married to gruumsh god of war/wrath/vengeance and storms. then during the elven civil war the elves were split on what to do with the other races in the realm, the humans dwarves and halflings. Lolth and gruumsh thought the elves should destroy the weaker races with their superior numbers since there were so few of them but Corellon Larethian, and zol-narkin the sun God said no we shouldn't destroy them they may be weaker but they can still be useful. Lolth and gruumsh fought against Corellon Larethian, and zol-narkin bringing together their most loyal servants having them fight against the servants of the good elven gods. During the battle the Gruumsh and Lolth battled Corellon Larethian and his brother zol-narkin. During the battle Lolth lost 2 pairs of arms and gruumsh lost his right hand and his eye. His blood covered the battle field which turned his servants into orcs while lolths blood turned her servants into dark elves. The orcish mountain range is considered the hand gruumsh and lolths arms. The dark elves and orcs often marry and have half dark elf half orc kids. Their marriage ritual includes kidnapping 100 humans and 50 high elves, then the dark elf takes a knife and cuts down to their shoulder bones and the orc cuts their wrist also down to the bone before killing the humans and high elves as brutally as possible then bathing in their blood and having a blood festival. Ya brutal.
Lolth attempted an incursion 10,000 years ago but Corellon Larethian and his brother raised up a group of elven adventurers who ended the incursion.
Ages
The worlds history has been split into 7 ages all of which have spanned at least 5000 years
First age
the first age was the age of forces (working title). This age's length isn't exactly known since nobody actually knows how long the Order and Chaos entities were fighting but it's assumed to be about this time frame. The Order and Chaos entities fought for millennia one side would get a small advantage on the other but the other would then gain more power. This age was ended when Order trapped Chaos in the far realms.
Second age
The second age was the age of creation. After the first age was over and Chaos was trapped in the far realms, Order used her powers to create magiwill and all of the other planes and birthed the pantheons of gods who would rule over the realms and protect the them from Chaos's power. The second age ended when the first elves were created by zol-narkin
Third age
The third age is known as the age of the high elves. This age was full of huge discoveries including the discovery of magic and the discovery of the planes. The elves expanded their empire across the world and even into the other planes. This age ended when the elven civil war broke out. This age lasted for about 120 centuries its the longest age in known history and the first one with a real solid length
Fourth age
The fourth age was known as the age of division. This age saw the downfall of the high elven empire, and the creation of the different religions/races of elves from the orcs and dark elves to the wood elves. After the orcs and dark elves split the high elves only allowed their people to worship zol-narkin and the now wood elves didn't like that so they split away from the high elves preferring to worship nature instead of only worshipping Zol-narkin. This age ended once the wood elves split from the high elves this age lasted 100 centuries
Fifth age
The fifth age was known as the age of prosperity. this age was an unrivaled time of peace where in the past the realm's races were at odds with each other. this age bridged the gap between the races where elves would normally put up walls in their cities so only elves would be able to get in the cities. Now during this age and the ages to come the elves would be living next to the humans. Some elves even had children with the other races! The elves made an alliance with the other races in the realm called the Odin-Larethian pact with the humans, high elves wood elves, dwarves, halflings, and dragonborn. This agreement said that if any other races get into a war the other races in this agreement will come and help them (like NATO). This age ended when the grey war broke out. This age lasted nearly 1 millennia
Sixth age
The sixth age is known as the age of the grey war. This age was full of fighting, pain, and destruction. The orcs and dark elves rose up and sent their armies into battle against the forces of good. Gruumsh and Lolth tried to break free from their prisons in the 9th hell. The orcs and dark elves fought hard to empower their masters so they can break free from their prison. It almost worked too but thanks to the Odin-Larethian pact they failed to invade the realm. This age ended 15 years ago after the battle of orc mountain and the creation of the startower mages guild.
Seventh age
The seventh age is the most recent age for the last fifteen years there has been peace throughout the realm. Some small orc uprisings but besides that the realm has been clear of any danger.
Important leaders
Arcanos is an immortal high elf sorcerer who founded the arcane library. He was contacted by the God of knowledge, zerion-gal, and gifted with eternal life if he would store his all the knowledge in a single place. He is the avatar of both Corellon Larethian and zerion-gal. (The ultimate metagamer, he knows that everything in this world is just a figment of my imagination and that if he screws with me he will die he also knows that the gods themselves are weak against me. Anyone talking to him must take a D.C. 25 intelligence check to even understand what he's talking about since everyone thinks he's nuts Lol!!!) Legends say that he has mastered all of the magical arts in the tens of thousands of years he's been alive. he holds the only eye of arcanos a circlet that allows him to look into both Corellon Larethian and zerion-gals mind and gain more knowledge.

