Icewind Dale general:

So you’re going to want to pull Icy Wasteland, Frozen Moon, Mountain Pass, Witchwood, Storm, Elements - Wind, and the walking/running from the various NPCs (Cleric Spells - Kyra, Wizard Spells - Erzan, Male Fighter, Female Rogue), the The Birds.

Also useful: Ranger’s Request - blighted woods mood.

Towns and Villages - Magnimar (big city), Brindle Town (village, horses)), Attack on Sandpoint (village by the sea), Local Heroes (inns, shops), Phandalin (village, inns, shops, hunting lodge, shrines), Wagon Journey (caravans, horses), Waterdeep/Baldur’s Gate (large cities with many kinds of seasons and weather and times), Bustling Port City (waterfront, ships, docks), Friendly Tavern (inn), Stony Beach (more shore/waves/gulls/weather), High Seas Battle (pirates!), High Seas (ship), Haunted Fortunes (several sets for waterside activities), Mountain Pass/Fort Ranick (mountain exploration). Down Comes Rain/Black Magga Battle could also work for more dangerous water in towns.

Using the above sets for lakes (the “creaking trees” and various wind elements) along with River Journey would be good for lakes. Pirates, etc, as above.

For the tribes, use Friendly Tavern, turn off the “chairs and bumps” and “coins” elements, kick up the fireplace element, and the “manly men” element. Use some wind elements outside too.

There is a Flooded Cavern set that has a waterfall, and Underwater Dungeon has underwater sounds.

The set Dwarves, Gnomes, and Umbridge (from Dragon of Icefang Peak) has a waterfall pool, along with dwarves, etc. Toe, Shrine, and Axeholm also has more dwarven mining sounds. Matt Mercer Nostoc has a great dwarven NPC. Using some of the town and inn sounds with the echoing sounds of the mines will make them dwarven. Blacksmith or Stone Giant Battle have good forge sounds.

Dragon Battle or Wyrmwraith would be good for your skeleton dragon, just kick up the bony sounds with Zombie Battle, the elements “skeleton bones” and “scratching bones”. Zombie Battle or Undead Battle for your necromancer’s friends. Nyarlathotep is also a good one for abandoned spooky tunnels. You can use the spells from Wizard Spells - Ezran, or Spellcaster - Sorcerer/Sorceress for the necromancer themselves. Dungeon Depths for the tunnels might work too.

The scrying room with the magic portal could be done with Shimmering Veils or Mountaintop Portal. The remorhaz could be done with the Giant Sand Worm (Sci-Fi Player) with background cold noises, water, and furnace/steam releases from the Blacksmith set.

For the seal, walrus, and polar bears, you might like the Owlbear Battle or Tiger Battle, along with Thistletop, as there’s a Bunyip Battle mood which could be great for a seal.

The icebergs could be done with Stone Giant Battle (giant slam attacks or giant footsteps) combined with some of the Stony Beach/High Seas noise, plus some chilly wind.

Bugbear Battle could do for the barbarians. Necromancer as above, with Refuge of Dreamers for the chapel, Elements - Wind for the elemental.

The ice statues could be represented with Dream Quests II’s Ceramic Guardians mood, combined with the “ice crystals” element from Mountaintop Portal. Use Spellcaster - Sorceress for the Ice Witch, along with perhaps some ice spells from the universal one shot and perhaps the white dragon breath weapon (for a cone of cold or something) from the White Dragon (Mountainside) set.

I hope that helps!

There is a Goblin Battle for all your goblin needs, and the Cultists set (Sci-Fi Player) has lots of chanting and screaming and chain-rattling and all that good stuff.

[HECook]

Yetis, bears, and giant cats can be represented by the Owlbear Battle or Tiger Battle sets, though you’ll likely have to turn off the forest/jungle environmental sounds for something colder. Orcs have their own battles, and there is a Giant Rat Battle as well as a wererat battle in the Toe, Shrine, and Axeholm set (or Dungeon of the Mad Mage II). Cultist and rites of sacrifice I covered, dwarves, pirates, zombies and goblins too. Bands of ruffians and assassins can be represented by Sinister Secrets I or II!

My group just finished Lost Mine of Phandelver, and will be starting Dragon of Icepire Peak (DOIP). After this, we plan on running the Tyranny of Dragons campaign. I’ve found “Greenest in Flames”, and “Raider’s Camp” for the Hoard of the Dragon Queen, but that’s all I can find. Are there any more soundsets for this adventure/campaign? I’m hoping that there will be complete soundsets for them by the time we finish DOIP.

[HECook]

Both Greenest in Flames and Raider’s Camp are Community Content, which means someone here on the boards made them (I am uncertain of the creator).

I can certainly suggest soundsets to fulfill what you’d need for the subsequent chapters if you tell me what sorts of things are in them (locations, monsters, moods, etc) if you’d like!

[Thorin]

Hello, HECook! I’ve read some of your other posts, and am a fan of your sage advice and work! Keep up the good work. I am grateful to those who made the Community Content versions of “Greenest in Flames” and “Raider’s Camp”. These will get the Hoard of the Dragon Queen off to a good start. As time permits, I’ll gather the info and take you up on this offer.

Also, I can work on assembling them myself. [ Me being only partially lazy. ] I’m learning how to use the Campaign Manager & Soundset Creator, and these are great tools! The Syrinscape team and the work they’ve done is amazing.

That being said, I must say that one of the things I enjoy most about being a SuperSyrin subscriber is having ready-made soundsets for official content. As old as the Tyranny of Dragons now is, and how long its been requested (from this and other threads), it seems like it would be available by now. I keep hoping to that end.
