unlike most fae, merfolk are not harmed by exposure to iron, and even enjoy working and handling it. they do, however, display a strong aversion to lead, and have a mild distaste for tin.
there need to be charts of metal compatibility with various creatures
all we really know for sure is
- fae don't do iron
- merfolk don't do lead, cadmium or mercury
- merfolk like iron-triad metals, copper, and silver
- merfolk adore iridium
- everyone loves titanium
