From 1809 onward, light metals, such as magnesium, aluminium, and titanium, were discovered, as well as less well-known heavy metals including gallium, thallium, and hafnium. The earliest known metals-common metals such as iron, copper, and tin, and precious metals such as silver, gold, and platinum-are heavy metals.
A density of more than 5 g/cm 3 is sometimes quoted as a commonly used criterion and is used in the body of this article. Despite this lack of agreement, the term (plural or singular) is widely used in science. The definitions surveyed in this article encompass up to 96 out of the 118 known chemical elements only mercury, lead and bismuth meet all of them. More specific definitions have been published, but none of these have been widely accepted. In metallurgy, for example, a heavy metal may be defined on the basis of density, whereas in physics the distinguishing criterion might be atomic number, while a chemist would likely be more concerned with chemical behaviour. The criteria used, and whether metalloids are included, vary depending on the author and context. The Revival of Akalabeth has begun.Heavy metals are generally defined as metals with relatively high densities, atomic weights, or atomic numbers. Alas, much damage had been suffered unto the lands. British of the White Light was proclaimed Lord British, Protector of Akalabeth. British, Champion of the White Light, did battle with Mondain deep within the labryinth of dungeons, eventually driving him from Akalabeth forever. There arose from the land a man, pure and just, to battle the Dark Lord. Mondain cast such sickness and pestilence upon Akalabeth, that both man and beast lived in constant fear. Now blood flowed freely in Akalabeth, and foul creatures soon came to roam near the surface.
He sent thieves, skeletongs and snakes to dwell near the surface, and daemons and balrogs to guard the depths. In these dungeons he unleashed more evil. He created deep dungeons, so deep and extensive that their lower depths had never been explored. Many years had Mondain traversed the lands of Akalabeth spreading evil and death as he passed. Mondain, second born of Wolfgang, a great king of old, wished to gain his brother's inheritance, and so he used his great powers for evil. 'Tis said that long ago peace and tranquility covered the lands, food and drink flowed freely, man and beast lived in peace, gold and silver abounded - it was the Golden Age of Akalabeth.
