(Rewording of history - there were a number of confusing sentences that didn't quite make sense unless you went through and read the associated wob. Also adding a note about the cerrobend cite, though I'm not up to trying to find it currently.)

== Trivia ==
* In an original mockup of the complete Table of Allomantic Metals, this metal was named cerrobend. However, the word cerrobend was a trademarked, commercial name for the metal, and so [[Brandon]] was forced to use bendalloy instead.{{cite|According to Chaos this apparently comes from a pre-official Allomantic table which may or may not be findable}}
