==Plot summary==
===Hannah and the Ice Caves===
{{main|Hannah and the Ice Caves}}

At the beginning of the story, [[Galem]] pulled Valin aside and gave him a special mission: Valin was to incapacitate the Snow Faerie so that she could not interfere with the Thieves Guild's plan to take the [[Heart of the Mountain]].  To accomplish this, Valin laid down in front of Taelia's doorstep and faked unconsciousness.  When Taelia discovered the collapsed Mynci outside of her house, she took pity on him and brought him into her igloo to warm up.  As soon as he was inside Taelia's house, Valin began to attack the Snow Faerie, and he used a magic wand that was lying around Taelia's house to trap her in a solid block of ice.

Valin then returned to the Thieves Guild's camp near [[Terror Mountain]] and reported his success back to Galem. [[Masila]] rewarded him for completing his mission.  Much later, Valin is seen inside Terror Mountain, fighting against the [[Bringer of Night|Bringer of Night's]] icy skeleton minions alongside the rest of the Thieves Guild.