Most are pickpockets and thieves. They usually go into adventuring because they want protection from their hunters.

But more recently the creation of the mages guild helped the world heal. However deep in the mages library is the tome of all knowledge which can tell the orcs where the mask is.
Variant rule
When using evocation/conjuration/divination magic if you know a creatures true name (if the creature has one) you can use it and either deal more damage to that specific creature or have the creature be more powerful or selectively search for that creature. (Example there's a demon lord on the loose you search for it's truename when you find it you "enchant" your weapon with its truename and have your weapon be a +2 against that demon lord only to everything else it does regular damage if it doesn't already have an enchantment. Any spells used against it with its truename 1d12 extra damage.)
True-name template a creature with this template becomes one size larger gains +2 on every stat and magic resistance unless the caster knows the creatures truename and uses the creatures truename on his weapon.
Truename temporary enchantment
If a creature has a true name and you know it then you can "cast" its truename on a weapon which become a will add 3d6 force damage against that creature alone. The enchantment lasts for until the next dawn then disappears from the weapon
Campaign "theme" alliance building and item finding
Setting magiwill
Planes the planes are giant concentric ovals with certain planes touching other planes
The game begins in the city called startower a city of tremendous importance for it is the location of the startower mage guild the first of many guilds created after the Gray War ended 15 years ago. The creators built on this spot for it is one of two crossing points of nearly 200 planes. Here, Magic is extremely Powerful (a 1st level spell is more powerful than a nonboosted 9th level spell). It's a beautiful place. At the bottom of the startower guild there's a portal to anywhere in the planes. The startower guild was designed to guard the realm from destruction but most of the time they investigate stolen sweet rolls. That was until one day when an orc called Gavorkin killed the high elf headmaster of the guild Devorin Baot. After his death his son Travoris took over the guild. He then put together a the best warriors from multiple offshoots of the guild from all across the world to track down his father's killer (the PCs plus a few NPCs who will die). He brought the 8 of them to startower and explained their mission. Their mission was to head north to the orc tribe of Drenokao and try to reason with the orcs. Obviously the orcs didn't do a great job of listening (I mean try reasoning with creatures whose entire job description is to kill and kill brutally or be killed it just doesn't work) because they followed them and attacked the party. The four survivors fight (PCs). They also kill the orc who killed travoris's father. They get back to the city and are given a hero's welcome. Then the orcs come and attack the city with their entire clan of nearly 2 hundred thousand. They then kill the rest of the party and destroy nearly 3/4 of startower. The second group are the only humanoids to survive the attack each has their own story.
The rest of the world now is terrified of the orcs and they're worried that if they attack the orcs they'd open themselves up to an attack. Or if they survive the orcs onslaught they'd have barely anyone left to fight the orcs. Before the attack the skyvalor court mage, travinis varinsi, cast future sight and he saw a great darkness that would fall over the land but there would be a group of warriors who would stop the great darkness. He tried to tell the king of the city but he wouldn't listen. And now when the council of kings has him cast future sight all he sees he sees the same thing. Most of the realm is trying to arm themselves because their kings won't do it for them. Most of the rulers are wimps with the new 6 year old king of skyvalor, king Kiddio Imawymp being the chief. (5 minutes after startower fell, Imawymp let the orcs take his city and told the orcs "I'm not the real king he is I'm only 6 years old." He was pointing to his bodyguard very few people know what actually happened but the orcs were seen dragging a headless body out of the city. Neither Imawymp or anyone of his court have been seen since, most people say he allowed the orcs to take the entire city and the city was burned an hour later with 25,000,000 people still inside.) Aurile, the realm's second largest city, is home to the resistance. A fairly ragtag militia is trained by Akihiko Badasary the greatest warrior in the mage guild rivaled only by the new guild leader. he was on a mission to another part of the world when the orcs attacked.

