Empire of Ice is an Adventure Pack in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure that comes with a new chapter, two magical items, four stickers, four trading cards and the Skylander, Slam Bam. In the console versions, Haldor, the Great Northern Wizard, seeks the Skylanders to help him save his village of Vindlevale from the Ice Ogres, who have turned the village into an icy wasteland by blocking out the sun using a giant ice wall they built.
Description
Empire of Ice is a frozen winterland colonized by Ice Ogres. As the only level in Spyro's Adventure themed around ice, it includes wide stretches of slippery ground, several ice mazes, and a unique breed of frozen blue cacti. Snowflakes drift down from the level's partially cloudy blue sky.
History
According to a Story Scroll, stories are still built around the greatest catapult ever built: The Leveler, which has defended the warm valley of Vindlevale for centuries. Without the Leveler, there is little chance that Vindlevale could defend itself against the cold-loving armies of the Ice Ogres and Snowclops that dwell nearby.
