Reghed Glacier

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

An ancient glacier east of Ten-Towns, miles thick and impossibly old — it conceals buried civilizations beneath its ice and gives its name to the barbarian tribes who roam its edges.

Also known as: The Glacier, The Great Ice, Reghed Ice Sheet

What They Know

• The glacier is slowly advancing, grinding southward at an accelerated rate under Auril's Everlasting Rime.
• The Caves of Hunger form a treacherous network within the glacier's interior, leading to the buried city of Ythryn.
• Reghed barbarian tribes camp along the glacier's edges seasonally and consider the ice spiritually significant.
• The Netherese city of Ythryn lies entombed deep beneath the ice, preserved by ancient magic.
• Ice trolls, remorhazes, and other cold-dwelling predators hunt along the glacier margins.
• Crevasses regularly swallow travelers whole — the glacier is not safe to cross without experienced guides.
• Strange lights and sounds emanate from deep within the ice at irregular intervals, attributed to the Netherese magic below.
• The glacier predates human habitation of the region by tens of thousands of years.
