Vlad's specific use of the word "stash" suggested to me that he expected 
them to be sent "elsewhere". I seem to recall (perhaps incorrectly) that a 
teleport block was in place, so teleporting Savn and Mother to safety was 
not an option. (The question of Sethra being strong enough to break the 
block, notwithstanding.) I imagined it as a "bag of holding", but 
essentially he directly implied the necromantic gate option to put them in 
another world temporarily. I think Sethra acknowledges this when she ticks 
of her reasoning that Kiera couldn't be expected to "stash" anyone anywhere 
at all.

This was also the impression I took away for Icewind's location. No 
particular textev about it, just something in Vlad and Sethra's conversation 
that suggested to me once again the "bag of holding" scenario. Iceflame 
wasn't actually there, but it was somewhere "nearby" from whence it could be 
summoned at a moment's notice, whether it was a "pocket universe" or the 
Universe Next Door.
