![[Pasted image 20251222163952.png]] **Type:** Arctic Frontier Region **Location in Faerûn:** Far North **Land Region in Faerûn:** Icewind Dale (*beyond the [[Spine of the World]]*) **Kingdom or Country (if any):** None **Ruler (if any):** [[Ten-Towns]] Speakers **Note:** Icewind Dale lies beyond the crushing heights of the Spine of the World, a frozen frontier where blizzards, tundra, and monster-haunted wastes stretch to the horizon. Its scattered settlements- collectively known as the Ten-Towns survive through fishing, trade, and sheer stubborn endurance. The native [[Reghedmen]] tribes roam the icy plains, their culture shaped by the land’s unforgiving winters and brilliant auroras. Known as both a refuge for exiles and a crucible for legends, Icewind Dale holds a mythic reputation across Faerûn- largely due to the tales of [[Drizzt Do’Urden]] and [[The Companions of the Hall]], whose deeds echo through every tavern from [[Waterdeep]] to [[Cormyr]].
