			==In World of Warcraft==

			Adamantite was introduced in Wow's first expansion pack, The Burning Crusade, where it was only found on the planet of Outland... and, for some reason, on a single island on Azeroth that had no connection whatsoever to Outland. One would think that if any materials from Outland were to find their way into Azeroth, it would be in the same zone as the Dark Portal, since the Dark Portal is typically how stuff gets from Outland to Azeroth, but nobody at Blizzard was that smart. Also, out of all of the metals introduced in that expansion, it was easily the second-weakest or second-cheapest (behind Fel Iron). Khorium and Eternium were both better and more valuable "raw" metals, with Khorium veins being uncommon and Eternium ore only showing up as a surprise when mining other metals, and then there were the "processed" metals like Felsteel, Hardened Adamantite, and Hardened Khorium, which were what all the really good weapons and armor were made of.

			Then Wrath of the Lich King came along and all of this shit was outclassed by cobalt. Fucking '''''cobalt''''', man. That's not even a fantasy metal, or a particularly useful one in the real world. Cobalt is mostly famous for producing nasty fumes, having the same atomic weight as the mood slime from Ghostbusters II, and being named after [[Kobolds]] (sort of).

	Adamantium is the [[Khaine]] of materials in 40K, in that it is literally ''only'' ever mentioned or discussed in terms of how a given weapon can effortlessly cut or smash through it. The Worf of metals. In a way it seems to be one of those things where either a weapon is useless against it or adamantium is useless against the weapon. Nothing in-between.

			==In Exalted==
			In Exalted, adamant is the secret, SSR magical material. A clear blue crystal, stronger perhaps than any other substance, even the other magical materials, and rarer than any of the others as well. None of the canon Exalt types are resonant with adamant, save for the Alchemical's secret Adamant Caste. An Infernal can use adamant if it's tainted with vitriol, which is about the only place you'll see it in a non-Alchemical game.

			As you might expect, adamant isn't given the attention that the other magical materials are given as a matter of course. Its mystic themes and uses in artifice aren't explored. They don't even say where in Creation it comes from!

	'''Adamantium''', also known by similar names such as Adamantine, adminium, adamantite, etc., is a fictitious metal or alloy common in media that's generally held to be stronger and lighter than <s>titanium</s> steel (titanium is far from being the strongest metal, and saying it is will trigger every engineer and chemist who hears you), if not outright completely indestructible. At other times it is stronger but heavier. Possibly high-carbon steel. Vikings made high-carbon steel swords capable of cutting through shields, armor, and enemy swords and gave these magical blades to their greatest warriors.
