In this bleak tundra is the farthest bastion
of civilization in the Savage Frontier,
a loose confederation of 10
towns and villages known collectively
as the Ten Towns (see chapter 4). The
towns are located on or near the three
deadly-cold lakes of Maer Dualdon, Lac
Dinneshere and Redwaters, the habitat
of the knucklehead trout (found
nowhere else in Faerun). The tundra of
the Dale is surrounded by ice, with
high-walled glaciers to the east and the
Sea of Moving Ice to the west and north.
Icewind Dale is home to a few tribes
of tundra barbarians, reindeer, polar bears, wolves, elk, <stats for elk are in DL2>
the fierce tundra yeti, and a white dragon or two.
