Freezing wind sweeps across the tundra, ceaselessly battering anything that dares grow or breathe in its domain. Even in summer, when the days stretch interminably long, the sun blazing low in the midnight sky brings no respite from the chill. Without fail, the wind finds its way through every chink and crack, every opening in the warmest furs, every tent flap, every roof and board of the strongest homes. It drains away any hint of warmth wherever it finds purchase.

The threat of winter's fury is never far away. The wind sweeping down from the Reghed Glacier howls its wrath and sometimes carries stinging sprays of ice in its grasp. The sun never rises far above the horizon even at the height of summer--and the height of summer is fleeting. During the rest of the year, sudden storms bring driving hail or sleet that leaves everything coated in a sheath of ice, or they bring snow that piles in deep drifts.

All this cold and fury is caged into one small region. The ice cliffs of the Reghed Glacier--the source of the never-ending wind--rise up in the east like prison walls, home to white dragons and enormous remorhazes. In the south loom the snow-capped peaks of the Spine of the World, crawling with orcs, goblins, and other monsters. North and west, the Sea of Moving Ice churns bergs and floes in an endless tumult, like winter grinding its teeth in anticipation of its next freezing assault.

And yet, such is the nature of life that even in this hostile place, it manages to lift its head in defiance of the biting cold. Lichens cling to weathered rock despite the battering winds, providing sustenance to herds of reindeer through the winter. Fish swim in the lakes and rivers that dot the tundra.

When summer comes to the tundra, life shakes off the torpor of winter and comes forth in full flower. Grasses grow two or three feet high in the span of weeks. Birds flock to the marshes formed in the thawing soil. Reindeer calves fill out herds that have been diminished through winter.

Of course, no region of the Forgotten Realms is without its people. Human tribes follow the reindeer herds through their annual migrations. Other humans dare the treacherous waters of the Sea of Moving Ice, in search of fish, seals and whales to sustain them. Dwarves dig into the earth to find shelter from the biting wind, mining for iron and forging weapons and armor.

Most improbably of all, civilized folk descended from foolhardy and treasure-mad immigrants from the south manage to survive and sometimes thrive in ten small towns. The wooden buildings of these towns provide only a little shelter from the cold and wind, and no protection at all from the attacks of orcs, barbarians, or the fierce tundra yeti. Though the towns are clustered around three icy lakes teeming with knucklehead trout, resources are scarce, and competition between neighboring communities can be fierce and occasionally deadly. But for all the dangers, people still live in the region known as Ten-Towns, and new arrivals--outcasts, fugitives, wanderers, and adventurers--still come to test themselves against the harshest environment known to the world.

This is Icewind Dale.

The Northern Means: The Northern Means is a very practical description of a practical road--the only real connection between Luskan (and the rest of the Sword Coast to the south) and the frozen lands beyond.

The Spine of the World: The high peaks of the Spine of the World shelter southern lands from the harsh cold of Icewind Dale. Crawling with orcs, goblins, and other monsters, the mountains are a dangerous barrier.

Reghed Glacier: The edge of the great Reghed Glacier rises like a wall to form the eastern boundary of Icewind Dale. The fierce, howling winds that blow off the glacier give the dale its name.

Kelvin's Cairn: The solitary mountain called Kelvin's Cairn stands among three lakes--Maer Dualdon, Lac Dinneshere, and Redwaters--that support Ten Towns, the closest thing to civilization that Icewind Dale can offer. Beyond this small region is tundra--nothing but tundra.

The Trackless Sea: The Trackless Sea extends from this, the western coast of Faerun, across thousands of miles to distant and mysterious islands. Here in the north, the sea is dominated by pirates from Luskan. Northlanders from the Ice Peak to the west, and Gundarlun and Ruathym to the southwest, challenge the Luskan ships for control over these waters.

The Sea of Moving Ice: The Sea of Moving Ice, frigid ocean waters littered with enormous icebergs in constant motion and collision, borders Icewind Dale on the west and north. Farther north, the icebergs solidify into the polar ice cap called the Endless Ice Sea.

