Hrothgar's expedition is the expedition from Easthaven to Kuldahar during the prologue of Icewind Dale.
Motivation[]
A messenger from Kuldahar recently arrived in Easthaven and delivered a message asking for help with investigating strange occurrences, before succumbing to his injuries.
As a result, Easthaven's champion, Hrothgar, has started organizing an expedition to Kuldahar to find out what is happening there.
Members[]
The expedition team consists of:
- Hrothgar, the local champion and now expedition leader.
- Accalia, the local temple acolyte.[1]
- Hildreth Highhammer, a dwarven warrior.[2]
- Some other unspecified and unnamed individuals.
- The player-controlled adventuring party.
Capable candidates in Easthaven who are not joining the expedition, are:
- Everard, the local high priest (because his battle-wounds would cause him to slow the expedition down, and someone needs to stay behind and perform the temple duties.)
- Erevain Blacksheaf, an elven explorer (because he is on his own solo mission).
Fate[]

The expedition embarks, reaches the Spine of the World, and enters the mountain pass towards Kuldahar – but is hit by the avalanche at Kuldahar Pass.
All expedition members die in the avalanche, except for the player-controlled party (which continues onward through the in-game Kuldahar Pass area to Kuldahar).