World Organizations
Startower mages guild
As the worlds "police force" the startower guild protects the realm from any threats internal or external. They use magic as the last line of defense only if necessary. They teach their students to master the use of magic and how to defend themselves with magic and weapons. Without their enforcement the world is slowly descending into chaos.
Children of Chaos
this shadowy organization is known by many names but the most common is children of chaos. Most of the highest ranking members are advisors to kings whispering lies to have an innocent killed or put into prison or have a guilty criminal go free all in the name of chaos or generals sending troops into battle against helpless civilians with lower ranking members of the children of chaos as the front line, in fact the leader of the group a human called Sedem Damno is the wife of high king of the realm! They were formed in the void that was created when the shadow clan was destroyed 500 years ago. They believe that chaos himself can be returned to his full power once they gather enough dark energy which strengthens him
Sedem damno is the direct descendant of the original leader of the children of chaos. While the shadow clan was more brute force the children of chaos are more subtle. The damno clan has spent the last 500 years creating chaos in the realm. And now they are more powerful than ever thanks to Sedem damno.
The children of chaos believe that the only way to live is to live in chaos and that they need to destroy order in order to "perfect" the world. They also believe that when they die they become a part of chaos

Plane ideas/multiverse explanation
The multiverse is a series of several concentric circles magiwill being at the center and the smallest it's been said that there are potentially infinite planes in our multiverse alone. Some believe that there are even more multiverses that have their own deities and histories that have the chance to interact with their own multiverse. Magic comes from the energies of the planes when they intersect with magiwill
magiwill
A beautiful world with the best and worst of each plane
Elemental planes
The elemental planes are magiwill's source of elemental magic.
Upper planes
The upper planes are the source of all positive energies in the multiverse. It's locations include the hall of heroism (Valhalla) where all the multiverse's heroes can live on after death and can lay down their weapons and have the ability to rest for the rest of eternity
Lower planes
the lower planes is the source of all negative energy in the multiverse. Locations include the 9 hells, the shadowfell, other places that you don't want to visit anytime soon
Dream plane
the mindscape this plane encapsulates the the other planes and it houses the hopes dreams and fears of every being in the multiverse

