Ice

Ice in Rakk-Shikar comes in two varieties, the contaminated ice of the land and the purified ice that can be made from it. In Rakk-Shikar, naturally occurring ice and also snow will lead to any person who died on it or that was buried in it, coming back roughly 24 hours later as an undead. This also applies to animals as well although smaller animals such as birds and mice etc. seem to be exempt from this plight. The ice that is naturally occurring is also dangerous to consume. If eaten or melted into a drink without first being purified, it can result in sickness, organ failure, or sometimes outright death depending on how much ice is consumed and seemingly the location the ice was taken from. This ice can actually be purified as was discovered roughly a 1000 years ago by a desperate Elf adventure who was caught on the tundra. If the ice is first melted and then refrozen by either magical means or in a contained area away from the environment, such as a house or a cave system that has been blocked off from the outside world, the ice will be consumable. This ice can actually then be transported in large quantities as long as it is kept relatively contained. All ice made in this manner though seems to be able to be re-contaminated if left out in the elements for a sustained period of time.
