Danger in the Dwarven Valley - maps and extra content for Rime of the Frostmaiden

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Nestled at the base of kelvin's cairn lies the Dwarven Valley where the goodly dwarves of Icewind Dale have lived for centuries crafting fine weapons and armor. Looming on the eastern side of the valley lies the Halls of Black Ice, where an evil plagued the mind of many dwarves, culminating in a civil war. Recently, a new foe has found a home in these abandoned halls. With the help of some brave heroes, the dwarves may be able to reclaim these bountiful halls once more.

Little is written about the Dwarven Valley in Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, though it was partially explored in Legacy of the Crystal Shard. This supplement to Chapter 1: Ten Towns and Chapter 2: Icewind Dale provides an expansion of the Dwarven Valley and includes:

  • Expanded Dwarven Valley, including some NPCs, trade options, fungi, lore, and the Halls of Black Ice 
  • Additional Adventure Hooks, providing the characters with reasons to explore the Dwarven Valley.
  • A New Dungeon Battlemap, providing a harrowing battle in the tunnels of the Halls of Black Ice.

As always, it is up to you how much of the content you want to use. It's perfectly fine to use some parts of this supplement while discarding others, or simply let the ideas presented here inspire new ideas of your own. 

This supplement assumes a party of 4–6 characters of 3rd level. More powerful parties will have an easier time with the challenges within. Suggestions for scaling for 2nd level characters are presented within.

This adventure is fine, but I wouldn't call the PDF a "supplement." I was expecting some more lore and history, story, and ideas for the Dwarven Valley settlement and the dwarves there. It's a fun adventure in the Dwarven Valley.

Are the maps compatible with Roll20? I am new to DMing on Roll20, and struggling at times to make maps work on that platform.

Hi Adam,

For Roll20 you’re going to want to use the file “Halls_of_Black_Ice-55x85-VTT.jpg” and set the dimensions to 55 squares wide and 85 squares tall and it should line up perfectly in Roll20. Shoot me an email or DM me on Twitter and I can help troubleshoot if you have any issues.

What are the foundry settings to get the grid to line up?

5500 wide and 8500 tall at 100 pixels per square should be perfect.

This is exactly what I was looking to add, the published adventure doesn't have anything for the valley, barely even has it on the map which is mad. it is right in the middle of the tundra of the ten towns. My party have just left the Duergar Outpost and wanted to go to the valley, so cheers. Looks a pretty good adventure. Though I will probably not run result one on the dwellings table.

This is very good adventure! Excited to run it for my group but just a quick edit question.
The statblocks for the Needle Lord and Spawn.

They have blindsight of 30ft which means they are blind beyond that distance and they have needle range up to 60ft. Should the blindsight be 60ft or should the needle range be reduced to 30ft?

Great question! Just so you know, these monsters are featured in the Mordenkainen's Fiendish Folio Volume 1 (by Wizards of the Coast, which can be found on dndbeyond). I double checked that the ranges matched dndbeyond and it does.

But to get at the heart of your question, I believe if something is blind beyond its blindsight radius it will say so (see stat block for gelatinous cube). These creatures can see normally outside of their blindsight. Let me know if that answers your question!

Please let me know how it goes when you run it. :-)

Heya! This is just a very minor thing, but the document references a Trap in sector 1, yet the map doesn't reflect this (like the text says it does). Again, very minor thing I thought I'd point out. Otherwise I love this mini-module.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
