TheWoWDBMake sure to pick up Blood of the Chosen from Knight-Captain Drosche on the Skybreaker before you begin this escort, as the Ymirheim Defenders that spawn during the event all count toward the 20 kills you need for the other quest (as long as you contribute non-negligible DPS).

You do not receive credit for Blood of the Chosen if you contribute little or no DPS during the fights. As a holy priest, I just kept all the NPCs healed and buffed; the quest was very easy this way, but I unwittingly realized later that this credits you none of the kills.

Description
Greetings {class}. Our troops have been attempting to storm Ymirheim for some time, but these vrykul are far more vicious than any we've faced before. They've been ambushing us repeatedly as we try to make it up the pass, and we've lost a lot of men. If you want to lend yourself to the battle and help get my squad to the gates of Ymirheim safely, we will gladly reward you for your efforts. Once at the gates, we'll dig in and wait for reinforcements to catch up to us.
