Icewind

Named for Icewind Dale, a harsh and unforgiving region of the Forgotten Realms. And also the first true home of Drizzt Do'Urden.

Like the land he embodies, Icewind is straightforward and sometimes harsh. You'll get no flowery language from him- if he disagrees he'll tell you so. If he hates you, he'll not pretend otherwise. If you win his friendship, however, he's as firm in that as he is every other aspect of his life.

For the most part, though, Icewind is a loner. His mate Frostback is one of two exception to his preference for solitude; she accompanies him almost everywhere, as does his familiar, Cailan. Frostback's love is constant and deep, while Cailan's is borderline fanatical. When they met, he witnessed Icewind's power for himself in a battle in the wilderness, easily taking out a dragon that had menaced Cailan's entire herd. From that moment, he swore his service to the creature whose power had so entranced him.

He wouldn't admit it outright, but Icewind is more than little pleased to have such a devoted pet. Far more than a little. (The thought makes him preen, licking his wings into a perfect icy shine. It makes Frostback chuckle, because she knows the truth- it's easy to impress something less magical when you're a dragon.)