Materials
Starsteel
The starforge is known for its creation of the metal called starsteel. The starforge takes advantage of the enormous heat generated by the portal to the plane of fire. These forges are the only locations in the material plane hot enough to melt star iron an absurdly rare material found in meteors. The amount of starsteel needed to make an entire suit of plate armor is worth about 100,000 gold pieces. When used in a weapon or armor you gain the charger feats effect
Monkmetal
This light blue and silver metal is so stupidly light monks often use it in their weapons to both deal more damage and to make them be better balanced. When the metal is used in any monk weapon it is 1 counted as an unarmed attack 2 can be held with one hand. If it's any armor it counts as unarmored for the monk and gives the monk +2 dex and once a day you can use (some number of) ki points to cast fly without material components
History/lore of magiwill
The startower exists in the space between planes. It acts as an elevator to the other planes. At the same time however it also acts like a reality barrier that keeps the realms from "bleeding" into other realms which can be catastrophic to magiwill (example you don't want to have the plane of fire bleeding into the plane of water or vice versa). The planes usually have fluid borders which has caused terrible damage in all the realms which is why the startower has to be the borders. For example imagine someone casts burning hands on the "earth" casting that will cause the plane of fire to vibrate as if someone has put their hands in water. Then as the "magic waves" grow in size it will flow over into the other elemental planes then growing so big they flow into every other planes muddying the magic in those planes causing spells to be either more powerful than usual or not allowing casters to use the magic from those planes for up to 1000 years depending on how powerful the spell was when magic remains stagnant for such a long time Chaos rises from the 9th hell to conquer the multiverse
There was at one point one single elven pantheon, which included Lolth goddess of invisibility and stealth and spiders married to gruumsh god of war/wrath/vengeance and storms. then during the elven civil war the elves were split on what to do with the other races in the realm, the humans dwarves and halflings. Lolth and gruumsh thought the elves should destroy the weaker races with their superior numbers since there were so few of them but Corellon Larethian, and zol-narkin the sun God said no we shouldn't destroy them they may be weaker but they can still be useful. Lolth and gruumsh fought against Corellon Larethian, and zol-narkin bringing together their most loyal servants having them fight against the servants of the good elven gods. During the battle the Gruumsh and Lolth battled Corellon Larethian and his brother zol-narkin. During the battle Lolth lost 2 pairs of arms and gruumsh lost his right hand and his eye. His blood covered the battle field which turned his servants into orcs while lolths blood turned her servants into dark elves. The orcish mountain range is considered the hand gruumsh and lolths arms. The dark elves and orcs often marry and have half dark elf half orc kids. Their marriage ritual includes kidnapping 100 humans and 50 high elves, then the dark elf takes a knife and cuts down to their shoulder bones and the orc cuts their wrist also down to the bone before killing the humans and high elves as brutally as possible then bathing in their blood and having a blood festival. Ya brutal.
Lolth attempted an incursion 10,000 years ago but Corellon Larethian and his brother raised up a group of elven adventurers who ended the incursion.
Ages
The worlds history has been split into 7 ages all of which have spanned at least 5000 years
First age
the first age was the age of forces (working title). This age's length isn't exactly known since nobody actually knows how long the Order and Chaos entities were fighting but it's assumed to be about this time frame. The Order and Chaos entities fought for millennia one side would get a small advantage on the other but the other would then gain more power. This age was ended when Order trapped Chaos in the far realms.
Second age
The second age was the age of creation. After the first age was over and Chaos was trapped in the far realms, Order used her powers to create magiwill and all of the other planes and birthed the pantheons of gods who would rule over the realms and protect the them from Chaos's power. The second age ended when the first elves were created by zol-narkin
Third age
The third age is known as the age of the high elves. This age was full of huge discoveries including the discovery of magic and the discovery of the planes. The elves expanded their empire across the world and even into the other planes. This age ended when the elven civil war broke out. This age lasted for about 120 centuries its the longest age in known history and the first one with a real solid length
Fourth age
The fourth age was known as the age of division. This age saw the downfall of the high elven empire, and the creation of the different religions/races of elves from the orcs and dark elves to the wood elves. After the orcs and dark elves split the high elves only allowed their people to worship zol-narkin and the now wood elves didn't like that so they split away from the high elves preferring to worship nature instead of only worshipping Zol-narkin. This age ended once the wood elves split from the high elves this age lasted 100 centuries
Fifth age
The fifth age was known as the age of prosperity. this age was an unrivaled time of peace where in the past the realm's races were at odds with each other. this age bridged the gap between the races where elves would normally put up walls in their cities so only elves would be able to get in the cities. Now during this age and the ages to come the elves would be living next to the humans. Some elves even had children with the other races! The elves made an alliance with the other races in the realm called the Odin-Larethian pact with the humans, high elves wood elves, dwarves, halflings, and dragonborn. This agreement said that if any other races get into a war the other races in this agreement will come and help them (like NATO). This age ended when the grey war broke out. This age lasted nearly 1 millennia
Sixth age
The sixth age is known as the age of the grey war. This age was full of fighting, pain, and destruction. The orcs and dark elves rose up and sent their armies into battle against the forces of good. Gruumsh and Lolth tried to break free from their prisons in the 9th hell. The orcs and dark elves fought hard to empower their masters so they can break free from their prison. It almost worked too but thanks to the Odin-Larethian pact they failed to invade the realm. This age ended 15 years ago after the battle of orc mountain and the creation of the startower mages guild.
Seventh age
The seventh age is the most recent age for the last fifteen years there has been peace throughout the realm. Some small orc uprisings but besides that the realm has been clear of any danger.
Important leaders
Arcanos is an immortal high elf sorcerer who founded the arcane library. He was contacted by the God of knowledge, zerion-gal, and gifted with eternal life if he would store his all the knowledge in a single place. He is the avatar of both Corellon Larethian and zerion-gal. (The ultimate metagamer, he knows that everything in this world is just a figment of my imagination and that if he screws with me he will die he also knows that the gods themselves are weak against me. Anyone talking to him must take a D.C. 25 intelligence check to even understand what he's talking about since everyone thinks he's nuts Lol!!!) Legends say that he has mastered all of the magical arts in the tens of thousands of years he's been alive. he holds the only eye of arcanos a circlet that allows him to look into both Corellon Larethian and zerion-gals mind and gain more knowledge.

