IIRC the only reference to their creation was in the BRRB and there isn't anything there that gave the impression they were necessarily created before bloodlines, nothing to say they weren't either - more of that intentional vagueness in the 2nd material.
Also I don't think there is any real restriction on tighmaevril only being used to make weapons, only that weapons made of tighmaevril have the special ability of bloodtheft.Duane Eggert

The reference in the BR rulebook says that they were created 2,000 years ago by the elven smith Ghoigwnnwd, which is around 500 years before the battle at Mount Desimaar, and 500 years before bloodlines existed.
It also says that the weapons were originally prised for their strength and beauty, and their bloodtheft power wasn't discovered until later when one was used to kill a scion.Let me claim your Birthright!!

The 2E BRRB stated that "Tighmaevril is a rare alloy created by an elf
smith named Ghoigwnnwd OVER 2000 YEARS AGO.
As the "current" date of the Ruins of Empire (Rule book III) is given as
1524 HC that means that Tighmaevril was created before there were
bloodlines.
