The Seven Cities of Gold

[The_Universe]

They're usually referred to as 'El Dorado' or 'Cibola,' though some have conflated their legends with those of Atlantis, Thule, Tarshish, Lemuria, and other real life lengendary "lost" civilizations. While collectively called the Seven Cities of Gold in spanish (and south and central american legends), imagine for a moment that there are seven lost or hidden cities, but only Cibola itself is the City of Gold.

What elements/metals/materials would you associate with the remaining six (and what real world legendary lost cities would you associate with each)?

 

[I'm A Banana]

Gold, Silver, Copper, Brass, Adamantium, Mithral, Steel

 

[yennico]

Gold, Silver, Copper, Brass, Adamantium, Mithral, Steel

Instead adamantinum and mithril: platinum and titanium or mercury

 

[Roadkill101]

Brass, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Iron/Steel, Platinum, Aluminum

Can't think of any realworld lost cities off hand.....maybe because they're lost. Apart from Oz, isn't Seattle the Emerald City? Pearl of the Orient jumps to mind though I don't know that a single city is associated with that title. Jewel of the Nile?

 

[Morrow]

Brass, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Iron/Steel, Platinum, Aluminum

Pack up boys! We're going to the City of Aluminum to battle the Foil Folk.

Well, Dayton, Ohio is the gem city, but I don't see any adventures taking place there. OK, maybe eating at White Castle, but that's it.


My list:

Brass, Gold, Mithral, Adamantium, Iron, Diamond, Jade
