Kelvin's Cairn

Location from Icewind Dale by R.A. Salvatore / Wizards of the Coast / Black Isle Studios

A lone mountain rising from the flat tundra near Bryn Shander — a landmark visible for miles that houses abandoned dwarven mines and serves as the Dale's compass point.

Also known as: Kelvin's Cairn, The Cairn, Kelvin Peak

What They Know

• Clan Battlehammer's original mines are on the lower slopes, now largely abandoned since Bruenor reclaimed Mithral Hall.
• The mountain is the most recognizable landmark in Icewind Dale, visible from every town in Ten-Towns.
• Yeti lairs in the upper caves make the higher slopes extremely dangerous.
• Drizzt Do'Urden first encountered Bruenor near the base of Kelvin's Cairn.
• The mines still contain trace deposits of metals, drawing occasional prospectors who rarely return.
• A crevasse on the northern face leads to deeper caverns rumored to connect to the Underdark.
