'''Icecrown''', also known as '''Ice Crown'''<ref>"Ice Crown", [[Warcraft III]] map.</ref>, is a [[zone]] composed of mostly [[Icecrown Glacier]] and the immediate area around it. Icecrown is surrounded by mountains to the south. The ground is neither frozen earth nor covered with snow; it is solid ice. Hence, nothing grows here.
 
 
==History==
 
The name of Icecrown became infamous when [[Kil'jaeden]] hurled the [[Lich King]] back into the mortal world. [[Ner'zhul|Ner'zhul's]] prison slammed into the glacier and created the [[Frozen Throne]]. The impact was seen as far away as the [[Grizzly Hills]]. Here the Lich King remained until freed by [[Arthas]], and the two beings merged into Arthas' body. From the [[Icecrown Citadel]], he commands the [[Scourge]].
 
 
Apparently, troops of the [[Scarlet Crusade]] succeeded in approaching the stronghold during a counter offensive, but in the end were repelled by the Scourge. [[Orman of Stromgarde]] was the highest-ranking human among the countless casualties of this failed assault.

In ''[[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]]'', Icecrown, previously ravaged by the tremendous force unleashed when Arthas and the Lich King merged into a single being, has been heavily fortified by the Scourge. Massive walls and ramparts have been erected throughout the region and [[Angrathar the Wrathgate]] bars entry from the bordering [[Dragonblight]], while the reconstructed [[Icecrown Citadel]] looms overhead.

== Notes ==
 
* Due to the heavy Scourge presence in Icecrown, both the Horde and the Alliance are using flying gunships as their base of operations in Icecrown instead of the traditional ground base. However, both Horde and Alliance have an Argent base camp known as [[Argent Vanguard]], which is located in the southeast of the zone. New players to the zone should start here in order to pick up important quests in terms of zone relevance. <ref>http://www.getbuffed.com/getbuffed/videos/show/5</ref>
 
* In ''Lands of Mystery'', the zone was called "Icecrown Glacier".
