Froststone

Froststone is a rare, crystalline mineral found only at the highest peaks of the Clersea Pinnacle. Known for its striking icy-blue color and frosty surface, it radiates a slight chill, even in warmer climates. Due to its magical properties, it’s invaluable in both temperature-resistant armor and magical engineering.

History & Usage

History

Long coveted by the dwarves of Kan Guruhm, Froststone has been essential for crafting materials able to withstand extreme cold. Legends say it formed from the primordial ice of ancient gods, giving it unique magical traits.

Industrial Use

Highly sought for magical devices requiring cold-based energy, as well as cooling systems for advanced machinery.

Refinement

Mining and refinement are delicate processes requiring skilled dwarven miners. Froststone is transported to special forges where it’s broken down, ground, and processed under carefully controlled temperatures to avoid shattering.

Manufacturing & Products

Often forged alongside other metals to create compounds, like Glaciersteel. Froststone can be carved, embedded, or powdered into enchantment dust.

Hazards

Improper handling can lead to frostbite or hypothermia. If damaged, it may release intense cold bursts, freezing nearby items.
