About the adventure
Icewind Dale though seen by many as cold and desolate is rich in natural resources and ecological wonders. The powerful regions of the Sword Coast rely on the minerals and lumber supplied by the northern region. It is for this reason you and your team were able to secure the research grant you need to travel. Strange seismic activity and weather patterns have been occurring for the past two years, causing crop failures and endangering mining operations. Some whisper it is the return of the Auril the Frostmaiden’s Rime a devastating eternal winter that occurred in the region over 500 years ago. The gods rarely make appearances on the material plane these days, and such stories are brushed off as nonsense. Pack your bags and get ready to hop on the smallest plane you’ve ever seen. You’re flying to Icewind Dale! This adventure is a modern retelling of Icewind Dale Rime of the Frostmaiden. -Explore a modern reimaging of the Forgotten Realms where magic and modern technology coexist. -Investigate unusual weather and try to find the source of the prolonged winter. -Research long lost secrets of past and rediscover lost arcana. -Cross paths with magnificent and sometimes dangerous creatures that inhabit the region. -Uncover dark and dangerous secrets of the cosmos.

About me
Hello I’m Michelle C I’m a Game Master from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I started DMing Dungeons and Dragons back in 2018. As I live on a rock in the north Atlantic, I’ve done most of my games online. I’ve had the pleasure of running games at virtual conventions and community events and that led to me being here with all you lovely folks. I run mostly D&D 5e, and I'm a big Forgotten Realms dork. Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is my favourite hardcover adventure. It is my cozy comfort campaign and every so often I run a re-telling of that adventure. I also think the Underdark is so neat, I love spiders and have pet tarantulas. Any day I get to create stories about cozy caves and geek out about spiders is a great day. Thank you for stopping by, feel free to reach out if you have any questions about ongoing campaigns or want to chat about how Luskan really does belong in the Lords’ Alliance.
