Dlarun
This bone-white metal, sometimes known as
icesteel, can take a high polish and is often mistaken for
ivory when seen in finished items, but has a distinctive
greenish sheen in candlelight. Dlarun ore is found in the
clay dug from riverbanks, and when first refined it is soft
and easily carved. A second heating makes it hard and
durable. This property makes the metal ideal for decorative
work and figurines.
Armor made from dlarun grants fire resistance 2.
Weapons forged of dlarun inflict +1 point of frost
damage each time they hit (this is cumulative with other
abilities, such as frost or icy burst). Items not primarily
of metal are not meaningfully affected. (A longsword or
a suit of chainmail is affected, while a spear or a suit of
studded leather is not.) Dlarun can never be used in a
magic item that uses fire effects, such as a flaming or
flaming burst weapon.
Dlarun weighs the same as steel, has hardness 10, and
has 30 hit points per inch of thickness.
Market Price Modifier: Armor +2,000 gp; weapon+1,500 gp.
