Icingdeath


 * ''For the white wyrm Icingdeath, see Ingeloakastimizilian

Icingdeath is the name of Drizzt Do'Urden's main scimitar. It has a powerful magical enhancement to make it more accurate and damaging, it deals cold damage to creatures of fiery origins and protects the wielder from fire.

Drizzt found Icingdeath in the treasure pile of Ingeloakastimizilian the white wyrm and this is where the weapon gets its name. Icingdeath is first mentioned in The Crystal Shard. Drizzt usually holds it in his right hand.

The hilt of the scimitar is of black adamantite and the blade is made of silver with a diamond edge. The weapon absorbs fire and heat, protecting its wielder against fire. This magical blade saved Drizzt's life every time he faced the demon Errtu. According to Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition rules, it is a "frostbrand scimitar +3", although in the more recent 3.0 ruleset is a slightly more streamlined "+3 frost scimitar," though "frostbrand" would seem more accurate.

"…uncovering a gem-encrusted sword pommel, its black adamantite hilt masterfully sculpted into the likeness of the toothed maw of a hunting cat."
