Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden

Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a 5-edition Dungeons & Dragons adventure that takes place in Icewind Dale. It is designed for 1- to 12-level characters.

"Feel the cold touch of death in this adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.

In Icewind Dale, adventure is a dish best served cold.

Beneath the unyielding night sky, you stand before a towering glacier and recite an ancient rhyme, causing a crack to form in the great wall of ice. Beyond this yawning fissure, the Caves of Hunger await. And past this icy dungeon is a secret so old and terrifying that few dare speak of it. The mad wizards of the Arcane Brotherhood long to possess that which the god of winter’s wrath has so coldly preserved—as do you! What fantastic secrets and treasures are entombed in the sunless heart of the glacier, and what will their discovery mean for the denizens of Icewind Dale? Can you save Ten-Towns from the Frostmaiden's everlasting night?

Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a tale of dark terror that revisits the forlorn, flickering candlelights of civilization known as Ten-Towns and sheds light on the many bone-chilling locations that surround these frontier settlements."

Description
The campaign has two entry points — the first set at level one in the Ten-Towns region and the second set at levels four to six with a focus on transitioning from elsewhere in Faerûn to Icewind Dale. The story has multiple potential endings, both good and bad, based on the choices the players make throughout the adventure.

Synopsis
After the Second Sundering, the deity Auril the Frostmaiden returns to Icewind Dale to plunge it into darkness and everlasting winter.
