IceWing gifts are animus-touched items, made by animus IceWings for the good of their tribe. While some gifts are held in the Forbidden Treasury of the IceWing palace, others are much larger and are scattered throughout the Ice Kingdom.

History

IceWings, being the first tribe to possess animus magic,[1] developed strict rules to prevent the corruption of their souls. IceWing animus dragons were only permitted to use their power once at a gifting ceremony[2] on their seventh hatching day.[citation needed] The gift was meant to be unique and to benefit their entire tribe. No IceWing gifts have been made in thousands of years, as Arctic was the last known IceWing animus.
