The Forgotten Realms [Fan Version]

The frigid Ice Spires, a jagged mountain range in Faerûn's far north, pierce the sky with icy peaks, a realm of biting winds and treacherous fairy ice. Here, north of the Silver Marches and the Endless Ice Sea, and northwest of Anauroch, giants and their kin—frost, fire, hill, and ogre—dominate the landscape. Hartsvale, a secluded human kingdom, clings to a valley within these spires, hemmed in by the mountains, the icy sea, and the Anauroch desert's edge, divided into the High Duchies, Cold Marches, Cuthbert Fief, Baronies of Wind, and Lake Fiefs. Note that Icespire Peak, a dwarven stronghold in the Sword Mountains, and the Great Spire of the Ice Sea, an island structure in Yal Tengri, are distinct from this northern range.
