Icesinger Alriel, a talented bard of Tenerthor
descent was caught in a terrible storm while upon the Sea of Lost Souls. By a miracle she
drifted to shore on the edge of the Jarik Glacier. There she was found and
rescued by fae from the Winter Court. Once she had healed she was brought
before the Queen who asked her what favor she could provide in return for
her well being. Having nothing more to offer than her skills, Alriel offered
to play for the Queen's court until her debt had been repaid. So impressed
was the Queen of the Winter Court with the talents of the young bard that she
summoned fabled Frostgaze, an incredibly old dragon, to bring forth a wondrous
gift from its lair in the Cliffs of
Jamar. Frostgaze collected many musical delights in its hoard for the
winds that batter the Jamar coastline to play, but the wind could not play
Icesinger and so it brought the flute at the request of the Winter Queen.
Alriel returned to her people with the flute, using it to cross the sea with
its icy song. Since then, the flute has traveled from one bard's hand to the
next, staying upon the Jarik Glacier.
Crafted from the claw of a white dragon and
infused with the spirit of an ice paraelemental,
this flute has powers over water and cold. It appears as a bone white flute that
glimmers in sunlight with coursing blue waves beneath its surface. When played
well it alights with eldritch blue fire and the nearby air becomes noticibly
colder. It is glossy smooth and cool to the touch, making it slightly more
difficult to play than a normal flute.
Using the flute requires that it be played. The
greater the skill level of its artist, the greater effects that are available.
Perform DC 15: The musician may freeze a
quantity of liquid equal to their Perform check in cubic feet. The musician can
only affect one body of liquid per round. Attended liquids, such as potions, are
allowed a Fortitude save (DC = ½ Perform check) to resist the effect. Use:
At will, full round action, may be performed continuously.
Perform DC 20: Grant resist energy,
cold upon 1 creature of the musician's choosing within 30 feet. The musician
may affect one additional creature for every +5 added to the DC. The musician
sets the DC of each attempt before beginning to play. For example, to affect
three creatures the musician must succeed a DC 25 Perform check; if failed then
no creature is affected. Use: 3/day, full round action.
Perform DC 25: The user may shape ice as
though using the spell stone shape. The musician may shape any ice

ten cubic feet. Use: 3/day, full round action.
Perform DC 30: Summons a chilling fog which
fills a 20 foot radius about the musician plus 5 ft. per 10 points above thirty

of 50 would fill a 30 ft. radius. All creatures not recognized by the musician
are slowed for as long as they remain in the fog (Fort DC = ½ Perform
Check to negate slow effect). Creatures within 5 ft. of each other
have concealment from each other (20% mischance). Creatures farther away have

the target).
A moderate wind (11+ mph disperses the fog in 4
rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round.
