The Long Winter (Goblins at the Gates) Content
For three years the ancient white dragons Icewind and langdeath relentlessly assaulted the smallfolk of Ten-Towns in an event that came to be called the long winter. The wyrms were indiscriminate in their attacks, not limiting them to the folk of the towns, but freezing lakes and fields, yeti and crag cats, and orcs and goblins.
Fishing was all but impossible, and nothing grew in the dale. More people died of starvation than from dragon attack, and many settlers fled back to the south. Rumours persist of a small settlement on the eastern shore of Lac Dinneshere that was so thoroughly buried in snow that it sank into the lake, or that it remains frozen. There is no name given for this village, and I suspect the story is false, although many hunting lodges and outposts did disappear during those years.
In spite of the many tragedies caused by the rampaging dragons, one of the most well-known legacies of the long winter is a humorous song about a lazy halfling who froze to death, only to revive and "finally feel warm" on his funeral pyre.
