The Reghed Glacier was a glacial wasteland north of the Spine of the World.[2][3] The region was so desolate and isolated that few travelers dared to cross near its eastern border,[4] let alone venture atop its icy facade.[1]
The Reghedman barbarians of Icewind Dale took their name from this glacier.[5]
Geography[]
The Reghed Glacier.
The Reghed Glacier formed the eastern boundary of Icewind Dale[1] and was bordered by the Spine of the World to the south.[3]
To the east of the glacier was a frozen wasteland; beyond that was the enormous Endless Ice Sea glacier. Sometimes, the Reghed Glacier was confused with the Endless Ice Sea.[3]
Notable Locations[]
- Evermelt: In contrast to the unforgiving cold, this bubbling spring was a haven of warmth and a sacred location to the barbarian tribes.[6][7]
- Ythryn: The ancient enclave of Netheril came crashing down into the Glacier during Karsus's Folly. [8]
Rumors & Legends[]
The Reghedmen barbarians claimed the giants of the Dawn Age created the glacier to mark the edge of their territory.[1]
Inhabitants[]
The Reghed Glacier was home to the white dragon Ingeloakastimizilian, also known as Icingdeath, who was slain by Wulfgar.[9] Icingdeath's underground lair was located beneath the Evermelt hot springs.[10]
Not much more was known about any other inhabitants that may have dwelled on or within the glacier.[4]
