Akar Kesell And Crenshinibon
Also looking at the mountain behind the picture does give the idea that it could be in Icewind Dale, I to be honest hope it is Because im in the middle of reading The Legend of Drizzt: The Crystal Shard sooo it would be good to see this come to life.
Actually " Akar Kesell and Crenshinibon " is the right answer. Google it if you have any doubts. The power to know the secrets is at your very fingertips. Seek and you shall be given enlightenment. Or you know, just kinda blither on your way accepting or ignoring those who came before you.

ps... Safirewolf93 well done.
Yes. A shame they took a little liberty and spelled it incorrectly. But it seems to be the most fitting answer.
This is after the events of the Crystal Shard... "One hundred and twenty nine years later in 1485 DR, an Arcane Brotherhood agent's apprentice gathered an expedition of dwarves to explore Kelvin's Cairn for signs of Kessel's corpse. What they found was a wight - Kessel risen in undeath. Desperate to reconnect with Crenshinibon, which had been destroyed in the intervening years, Kessel was drawn to any remnant of the artifact's power. He led his discoverers to the site of his tower Cryshal-Tirith. Dust from Cryshal-Tirith when it was destroyed had fused with the ice - which came to be known as black ice - but it retained no remnant of Crenshinibon's intelligence. The dwarven miners in the group however began to attack each other after they had touched it - much to Kessel's amusement. The wight encouraged the last remaining dwarf, Baerick Hammerstone to begin crafting items from the black ice."

The failed wizard Akar Kessel, left to die in the Spine of the World, found Crenshinibon, the Crystal Shard, a magical, sentient crystal with the ability to lend power to its wielder, make tower sanctuaries in the likeness of itself, and insinuate itself into the minds of others, including that of its wielder.
Akar Kessell and Crenshinibon of the Icewind Dale Trilogy; Indeed only the most hardened DnD nerd would have discovered that.
Well done.

The problem with this is Akar Kessell as been long gone, was weak and an uninteresting character and Crenshinibon died with the red dragon and the illithid when their shared the dracolich body, known as The Ghost King and was destroyed making the Cadderly the new Ghost king. Although some Black Ice from Crenshinibon as been found Near Icewind Dale and the next module is set in Icewind Dale and Valindra seems hellbent on raising a Dracolich, I don't see anything in the Anagram other then Crenshinibon.
Stop Quoting Icewind Dale that game is comepletely different and has nothing to do with neverwinter or dungeons and dragons they said they would reveal the answer this week so leave it at that.

The next module for Neverwinter is called Curse of Icewind Dale and since when is Icewind Dale nothing to do with D&D? Icewind Dale is set in the D&D Forgotten Realms campaign and is based around the D&D 2nd edition ruleset , I'm not even into D&D and I know that.

Aww. Don't be such a spoil sport. If you don't want to solve the puzzle that's fine but let's not ruin everybody else's fun.

from the trailers it would seem the story is of the black ice. as this is from a drizzt story i find it fitting. cursed unsporting of the marketing department not to make the anagram "Online Ranked Sirens Backlash" possibly Vanna missed an "S" tile (highly unlikely). printer ran out of ink maybe?
(allusion to Wheel of Fortune television show and Vanna White's name used without permission or compensation. Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment disavow prior knowledge of or any part taken in the composition of this post)
So no one at Perfect World thought that perhaps they should make sure they got the name correct for the main character they're building this entire module around?
Not only is it wrong here, but it's also been changed for the title of the Forgotten Realms wiki page that people have been showing as contributing proof: http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Akar_Kessel (note the page's URL and references to him throughout are still correct).
Also who added that non-lore section about the year 1485 DR? Was it someone from PW or was it someone who'd seen the youtube trailer for the 3rd module?
I would hope PerfectWorld have been working with (at least consulting with) Wizards of the Coast & R.A. Salvatore to make sure they don't screw the content up. This sort of thing makes me less than hopeful.
What's next? Do the Babarians of the North recall their legendary hero Wolfgur Son of Bornagor? Are the Dwarfs in the region members of the Bighammer clan?
And to those asking about the image of the two bladed elf earlier in the thread, yes that is Drizzt; no other elf, Drow or otherwise, had lavender eyes. (Of course just because it was that way in the books maybe that means nothing?)
Not sure where it came from though, is it definitely NW related?
Edit: would appear it's not NW related: http://my-realms.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/dark-weavings-incorporating-crystal.html
I think the notes says the future of Neverwinter should have traits of some other great online worlds. Like ultima online and Shadowbane. It says we will have player housing and the ability to build player and guild cities, with open world pvp to control castles and destroy/defend player cities. Better crafting with the new ability "Tinkering" and "Carpentry" and "Fishing". With custom boats and ships, and ocean battles, the ability to have 8-10 person groups instead of lousy 5. The note should be more of a novel found by the backpack.
Akar Kesell, and Crenshinibon also called "The Crystal Shard"
During a trip to Icewind Dale in 1351 DR, Dendybar the Mottled persuaded Kessel to kill Morkai in return for a place of power in the Host Tower. Kessel, blinded by greed, killed Morkai - the nearest thing he had to a father. Dendybar, in return, left him to freeze in the snow.
By chance (or perhaps not) Kessel came upon Crenshinibon. The crystal shard dominated his weak mind easily. Together, he and the artifact dominated an army of orcs, goblins and trolls as well as others over the next five years, allying them with the local Reghedmen and the Balor lord Errtu in an attempt to take over the Ten-Towns before moving on to loftier goals.

Thank the gods someone pointed this out, I was about to lose it completely about the lack of esses.

Legacy of the Crystal Shard would be black ice... since that is what is left of the crystal shard

Just my guess...
It would lead us to Icewind Dale Whoot Whoot