Most are pickpockets and thieves. They usually go into adventuring because they want protection from their hunters.

Sentient Longsword
Stats 18 intelligence 19 wisdom 13 charisma
Lore- long ago there was a warrior whose passion for justice was like a fire. He personally made sure that the accused actually did the crime, but when he found the criminal he would go after them with the force of 100,000,000,000 suns. He made sure that his sword never tasted the blood of the innocent. Then he was murdered by his brother who tried to take the sword and use it for his own purpose to kill as many as he saw fit. But the sword wouldn't take an innocent life. He then realized that the sword held his brothers spirit and he then killed his brother.

Gorrnok the strong is the strongest pit fighter in the orc clan called drenokao. As a chaotic neutral orc Barbarian/fighter he fights over everything. It has been said that he killed 15 white dragonborn sorcerers, 10 werebear fighters and 12 elven mages casting dominate person on him just because they refused to give him any drinks with a constitution check attached! In every settlement across the continent orcs aren't allowed in but they "made an exception" considering he and his kind killed nearly 1/4 of the continent in the war that ended 15 years ago and those they didn't kill his kind sacrificed to gruumsh.

And to let gruumsh grow in strength so he could destroy the elven and human gods This war caused devastation all across the world it killed hundreds of billions on both sides. But more recently the creation of the mages guild helped the world heal. However deep in the mages library is the tome of all knowledge which can tell the orcs where the mask is.
Variant rule
When using evocation/conjuration/divination magic if you know a creatures true name (if the creature has one) you can use it and either deal more damage to that specific creature or have the creature be more powerful or selectively search for that creature. (Example there's a demon lord on the loose you search for it's truename when you find it you "enchant" your weapon with its truename and have your weapon be a +2 against that demon lord only to everything else it does regular damage if it doesn't already have an enchantment. Any spells used against it with its truename 1d12 extra damage.)
True-name template a creature with this template becomes one size larger gains +2 on every stat and magic resistance unless the caster knows the creatures truename and uses the creatures truename on his weapon.
Truename temporary enchantment
If a creature has a true name and you know it then you can "cast" its truename on a weapon which become a will add 3d6 force damage against that creature alone. The enchantment lasts for until the next dawn then disappears from the weapon
Campaign "theme" alliance building and item finding
Setting magiwill
Planes the planes are giant concentric ovals with certain planes touching other planes
The game begins in the city called startower a city of tremendous importance for it is the location of the startower mage guild the first of many guilds created after the Gray War ended 15 years ago. The creators built on this spot for it is one of two crossing points of nearly 200 planes. Here, Magic is extremely Powerful (a 1st level spell is more powerful than a nonboosted 9th level spell). It's a beautiful place. At the bottom of the startower guild there's a portal to anywhere in the planes. The startower guild was designed to guard the realm from destruction but most of the time they investigate stolen sweet rolls. That was until one day when an orc called Gavorkin killed the high elf headmaster of the guild Devorin Baot. After his death his son Travoris took over the guild. He then put together a the best warriors from multiple offshoots of the guild from all across the world to track down his father's killer (the PCs plus a few NPCs who will die). He brought the 8 of them to startower and explained their mission. Their mission was to head north to the orc tribe of Drenokao and try to reason with the orcs. Obviously the orcs didn't do a great job of listening (I mean try reasoning with creatures whose entire job description is to kill and kill brutally or be killed it just doesn't work) because they followed them and attacked the party. The four survivors fight (PCs). They also kill the orc who killed travoris's father. They get back to the city and are given a hero's welcome. Then the orcs come and attack the city with their entire clan of nearly 2 hundred thousand. They then kill the rest of the party and destroy nearly 3/4 of startower. The second group are the only humanoids to survive the attack each has their own story.
The rest of the world now is terrified of the orcs and they're worried that if they attack the orcs they'd open themselves up to an attack. Or if they survive the orcs onslaught they'd have barely anyone left to fight the orcs. Before the attack the skyvalor court mage, travinis varinsi, cast future sight and he saw a great darkness that would fall over the land but there would be a group of warriors who would stop the great darkness. He tried to tell the king of the city but he wouldn't listen. And now when the council of kings has him cast future sight all he sees he sees the same thing. Most of the realm is trying to arm themselves because their kings won't do it for them. Most of the rulers are wimps with the new 6 year old king of skyvalor, king Kiddio Imawymp being the chief. (5 minutes after startower fell, Imawymp let the orcs take his city and told the orcs "I'm not the real king he is I'm only 6 years old." He was pointing to his bodyguard very few people know what actually happened but the orcs were seen dragging a headless body out of the city. Neither Imawymp or anyone of his court have been seen since, most people say he allowed the orcs to take the entire city and the city was burned an hour later with 25,000,000 people still inside.) Aurile, the realm's second largest city, is home to the resistance. A fairly ragtag militia is trained by Akihiko Badasary the greatest warrior in the mage guild rivaled only by the new guild leader. he was on a mission to another part of the world when the orcs attacked.

