The frozen cave of a young white dragon, its treasure hoard sealed away with icy breath…

The crystalline walls of this lair pair well with the Crystal Hill, where perhaps its entrance lays underneath the Hill’s icy overhang? Alternatively, it may rest hidden in a vast, cold wasteland, or on the side of an alpine cliff face.

Inside, the jagged tunnels twist to and fro, leading to a cavern with a clear, frozen floor, beneath which glitters innumerable gold pieces. Quite the find for an adventuring party, if they are able to fight off the white dragon, ice golem, kobold denizens, or whatever it is you decide lives here!

Let us know what encounters you think up in the comments, and how your games go should you run this map!
