Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter - Trials of the Luremaster

While the heroes of Heart of Winter seek a way to prevent the hostilities between the Ten Towns and the barbarian tribes from escalating, a mysterious guest has settled in the Whistling Gallows Inn of Lonelywood. The halfling Hobart Stubbletoes offers the promise of riches and fame to all real heroes willing to join him in a faraway adventure. If accepted, he will teleport the adventurers to the middle of Anauroch desert, to a derelict stronghold called Castle Maluradek. Many secrets await to be uncovered within, but for that, one must first challenge the trials of the Luremaster.

Trials of the Luremaster is a free expansion for the role-playing game Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter. It adds a new a set of dungeons in and below Castle Maluradek, tied together by a unique storyline. Other additions include monsters that were not seen in the previous two campaigns (such as beholders and jackalweres), new portraits, items and bug fixes. The expansion also removes the level cap for dual-classed characters. Unlike the previous campaigns, this expansion puts more emphasis on solving puzzles, often accompanied by cryptic clues. Once teleported, the adventurers cannot leave the castle before finishing the entire quest.
