DM Art Campaign 1 - Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden
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. This icy land of windswept tundra recently became locked in a perpetual, dark winter without reprieve. Auril the Frostmaiden, the divine embodiment of winter’s fury, has withdrawn to this cold corner of the world to live among mortals. Further, she has cast a terrible spell over Icewind Dale, to the detriment of most of its denizens.
Cast
Maximus Overtone (Human Bard)
A talented musician with a dash of narcism, aren’t all the great bards of the world made that way? Maximum is travelling to the ten towns of icewind dale to join in the exclusive club of his fellow bards. Maximus is the lead singer of his band maximus and the miners.
Ponto Goodhalf (Halfling Artificer)
We still don’t know if Ponto’s good half is the top or the bottom … or perhaps the left side or the right side. Either way, he is a skilled tinkerer and now a concert lighting technician.
Quincy Magoo (Human Sorcerer / Aberrant Mind)
A grumpy old man who thought he was going to chult for a beachside vacation with umbrella drinks finds out that his lousy kids sent him away to icewind dale instead. One of Quincy’s greatest skills is his weak bladder and gaseous attacks. He also loves a good sleigh-ride on smoke’s sheild.
Smoke Dawnroar (Leonin Barbarian)
As a Leonin barbarian in the Rayana Pride, Smoke Dawnroar had paid his dues protecting his people. His mastery of his horse steed during their hunting trips was starting to become legendary amongst the tribes and villages on the Malatran Plateau. His long ashen grey mane and tail streamed behind him as he rode like smoke from a wildfire. Thus he received his name.
But the bitter cold of Icewind Dale is far different than the desert heat of the Rayana Savanna and Smoke feels like a fish out of water.
Zoko “Yeti” Pokorokodokogoko (Goliath Druid)
Yeti grew up near Icewind Dale in the high cold mountains with a village of real Yetis. He would sometimes wander down away from his wife shadowheart to find adventure on the snowy plains.
