The Icelace River flowed southwest down from the Great Glacier, through the far western part of Narfell and into central Damara. It flowed fast enough so that it never froze over, even in the harshest of winters and was deadly cold if someone fell in, making it useful for protecting the northeastern border of Damara from aggressive Nar tribes. If the river was needed to repel the tribesmen and blightlords, king Gareth Dragonsbane of Damara would have expanded his borders to better defend the river.
