In the First Epoch, Inzurakthol's northern-eastern spur became the lair of an ancient white dragon named Amaglothorn. From his mountain redoubt, crawling with frost giants, yeti, and winter wolves, Amaglothorn terrorized the land around.

In 541, work began on turning the lair into a more respectable home. The great fortress of Iiz Vaaz, Draconic for Ice Tear, often said to have been built by slaves, was largely the work of paid workers; mostly frost giants and other icy brutes comfortable with the area's chill. Built for a dragon, some of Ice Tear's halls and chambers are supported by various types of elemental motes, earth motes to buttress walls and massive ceilings and air motes for shafts that work like levitation magic and bigger ones working like great fans, carrying those on the wing with ease.

In 791, the Ice Tear became the source of a storm of cold that didn't let up for fifty years. Named Amaglothorns Breath, this unnatural winter storm buried the vales of Inzurakthol in snow, ice, and glaciers.

After Amaglothorns Breath subsided, Ice Tear became an extremely cold place. At the heart of Ice Tear, is Amaglothorn, encased in blue-white ice. Dozens of others surround him, followers and those hoping to loot the area, all frozen like Ice Tear's former master.
