Introduction: Some Secrets are Worth Dying For. Feel the cold touch of death in this adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game. In Icewind Dale, adventure is a dish best served cold. Beneath the unyielding night sky, you stand before a towering glacier and recite an ancient rhyme, causing a crack to form in the great wall of ice. Beyond this yawning fissure, the Caves of Hunger await. And past this icy dungeon is a secret so old and terrifying that few dare speak of it. The mad wizards of the Arcane Brotherhood long to possess that which the god of winter’s wrath has so coldly preserved—as do you! What fantastic secrets and treasures are entombed in the sunless heart of the glacier, and what will their discovery mean for the denizens of Icewind Dale? Can you save Ten-Towns from the Frostmaiden’s everlasting night? Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a tale of dark terror that revisits the forlorn, flickering candlelights of civilization known as Ten-Towns and sheds light on the many bone-chilling locations that surround these frontier settlements. Note: For use with the fifth edition Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual. |
Features: Become an Adventurer: Adventurers come in all shapes and sizes. Find one that’s fun for you. A elvish cleric, driven from society for trespassing on tradition.

Join the Party: D&D brings people together and forges new friendships. Silly moments spawn inside jokes; moving battles leave treasured memories—whether in the heat of battle, embroiled in social intrigue, or solving clever puzzles, your party has your back. Choose Your Own Path: The woods are growing dark. Behind a mass of ivy, you see the stones of a crumbling castle. What do you do? North of the Spine of the World and west of the towering Reghed Glacier is a frigid expanse few dare to explore, let alone inhabit. For two long years, the god of winter's wrath has kept the sun from rising in Icewind Dale. Suspicion and desperation eat away at settlements plunged into perpetual darkness. And still greater threats may loom on the horizon. Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a tale of dark terror that revisits the forlorn, flickering candlelight of Ten-Towns and the many bone-chilling locations that surround it.

Character Secrets: Buried under thick furs and heavy cloaks, it's hard to tell friend from foe in the frozen streets of Ten-Towns. The denizens of Icewind Dale are full of secrets and surprises—some pleasant, some not so much. During character creation, each player may randomly draw a secret for their character—a skeleton in their closet that may be revealed as the story unfolds. Seventeen character secrets are included in the book, plus suggestions for things that may happen as a result of each. More Monsters Than Ever: The fauna of the frozen north has thus far remained unrecorded. Desolate and barren as it may seem, Icewind Dale is actually home to a huge variety of creatures.

From fun riffs on monsters already in the Monster Manual to strange, unknown horrors—unexpected things lurk around every corner.
