Soth is a human scholar enslaved by frost salamanders in the Icewind Dale game.
Location[]
He stands at the left end of the library level of the Aquatic Museum in Wyrm's Tooth.
Background[]
He comes from a small village near Auckney, just south-west of the the Spine of the World mountain range.
He joined a caravan bound for Easthaven, but they were attacked en route, and he was captured and brought to the Wyrm's Tooth glacier. Since then, he has been held as a slave of the frost salamanders under Kerish in the Aquatic Museum here.
Recently, the slaves mounted an escape attempt that ended badly, and as a result, Soth and 11 other surviving slaves became stuck in the library of the museum.
Now, he passes the time by studying the ancient dwarven books stored here.
Interaction[]
You can talk to him to learn a little about his background and situation.
If you have previously stepped on the "rickety bridge" on the Wyrm's Tooth main outdoors map (to learn that it is broken), you can ask Soth if there is a book that can help you repair it. He gives you the Engineering Manual, which advances the main quest step:
- Repairing the bridge in Wyrm's Tooth (up to 172,500 exp)
If you free the slaves (by completing The slaves and the salamanders the "good" way), Soth leaves forever, but he drops the Engineering Manual on the ground if you don't have it yet.
