Icingdeath

From Forgotten Realms Wiki

For the white dragon Icingdeath, see Ingeloakastimizilian

Icingdeath is the nick-name, commonly used by Forgotten Realms readers, of Drizzt Do'Urden's main scimitar.[citation needed] The weapon remained nameless until later on in the series when it is called "the newly named Icingdeath" as a side-note in the book The Silent Blade.[1] It has a powerful magical enhancement to make it more accurate and damaging, it deals cold damage to creatures of fiery origins and protects the wielder from fire[2].

Drizzt found Icingdeath in the treasure pile of Ingeloakastimizilian the white wyrm and this is where the weapon gets its name. Icingdeath is first mentioned in The Crystal Shard[3]. Drizzt usually holds it in his right hand.

The hilt of the scimitar is of black adamantite and the blade is made of silver with a diamond edge. The weapon absorbs fire and heat, protecting its wielder against fire. This magical blade saved Drizzt's life every time he faced the demon Errtu.

…uncovering a gem-encrusted sword pommel, its black adamantite hilt masterfully sculpted into the likeness of the toothed maw of a hunting cat.
