The Great Ice Cliff was an animus-touched wall that bordered part of the Ice Kingdom. The cliff shot icicle spears at any dragon who was not an IceWing if they attempted to fly over the wall into the Ice Kingdom. It was an animus gift from an unnamed IceWing animus and was named the gift of defense.[1] The only way for a dragon from another tribe to fly over without getting killed is to put on one of three animus-touched bracelets that prevent the Great Ice Cliff's effects,[2] known as the gift of diplomacy. In The Dangerous Gift, the Great Ice Cliff was destroyed by Snowfall, who used the gift of strength to smash it.

Description

The Great Ice Cliff stretched from one horizon to the other in a sheer unbroken line.[3] It was huge.[4]

History

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Winter told Hailstorm while going to the Ice Kingdom that the Great Ice Cliff shot spears at dragons who weren't IceWings.

Typhoon mentioned that IceWing hybrids, such as himself, could cross over the Great Ice Cliff because "apparently half IceWing is IceWing enough."


The Lost Continent Prophecy

Queen Snowfall asked Jerboa III to extend the Great Ice Cliff to protect them from the LeafWings and SilkWings, but not only did she not want to, but Jerboa was also unable to complete her request due to animus magic currently being broken.

Queen Snowfall realizes that isolation is the root of a number of problems that the IceWings face, so she uses the gift of strength to destroy a section of the Great Ice Cliff. She mentions that she plans to return with a larger group later and destroy the remaining sections.
