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.
