Overlapping azure scale plates raised across every face, dark at the root and throwing cold blue along each edge, with a brighter azure medallion set behind every numeral to hold it clear of the texture. The numerals are cut down into the faces and filled warm copper, real recessed geometry carved into the die so the metal sits at the floor of each glyph, and the warm metal is what keeps them readable against all that blue. The full polyhedral set, plus a d2 and a d16, all scaled to match.

Frost drakes are the northern cousins of the red wyrms, and their hide is the harder trade: it takes dye badly, so a counterfeit gives itself away the moment it warms in the hand. The true scale stays cold no matter how long you hold it, and the blue deepens rather than fades where the plate overlaps. Armorers who work it fit copper rather than silver, since silver goes invisible on it inside a season.