Ice Peak: The frozen Ice Peak is a desolate island named for the crags on its northern side, home to the white dragon called Iceclaws. The town of Aurilssbarg, small as it is, dwarfs the smaller settlements of Bjorn's Hold and Icewolf.

Ten Towns: The Ten Towns are a loose confederation of localized fishing villages in Icewind Dale, bordered individually by the lakes Lac Dinneshere, Maer Dualdon and Redwaters, and the mountain Kelvin's Cairn.

Official decisions for the towns are made by a council consisting of one influential member from each town. These council members meet in the council building in Bryn Shander, which is unanimously recognized as the capital of Ten Towns, and of Icewind Dale itself, once a month during the summer season, and once every three in the winter. The current Speaker of Bryn Shander is Duvessa Shane, the first woman to hold this position.

The people of Ten Towns are predominantly human, with very few half-elves and halflings. Surrounded by the unforgiving tundra of the dale, theirs is a life fraught with danger; tundra yeti, barbarian, goblin and orc raids constantly threaten the towns, and only through their combined efforts and carefully honed defenses do they yet survive.

The Reghed Tribes: The Reghedmen are the barbarian tribes of Icewind Dale, also known as the men of the tundra. They eke out a harsh and bitter life between the Reghed Glacier and the Sea of Moving Ice. The Reghedman are tall - taller than most southerners by a head. They are fair-haired (blond, red, or light brown) and blue-eyed. Like the majority of barbarians, they are suspicious of magic, equating it with both weakness and evil. The only power they recognize is the power of a man's weapon arm and their god Tempos. Each tribe is formally ruled by a king. Known tribes are the Tribe of the Elk, the Tribe of the Wolf, the Tribe of the Bear, the Tribe of the Tiger, the Tribe of the Seal and the Tribe of the Caribou.

The Dwarves of Kelvin's Cairn: The valley to the south of Kelvin's Cairn is the home of the Battlehammer Clandwarves, formerly led by Bruenor Battlehammer and presently by Stokely Silverstream. From underneath this vale, the dwarves mine iron and forge it into well-crafted weapons and armor that are then sold in Bryn Shander, located at the other end of the valley.

For the most part, the people of the Forgotten Realms worship a wide variety of gods and goddesses, and for good cause. The deities of the Forgotten Realms are not distant, disinterested powers. The gods and goddesses routinely send their avatars to the Realms to perform special tasks, for weal or woe to those who cross their paths. Most people regularly venerate several deities, hoping to gain favor over aspects of their lives which deities hold sway. In general, most people have one deity which they consider a patron deity, i.e., the deity who will usher them from beyond the mortal coil, through the City of Judgment, to their final resting place beyond the Astral Sea.

In Icewind Dale, the vast majority Ten Towners pay heed to the Faerunian Pantheon. The Dwarves of Kelvin's Cairn pay homage to the Dwarven Pantheon. The Reghed Tribesman venerate Tempus and their ancestral spirit totems.

The year consists of 365 days: 12 months of exactly 30 days each, plus 5 days that fall between months. These days are special occasions. Leap year is retained purely for social convenience and provides a special day that is used as the basis for long-term agreements.

Months are subdivided into three ten-day periods. These periods are known variously as "eves", "tendays", "domen", "hyrar" or "rides" throughout the Forgotten Realms.

The Calendar of Harptos
1. Hammer (Deepwinter). January

Special Day: Midwinter. Midwinter is known officially as the High Festival of Winter. It is a feast where, traditionally, the lords of the land plan the year ahead, make and renew alliances, and send gifts of goodwill. To the commonfolk, this is Deadwinter Day, the midpoint of the worst of the cold.

2. Alturiak (The Claw of Winter). February

3. Ches of the Sunsets. March

4. Tarsakh of the Storms. April

Special Day: Greengrass. Greengrass is the official beginning of spring, a day of relaxation. Flowers that have been carefully grown in inner rooms of the keeps and temples during the winter are blessed and cast out upon the snow, to bring rich growth in the season ahead.

