Icespire Peak
Icespire Peak was the tallest peak of the Sword mountains. The jagged, snow-capped mountain was so huge that in good weather it was visible from the nearest settlement, Phandalin, which was about 30 miles away.
When Icespire Hold was abandoned, it was damaged by an earthquake. Ten years later, an orc tribe led by the war chief Kra took over the fortress. The orcs' reign didn't last long because the white dragon Cryovain decided to make Icespire Hold its new lair. He gained access through the southwest section that was still damaged by the earthquake. Cryovain ate Kra and several other orcs, causing the remaining orcs to flee. The dragon then settled on the roof and occupied the fortress in the early 1st century.

A well-protected stone fortress called Icespire Hold was situated on the northeast spur of the mountain at an altitude of 2,500 feet (760 meters) and was surrounded by sheer, icy cliffs. It was only accessible by a narrow trail.When Icespire Hold was abandoned, it was damaged by an earthquake. Ten years later, an orc tribe led by the war chief Kra took over the fortress.
