The Ice Stone is a fixed device located in Ashenvale, Desolace, Stranglethorn Vale, Searing Gorge, Silithus, Hellfire Peninsula, and Slave Pens, during the Midsummer Fire Festival. These ice stones radiate a bitter cold, chilling the air around it and the platform on which it sits. Deep within its facets, a blue light pulses, waiting (to be melted!)
