Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

This, the tomb of Tunka'lo's warriors, is supposed to be a serene place, free from the terror of the elements. Frostfloe Deep has been invaded by a strange force, one that disturbs the spirits of the fallen and blurs my memories of my own life. It's as though our deeds and memories are being erased from history. In life, this totem was a symbol of my authority. It is the last true link I have to this world. Take it, use it to restore calm to the tomb, and then return it to Camp Tunka'lo.

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.

  • Memories of StormhoofThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    When the bronze dragonflight gifted me with immortality and set me on the path of the witness, Nozdormu entrusted me with the Lorehammer. The hammer's reaction to your findings means that time has gone awry here and it is our duty to restore the true timeline. We must find it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Where Time Went WrongThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    The Lorehammer can help us correct the damage to the timeline, but only if we can discover where the history was originally corrupted. From Chieftain Swiftspear and your findings at Frostfloe Deep, we know that the change happened around the time of Stormhoof's death.
