"Me and Frostillicus go back a long way. I used to share a bathroom with Frostillicus. In fact, I got a real funny story about that! Actually, it's not so much funny as it is long."

Frostillicus is a Simpsons reference, episode 4F24. Jasper "cryogenically" freezes himself in the Kwik-E-Mart freezer so he could see a future where robot wives were cheap and effective. Apu decides to make money off of the frozen man by calling him "Frostillicus" and charging admission. The above quote is from Abe (Grandpa) Simpson, who stood by the exhibit and rambled as he is wont to do.

Also, part of the quest completion text is: "Whenever the wind whistles through the trees, I will always hear your name." I think this is a subtle reference to yet another Simpsons episode, "Bart the Lover". Bart's final letter to Ms. Krabappel states: "Any time I hear the wind blow it will whisper the name... Edna."

Description

The Frostmaul giants wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for that damned Frostilicus. When the ground shook and the bridge broke, he and his fellow water elementals seeped out of the earth and took over the bottom of Frostwhisper Gorge, forcing the giants out. Damn you, Frostilicus! You would do me a great honor if you would send him back into the ground, {class}. You will find him to the south, at the bottom of the gorge.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Chips off the Old BlockWinterspring · Level 15-30

    My mysterious benefactors gave me more than one task. The second task took me farther south, to the Frostwhisper Gorge. I was surprised to learn that the gorge's bridge had been broken in two, preventing land travel from one side to the other.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • WinterwaterWinterspring · Level 15-30

    I don't want our gambit to fail, <name>. Such a failure would only draw attention to our efforts, giving Umbranse an opportunity to hone his defenses. No, we have to do this right the first time. The Frostwhisper Gorge, to the south, provides us access to powerful ice elementals.
