The Icedale Guild primarily inhabited a series of cobblestone towers and bridges strung across several icebergs, but owned extensive overseas holdings, including the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Tavern|Tavern]] and [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Dwarf Fortress|Dwarf Fortress]].

== Founding Period ==▼
According to erjan101, the Icedale Guild was a branch of a larger trading company that exists outside of the world borders. He claims that the Guild still exists elsewhere and that other nations on the server have been incorrectly claiming that the abandonment of the glacier towers in the southwest was the end of the Guild as a whole, but instead the guild only ended its operations in this region of the world.
Icedale Guild is one of the oldest states on the server, founded within days of the server's first hosting. Given that the icebergs provided very little construction materials, Icedale's first structure was a cottage on [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Taiga Island|Taiga Island]] to the southwest of the icebergs. From here, it mined cobblestone to make bridges across the icebergs. The tavern was built in this time as well.▼
== History ==
Icedale Guild fell into slight border conflict with [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/The Water Boys|The Water Boys]] upon the foundation of their state in the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/South Sea|South Sea]] east of Icedale, as Icedale had largely claimed the entire South Sea. However, this conflict was resolved by giving The Water Boys a relatively small amount of territory surrounding them, sandwiched between Icedale and [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Rhett|Rhett]]. The Water Boys later supplemented their relatively small land claim with holdings throughout the rest of the world's ocean, even as far away as the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Sea of Goomlandia|Sea of Goomlandia]].▼

During the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Middle Period|Middle Period]], Icedale Guild engaged in half of the conflicts in that period. It led the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Order of Icedale|Order of Icedale]] in the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Icedale-Rhett Crusade|Icedale-Rhett Crusade]] against Rhett, as well as escalated the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Montrose-Icedale War|Montrose-Icedale War]] from a minor interpersonal diplomatic incident to an open war. It also built the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Dwarf Fortress|Dwarf Fortress]] during this time.[[File:Icedale map.JPG|thumb|189x189px|The general vicinity of the Icedale Guild's holdings in the Middle Period.

▲During the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Barren Period|Barren Period]], erjan101 became inactive, along with much of the server. As such, the lands that Icedale had "inherited" from the South Sea Coalition were viewed as up for grabs by the states that wanted them. These states, Montrose, HUM, and Rhett, disavowed Icedale's claims to the land for several reasons. First, they had been in the Prosperity League with the partial goal of claiming those land for themselves; second, they viewed Icedale, so far removed from those lands, as having no valid claim to them compared to themselves; and third, Icedale, only having one person, had no need for so much land.
▲The issue of Icedale's land claims was resolved at the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Taco Bell Conference|Taco Bell Conference]], held IRL at a Taco Bell, among the leaders of Montrose, HUM, and Rhett; FlyingGMM, [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/GoatWhisperer|GoatWhisperer]], and [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/AbstractEgg|AbstractEgg]] respectively. The lands were divided, with Rhett receiving all of The Water Boys' land (along with their extensive amount of fished items) and Montrose and HUM splitting the lands of [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/DFIC|DFIC]] among themselves. "Icedale Proper", the lands held by Icedale prior its "inheritance" of South Sea Coalition lands, were left alone.
Erjan101 came back to the server in the
The entirety of Icedale Proper was incorporated into the Sylvian Union on February 24th, 2019, at the Sylvian parliament's passage of the "Sylvian Continental Doctrine" bill. The structures remain mostly intact from when Icedale Guild existed, and have been designated as heritage sites by the [[International Board of World Heritage]].
▲Erjan101 came back to the server in the [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Repopulation Period|Repopulation Period]], and vehemently disputed the holding of "his" lands by Montrose, HUM, and Rhett. However, given that these states had grown in his absence, and he could enforce very little, he dropped the claims, and founded [[https://lgsmc.fandom.com/wiki/Tsarevets|Tsarevets]] in the southeast of the map. In this, erjan101 also disbanded Icedale, and relinquished his holding of the icebergs.
