Glacier Steel

Glaciersteel is a rare, cold-resistant alloy forged using Froststone. This shimmering, silvery-blue metal is prized for its strength and resilience against icy environments, making it a staple material for Kan Guruhm’s weapons and armor.

Properties

Material Characteristics

Color: Metallic silver with a faint blue shimmer.
Texture: Smooth, slightly cold, and polished to a glass-like finish.
Temperature Resilience: Capable of resisting extreme cold and even absorbing small amounts of frost magic.

History & Usage

History

The creation of Glaciersteel was a breakthrough by the Kan Guruhm’s smiths. It’s now synonymous with Kan Guruhm’s craftsmanship.

Everyday use

Weapons and Armor: Used by warriors in cold climates for its protective qualities.
Structural Supports: Ideal for reinforcing buildings in the coldest regions.

Industrial Use

Glaciersteel is key for machinery that operates in cold environments and in magical infrastructure where temperature management is crucial.

Refinement

Froststone is melted with iron where controlled enchantments help merge the two materials without causing thermal instability.

Manufacturing & Products

Once refined, Glaciersteel is forged using traditional methods but requires constant temperature monitoring. It’s often forged into blades, armor, and components for large machines.

Hazards

Thermal Instability can occur if Glaciersteel is exposed to intense heat, causing fractures. Mishandling can also lead to frost burns from prolonged contact.
