At the time of the novel, Bruenor was head of the Dwarves of Kelvin's Cairn. Since Bruenor has appeared in other 5e modules, and since the Battlehammer Dwarves are criminally underrepresented in RotFM, I'll focus on that. The Crystal Shard features core Salvatore characters like Drizzt, Bruenor, Regis, and Wulfgar. (For those who want to quibble about this, please see the disclaimer above.) Several NPCs from LotCS also appear in RotFM. The crystal remnants of this fortress are referred to as 'black ice' in LotCS and 'chardalyn' in RotFM. Apprentice wizard Akar Kessell found a very powerful sentient evil magic item that (among other things) could expand into a large crystal fortress, which ultimately was destroyed. Once upon a time, an Arcane Brotherhood caravan visited Icewind Dale. The (intentionally oversimplified) backstory goes something like this. Such a complaint is very much besides the point. So if I decide, say, that Regis is still the speaker of Lonelywood in my campaign world, please don't complain that it doesn't fit the lore timeline. I currently am researching Icewind Dale lore for the same reason. For example, when I ran the first part of BG:DiA early this year, I took A LOT of content directly from the D&D Next playtest adventure Murder in Baldur's Gate to flesh out the city. Rather, it is for DMs like me who want to mine related content for things that can be used to flesh out our campaign worlds. To any Drizzt fans and Realms lore nerds, the purpose of this post is NOT to convey that lore as historical fact in the campaign. Let's see if we can use any of this in our campaigns. Salvatore's novel The Crystal Shard and the D&D Next playtest adventure Legacy of the Crystal Shard.
