Kelvin’s Cairn looms solitary and eternal above the tundra of Icewind Dale, a towering peak that rises 1,000 feet into the howling skies. Perpetually blanketed in snow and shrouded in mist, it is as much a monument of myth as it is stone—said to have been raised by Tempus himself atop the body of the slain frost giant Kelvin. The mountain’s flanks are riddled with storied sites: the Dwarven Valley, home to industrious clans and deep mining tunnels; Bruenor’s Climb, where the famed dwarf king once sought solitude and clarity; and the sacred anvil where Aegis-fang, the legendary warhammer, was forged. Over the years, Kelvin’s Cairn has been both haven and battlefield—its slopes marred by verbeeg warbands and scarred by the avalanche unleashed during Akar Kessel’s dark sorcery. Today, the mountain remains a symbol of resolve and danger, calling adventurers to its heights with the promise of glory, riches, and legend beneath the ever-falling snow.

A massive, snow-draped peak rises stark against the icy sky, its sheer sides broken by dark crags and icy ledges. Narrow trails spiral up the mountainside, disappearing into clouds and blowing snow. Dwarven outposts cling to the lower cliffs, their stone doors hidden in the rock. From its summit, the wind screams like a war cry, and the shadow of the mountain stretches for miles across the frozen dale.
