Once-green slopes along the Basilisk’s Spine now lie entombed beneath unrelenting ice, their villages half-buried, their roads erased by drifting snow. Blizzards rise without warning, avalanches thunder down familiar passes, and the cold itself feels watchful—deliberate. At the heart of this spreading winter lies an ancient cavern claimed by Zhixal, a great white dragon whose growing paranoia and fury have twisted the land into a frozen deathtrap. Whether drawn by prophecy, profit, desperation, or duty, those who brave the storm soon learn that the cold is not merely weather—it is the dragon’s will made manifest, and it does not suffer trespass lightly

White Dragon Cavern is a Fifth Edition adventure designed for 3-5 characters of 5th-7th level, but can be adjusted to fit parties up to 13th level. Tables throughout the adventure give details on how to adjust the challenge to meet parties of higher levels.
