Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a campaign module for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, set in the frozen, icy wilderness of Icewind Dale, part of the Forgotten Realms. The adventure is filled with mystery, survival, and horror, as the players are tasked with uncovering the truth behind a deadly eternal winter that has gripped the region. Setting: Icewind Dale, a frigid northern region in the Forgotten Realms, known for its harsh weather, dangerous creatures, and remote location. The area is ruled by the frostbitten goddess, Auril the Frostmaiden. Main Plot: The adventure revolves around the players investigating and stopping the unnatural winter caused by Auril, who has cast a cruel and everlasting winter over the land. The players will need to navigate this treacherous environment, encounter dangerous creatures, and unravel the mysteries behind the Frostmaiden’s curse. Themes: Survival in a hostile environment, horror, isolation, and exploration. The campaign blends elements of mystery, investigation, and battle, with the overarching theme of defying an almost unbeatable, godlike power. Key Locations: Icewind Dale itself, with its small towns like Ten-Towns, where players will interact with locals and learn about the increasingly severe winter. The Spine of the World mountains, home to deadly creatures and hidden dangers. Auril’s Realm, the mysterious and dangerous domain of the Frostmaiden, where the final confrontation might take place. Challenges: Players face extreme cold, dangerous wildlife (like yetis and white dragons), and the frost-covered landscape, which can be a serious threat to survival. They will also encounter other factions, ancient secrets, and divine power at play.
