5 unusual facts about Icewind Dale


Icewind Dale

Icewind Dale's score was composed by Jeremy Soule, and received widespread critical acclaim.

The PC game does not follow the events of R. A. Salvatore's the Icewind Dale Trilogy novels, as it takes place in a different century—thus characters such as Drizzt Do'Urden, Bruenor Battlehammer, and others do not appear.

After making their way through a network of tunnels, the party finds a powerful demonic creature named Yxunomei (Tara Strong).

Mythal

In Icewind Dale, it is revealed that a failed mythal created by the mage Larrel caused the destruction of the Severed Hand, an elven fortress.

Ten Towns

The Ten Towns of Icewind Dale are a loose confederation of villages in the far North.


GOG.com

As promised after its relaunch, GOG was able to offer several Black Isle Studios games such as Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale which have previously been unreleased through any download service due to legal issues between the ownership of Dungeons & Dragons-related games between Atari, Hasbro, and other companies.

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos

The game features an orchestral soundtrack composed entirely by award winning composer Jeremy Soule, who is most famous for his work on Supreme Commander, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Icewind Dale, and the Guild Wars series of video games.
