Metals have special meanings in tierin society. Some of the most notable ones:

• Iron: Strength
• Steel: Unity
• Gold: Pride
• Silver: Health
• Tin: Resourcefulness
• Aluminum: Flexibility
• Zinc: Family
• Copper: Law
• Brass: Education
• Bronze: Happiness
• Platinum: Hope
• Lead: Cleanliness
• Tungsten: Determination
• Nickel: Bravery
• Zuinande: Belligerence
• Living Iron: Insightfulness
• Bailaohu (also called tiaowonden): Prowess
• Dalim: Greatness
• Recorium: Faith

These symbols are always taken very seriously, considered to be guiding qualities for those with these metallic characters. A tierin whose personality does not match their metallic character is thought to have a hidden metallic character. The more mystical metals are very rare, and many have social roles they are required to fill. Dalim tierin are always expected to be mystics or religious leaders, for instance. Tiaowonden or zuinande tierin are often recruited to be warriors. Living iron tierin (who are distinguished from iron tierin by a certain hue) are recruited to education work. And recorium tierin, who are the rarest, are always priests. See tierin metal guide for more.
