Story Timeline

The main timeline of the game take place after the events of The Crystal Shard, the first book published by R.A. Salvatore in the Icewind Dale Trilogy. It's about the story of the Four Companions: Catti-brie, Wulfgar, Bruenor, and Drizzt Do'Urden as they battle against the Dark Alliance that answered the call of the Crenshinibon.

Story Recap

The Birth of the Crenshinibon

The Crenshinibon, or the Crystal Shard, is magical artifact of immense power created by the magic of seven Liches. For thousands of years, the Crystal Shard laid dormant under the mountains of ice and snow in Icewind Dale. There it waited, until a would-be wizard stumbled upon it.

The Rise of Akar Kessell

Kessell claimed the Crystal Shard for his own, and with its power summoned armies of evil creatures as he declared war against the Dale and the people of Ten-Towns.

The Battle of Bryn Shander

Our champoins rallied together the people of Ten-Towns and stood their ground with the walls of Bryn Shander. Our heroes chased Kessell far up the slopes of Kelvin's Cairn. Sensing the inevitable defeat that awaited Kessell, the Crystal Shard betrayed Kessel. Both the Crystal and Kessel were lost to the snowy mountain. With Kessell defeated, the war was won. Or so they thought.

The Crenshinibon, though lost, still called for anyone who craved for power. Across the realm, monsters have answered its call. But our heroes answered a call of their own: to stand together against this Dark Alliance.
