Icespire Hold is a stone fortress perched on the icy northeast spur of Icespire Peak. A warlord named Delsendra Amzarr built the stronghold, and dwelled there for many years while she and her soldiers kept the orcs of the Sword Mountains in check. When supply lines were cut off by heavy snow and blizzards during a brutal winter, Delsendra and her followers were never heard of again. Orcs later took over the fortress, which was damaged by an earthquake ten years ago and never repaired.
Years later the dragon Cryovain decided to make the Hold its lair, it stormed the fortress through the crumbled southwest section and ate several orcs before settling on the roof. With a terrible roar, the gorged dragon drove the remaining orcs out of Icespire Hold. Before long however it was slain by the The Leilon...Some?.
While exploring the hold the The Leilon...Some? discovered that the hold was part of an extensive alliance of Elves, aiming to hold back some unnamed foe. Alas the hold was buried by avalanche before more could be found.
