Icewind Dale
Icewind Dale is an arctic tundra located in the Frozenfar region of the North, known for being the northernmost explored region in all of Faerûn. It earns its name from the harsh winds and icy storms that destroy buildings and scour the landscape.
The dale is a harsh, near-inhospitable land that regularly plunges below freezing temperatures, and receives little sunlight, particularly during the severe winter months. It is home to only the most hardened of frontiersmen, pioneers, and barbarians. Beyond the sporadic dots of civilization dwell terrifying beasts and deadly monsters of the North.
Geography
The dale is located south and east of the Trackless Sea, north of the upper Sword Coast and Spine of the World mountains, and west of the icy Reghed Glacier.
The dale was famous for its three, mineral-laden lakes: Maer Dualdon, Lac Dinneshere, and Redwaters.
The single solitary mountain of the dale was Kelvin's Cairn, a peak that offered fresh water to the surrounding lakes when "spring" bloomed every Midsummer.
