A Study within a Shattered Keep~
You find yourself in what appears to be an abandoned study.  Shredded

books line broken shelves, and a torch juts from the north wall.  To your

surprise, you notice that it is alight with flame casting the room in red

light, looking out of place in this frozen and darkened keep.

A Dark, Damp Tunnel Behind a Shattered Keep~
This dark tunnel runs east and west behind the shattered keep.  No

footprints can be seen on the icy rock floor, suggesting that the passage

has not seen many visitors, or at least the kind of visitors that leave

prints.  A stone seems out of place on the south wall.

passage to the east.  There is a door, still functional, to the north.

Inside a Shattered Keep~
The air within is warmer than the frigid air outside, but only barely. 

Tapestries lay ripped and half-burned on the cold stone floor.  What was

once a mighty table lies in shambles, and chairs lay in splinters

throughout the chamber, suggesting that some great catastrophe has

befallen the area.  There is a door to the north.

Before a Shattered Keep~
You stand before a large iron gate set in stone.  The keep itself looks

very unsteady.  At this close distance you can see great rending claw

marks in its stones.  The architecture of the keep suggests it wasn't

built here by man.  The cold is so great it seems magically enhanced, and

has grown to the point where your fingers do not react as you wish,

nearly unable to bend.  You are on a small plateau, a handful of feet

above a small road through the snow to the sough.  You will have to climb

down to reach the path below.

Icy Path Near a Shattered Keep~

keep, and east into blinding snow.  The great iron gate of the keep looms

overhead even at this distance, but even it is dwarfed by the mountain

upon which it is set.

defense against the stinging onslaught of ice.

you left behind.

Across an Icy Underground Pool~
You are standing in an icy tunnel.  The tunnel appears to bend to the

north, and it crosses through an icy pool to the south.  Glancing around,

you notice that no fungus grows in these frozen tunnels whatsoever.  The

ice on the walls and ceiling appear to be getting thicker as you progress

deeper into the cave.

The tunnel grows very small here, seeming to enclose tightly around you. 

The sound of dripping water comes from the opening to the south, and

another tunnel leads east.  You notice that the tunnel ceiling is coated

up.

The tunnel appears to continue north, but the view in that direction, as

well as travel, is obscured by a thick wall of ice.  It appears that the

entire source of cold for this cave, and perhaps the source of the

magical cold that you have felt all through the Dragonspire mountains,

lies behind that sheet of ice.  You think that it would take quite a few

blows to shatter it.

The tightly enclosing tunnels give way to an enourmous cavern. 

Stalagtites hand down fom the ceiling, as huge as any house in the

realms, and amidst them a huge shaft goes up through the ceiling, perhaps

the way the cavern's inhabitant, a large white dragon, makes her entrances

and exits.  On the far northern wall you see the outline of a

mountains.  The only significant landmark you see is another mountain,

The cave opens up here for a moment, allowing you to stand.  A crawlspace

leads north to the outside, and similarly tightly-enclosing tunnels lead

east and west.  You can hear the wind howling across the mouth of the

cavern as it whips across the Dragonspire Mountains.

A Small Crawlspace~
You are crawling across a flat, narrow ledge of ice.  The cave opens up

to the east and west.  The fragile ice crackles with each movement,

sending fragments of frost spraying as small rocks of frozen water

shatter under the pressure of your hands or knees.

large ones have fallen in the passage to the south, blocking travel in

that direction.  You can return to the north via a small passage between

the two pillars of ice.  The ice in one corner has started to melt due to

the presence of a seemingly out-of-place forge.

Across a river of molten lava.~
The rock ledge widens enough to make passage comfortably safe, and rises

above the reach of the intense heat of the lava below.  The northern rock

wall swirls with a rainbow of bright colors, an almost dizzying mosaic of

hues that are layered one on top of the other.

A Large Rock Ledge~
The irregular rock of the cave has been smoothed out, and a well-cut

passage heads into the rock to the west.  A spiral staircase leads down

this large ledge in the rock.  Diagonal beams of oak line the walls, but

they do not seem to be functioning as support, so much as decoration, an

afterthought rather than a necessity.

A Large, Smooth Tunnel~
Burnt-out torches line the hall, resting in brass fittings that have been

drilled directly into the rock wall.  A fine powder of white dust coats

everything here.  The hall approaches an opening and ledge east, and a

large stone gate can be seen farther down the hall west.

A Large, Smooth Tunnel~
A huge stone gate blocks further passage to the west.  Ominous runes,

unrecognized except for the fact that they seem to be some kind of

warning, are spread across its broad surface.  A smoothly made hall leads

east, and on the north wall a large golden gong is suspended in an

alcove, with a golden hammer chained to the rock beside it.

Much like the stone gate itself, the gong is covered with strange

markings.  You cannot decipher what it is exactly they say, but it seems

to be to the effect of "do not touch the gong."

A Large Stone Hall~
The walls of this room are made of thick stone, and glowing blue runes of

warding cover every inch of their surface.  Even the floor and ceiling of

this huge-dimensioned chamber are guarded by magical spells preventing

anything entering or leaving, as if the room was meant to be a holding

cell for a large and powerful being.