World Organizations
Startower mages guild
As the worlds "police force" the startower guild protects the realm from any threats internal or external. They use magic as the last line of defense only if necessary. They teach their students to master the use of magic and how to defend themselves with magic and weapons. Without their enforcement the world is slowly descending into chaos.
Children of Chaos
this shadowy organization is known by many names but the most common is children of chaos. Most of the highest ranking members are advisors to kings whispering lies to have an innocent killed or put into prison or have a guilty criminal go free all in the name of chaos or generals sending troops into battle against helpless civilians with lower ranking members of the children of chaos as the front line, in fact the leader of the group a human called Sedem Damno is the wife of high king of the realm! They were formed in the void that was created when the shadow clan was destroyed 500 years ago. They believe that chaos himself can be returned to his full power once they gather enough dark energy which strengthens him
Sedem damno is the direct descendant of the original leader of the children of chaos. While the shadow clan was more brute force the children of chaos are more subtle. The damno clan has spent the last 500 years creating chaos in the realm. And now they are more powerful than ever thanks to Sedem damno.
The children of chaos believe that the only way to live is to live in chaos and that they need to destroy order in order to "perfect" the world. They also believe that when they die they become a part of chaos

Plane ideas/multiverse explanation
The multiverse is a series of several concentric circles magiwill being at the center and the smallest it's been said that there are potentially infinite planes in our multiverse alone. Some believe that there are even more multiverses that have their own deities and histories that have the chance to interact with their own multiverse. Magic comes from the energies of the planes when they intersect with magiwill

A beautiful world with the best and worst of each plane
Elemental planes
The elemental planes are magiwill's source of elemental magic.
Upper planes
The upper planes are the source of all positive energies in the multiverse. It's locations include the hall of heroism (Valhalla) where all the multiverse's heroes can live on after death and can lay down their weapons and have the ability to rest for the rest of eternity
Lower planes
the lower planes is the source of all negative energy in the multiverse. Locations include the 9 hells, the shadowfell, other places that you don't want to visit anytime soon

Materials
Starsteel
The starforge is known for its creation of the metal called starsteel. The starforge takes advantage of the enormous heat generated by the portal to the plane of fire. These forges are the only locations in the material plane hot enough to melt star iron an absurdly rare material found in meteors. The amount of starsteel needed to make an entire suit of plate armor is worth about 100,000 gold pieces. When used in a weapon or armor you gain the charger feats effect
Monkmetal
This light blue and silver metal is so stupidly light monks often use it in their weapons to both deal more damage and to make them be better balanced. When the metal is used in any monk weapon it is 1 counted as an unarmed attack 2 can be held with one hand. If it's any armor it counts as unarmored for the monk and gives the monk +2 dex and once a day you can use (some number of) ki points to cast fly without material components
