The Prince of Ice Crown

About the adventure

Backed against the grey-black stone, the town of Frostflint shelters itself amongst the peaks of the Ice Crown mountains. The blizzard winds howl and screech as they squeeze between the frost covered walls and sunken icy roofs of the abandoned homes at the edge of town. Sheltered in an alley between two large black stone buildings at the edge of the town square, two dozen people try to keep warm around pitiful campfires. At the mouth of the alley a man with ivory skies slung over his shoulder cautiously scans the blustery skies. The Prince of Ice Crown is an original 5e one-shot where survival and teamwork are paramount to surviving the dangers of the mountain top.