5. Mirtul (The Melting). May

6. Kythorn (The Time of Flowers). June

7. Flamerule (Summertide). July

Special Day: Midsummer. Midsummer, called Midsummer Night or the Long Night, is a time of feasting, music and love. In a ceremony performed in some lands, unwed maidens are set free in the woods and "hunted" by their would-be suitors throughout the night. Betrothals are traditionally made upon this night. It is very rare indeed for the weather to be bad during the night--such is considered a very bad omen usually thought to foretell famine or plague.

8. Eleasis (Highsun). August

9. Eleint (The Fading). September

Special Day: Higharvestide. Higharvestide heralds the coming of fall and the harvest. It is a feast that often continues for the length of the harvest, so that there is always food for those coming in from the fields. There is much traveling about on the heels of he feast, as merchants, court emissaries, and pilgrims make speed ere the worst of the mud arrives and the rain freezes into snow.

10. Marpenoth (Leafall). October

11. Uktar (The Rotting). November

Special Day: Feast of the Moon.  The Feast of the Moon is the last great festival of the year: it marks the arrival of winter, and is also the day when the dead are honored. Graves are blessed, the Ritual of Remembrance performed, and tales of the doing of those now gone are told far into the night. Much is said of heroes and treasure and lost cities underground.

12. Nightal (The Drawing Down). December

Once every four years, another day is added to the year. The day is part of no month and follows Midsummer Night. It is known as Shieldmeet. It is a day of open council between nobles and people; a day for the making and renewing of pacts, oaths and agreements; tournaments, tests and trials for those wishing to advance in battle fame or clerical standing; for entertainment of all types, particularly theatrical; and for dueling.

People
Aarun: Mithann's purported Harper contact. Suspects Ship Rethnor thugs may be wererats.

Algonell: Hunter/trapper who claims he was accosted by Luskan ruffians outside town.

Barton: Innkeep at Hooked Knucklehead. Sympathetic to Hengar's plight.

Brinna Alcott: Sells cloth and wool. Accused Hengar of stealing her lockbox.

Dunavan: Warehouser. One of his warehouses was burned to the ground.

Duvessa Shane: Speaker of Bryn Shander. Elected official.

Helda Silverstream: Came north on caravan. Dwarf merchant from Mirabar.

Hengar Aensgaard: Tribe of the Elksman accused of thievery and sentenced to death.

Master Hugglesward: Carvanmaster, member of Seven Fingers Trading Coster.

Mithann: Radiant Servant of Amaunator. Has a small shrine northeast of Market Square.

Ogden Flamebeard: Fiery dwarf proprietor of Kelvin's Comfort.

Sheriff Markhamm: oversees the defense of the town, to include its guard and militia.

Terestia: laundress and seamstress. Intermediary between Dunavan and Aarun


Places
Geldenstag's Rest: one of the oldest establishments in town featuring small rooms and sparse furnishings, but perhaps the quietest and a good choice for those patrons not looking for much excitement during their stay in Bryn Shander.

Hooked Knucklehead: Low frills inn northeast of Market Square, operated by Barton.

Kelvin's Comfort: not an inn, but the most popular tavern in Bryn Shander, with an excellent selection of dwarven ales and brandies. The proprietor is Ogden Flamebeard, a fiery headed dwarf.

Market Square: Trading hub of Ten Towns. Here people from all across Icewind Dale ply their wares, primarily carved scrimshaw and raw knucklehead ivory. Merchants from the south sell rich dyes, hardwood, dried herbs and spices, finely woven textiles, fruits and wines, and many other items that are rare in the frozen north.

The Northlook: the inn most frequented by mercenaries and adventurers, and as a result, the rowdiest and most dangerous place to stay in Bryn Shander.

Rendaril's Emporium: the largest tradehouse in Bryn Shander.
