"To pay tribute to yet another amazing Infinity Engine series, we fired over a set of questions to three of the key Icewind Dale developers - Josh Sawyer (designer on Icewind Dale and Heart of Winter, lead designer on Icewind Dale II), Chris Parker (producer on Icewind Dale, designer on Icewind Dale II), and Scott Everts (technical designer on Icewind Dale, Heart of Winter, and Icewind Dale II)."

The Stone of Askavar is a Mod for BG1 which takes you on the search of a powerful stone located in the ancient elven community of Askavar. It's a bit like the Heart Stone Gem quest from Icewind Dale but this time you have to race to find the stone before members of the Black Gauntlet get to the stone themselves. The Mod adds several new areas to the game and includes more spells and items. Note there is no support for the BGT world map in this release. If you want to play The Stone of Askavar with the big world map you will have to wait until a BGT version is released.
