ABOUT

This clear, slightly blue-tinted liquid carries an unpleasant smell to it that few can concretely describe but which all describe as off-putting. Though its source is unclear and the stuff of myth, Blue Frost is an inherently cold and frigid substance that can vary wildly in taste - ranging from tasteless if not slightly sour to salty, to even tasting even stranger with tastes such as fruits, snow, ice, or in especially rare cases rotting flesh described on irregular occasions.
Though its source might be unknown, it is a substance created by the Dai-Yukai alone - and typically sees use in their frigid war camps to keep any slaves or indentured servants in line and bind them to the tribe that they now 'belong' to, for better or worse. It does not see frequent use outside of areas of heavy Dai-Yukai influence, though more insidious, evil, or enterprising merchants have made lucrative dealings buying the substance that the Dai-Yukai see as mostly worthless since it is so plentiful to them and selling it to underworld organizations as a tool to control the rabble. With its unpleasant side effects of lowering intellect but boosting strength, the unpleasant smelling liquid is ideal for keeping prisoners and other slaves and servants docile and stong.
However, true to its frigid mistresses that produce it through unknown means, it carries in it not only the blood of giants but also the curse of the Dai-Yukai - meaning that not only can it sometimes lead to a slight biological transformation into a giantkin(A process that the Dai-Yukai see as favorable, since it increases the target's survivability in cold weather environs), but in females in can bring about a deadly transformation into an undead spectre known as either a Yuki-Onna...or, rarely, their stronger sisters the Tsurara-Onna. While a terrifying backlash effect, it has not stopped either the Dai-Yukai or those who purchase this substance from taking advantage of it.
