I expect that there would only be one or two names for it. One culture discovers the stuff, then another culture gets some of it from the first, asks what it is called, and uses that word. And so on. Elves or dwarves likely found it first, and the word spread to the other cultures from them. |

Where can it be found on the surface of Faerun ? I know there is some in Tuern but where else can it be found as a trade resource ? Probably in the cities having connexions with underdark but I cannot find any list.
Anyone knows ?
Thanks |

Yeah thanks. But these are only mineable deposits. I would be interested in any source of adamantium available on the surface. I mean if Duergar get some from underdark mines, I don't care, but what is important is which surface city they sell it to, so that the resource becomes available for trade with the rest of Faerun overground.
I've found that you can get some in Skullport. |

| Drow also mine it, so maybe in places where there is commerce with the night elves. |

Barastir is right. I would think that the drow of Sshamath under the Far Hills would trade it.

| Yeah ok thanks. So the ore should be available to trade in Darkhold. Any other idea ? |

Seeker le Chmakus,
I think the issue you may run across here is that you are really referencing a vertical supply chain problem. Raw materials are mined, then go to one or more raw material refining plants, or another supply chain distribution center that then has established trade routes that send the adamantine to refining plants.
I promise you no such economic plans have ever been completed. Someone a month or so ago told me that Ed had started working on that kind of material and TSR/WotC tanked it.
I would suggest mapping out the raw material mining points, looking for distribution nodes that meet a certain GDP or higher, and use those as a distribution or refining center with the assumption being that if their listed GP maximum limit is high enough they must have the plant, property, and equipment to refine and/or distribute that raw material adequately. From there you can look at supply chains that move on to pre-wholesale distribution points for a retail end point.
Best regards,
