Just as things are looking up, Drizzt discovers the presence of Crenshinibon in Icewind Dale. This relationship leads Bruenor to undertake his greatest creation, the forging of the great battlehammer Aegis-fang. But it is not blades that will be forged, it is the boy himself, and his relationship with his new master. He sets the boy, Wulfgar, to the forge and teaches him the trade. With the help of Regis and his ruby pendant, Bruenor Battlehammer and Drizzt are able to convince the ten spokesmen of Ten-Towns to gather their forces together in preparation for an attack.Īfter successfully repelling the barbarian onslaught, Bruenor takes a teenage barbarian boy as an indentured servant. Adding to the local problems, the barbarian tribes north of the Reghed Glacier are led by their Chief Heafstaag to attack all ten of the Ten-Towns settlements. When a murderous but inept Akar Kessel gains possession of Crenshinibon, he begins to enslave local clans of goblins and giants in the Icewind Dale. But soon that home faces a terrible threat in the form of failed wizard Akar Kessel, who wields-and has been consumed by-the seemingly unstoppable power of the Crystal Shard. New doors have opened to Drizzt, allowing him to walk freely among the citizens of Ten-Towns. Renegade dark elf Drizzt DoUrden has found a place to call home-Icewind Dale-even if it only accepts him begrudgingly. He has been accepted by Bruenor Battlehammer, and friendship with the dwarf and his human foster-daughter Cattie-brie has been growing steadily. Five years have passed since Drizzt Do'Urden began his vigil atop Kelvin's Cairn, overlooking the settlements of Ten-Towns in the midst of Icewind Dale.
