Deep in the heart of glacier caverns there is a specific phenomenon whose occurrence has gone unexplained for centuries. Indeed it may never be explained, only admired for what it is. As the ice melts in the summer it falls to the floor, but in fall and winter it still melts, ever so slowly, freezing into shapes beyond beauty. One particular ice shape which has been sought after from generation to generation of all kinds of adventurers and other folk is the glacier rose. The glacier rose is merely ice shaped like a rose; its petals pure crystalline white, and its stem solid and immovable. It is said to be the most beautiful sight to behold in all of the icy tundra of Icewind Dale.
In the town of Luskan four travelers gathered, each alike in philosophy. To Icewind Dale they would go, to seek the infamous glacier rose. Little did they know their parts, seemingly small, would save the whole of Faerun from evil beyond imagination.

Long ago Thyme Darklight was persecuted for his beliefs. He knew that every man must sacrifice nothing. He knew that life was not based on what you gave away, like all the priests and monks would have people believe, but on what you achieved. Remembering such, he went through many adventures, including one of a massive tomb, or temple, it was not certain. He entered bearing only his robes, his enchanted sword, and his magical ring. When he emerged, he was followed by a druid woman, and a line of skeletons carrying with them bags, barrels, and trunks of riches. Soon afterward, he left for the Icy Tundra, never to be seen again. Until now.
