Description

They call themselves the Kvaldir. My people have legends about them; we call them the tuk-hariq - walkers of the fog.

My village was destroyed by these giant mist-men. Everyone I knew was slain, including my father Ariut.

By tuskarr law I must seek retribution against those who shed my kin's blood.

I am but a fisherman and I've not yet passed the test of manhood... I cannot stand toe-to-toe with the vile Kvaldir.

If you were to carry out my blood duty for me, I will be in great debt to you.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pollen from the SourceBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    It's obvious! The bloodspore moths are the entities responsible for pollination on these plains. It must be something that happens within the moth's internal system that acts as a catalyst for this pollen to work. It's all starting to make sense now, <name>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gamel the CruelBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    My own father was slain by the leader of this raiding party, Gamel the Cruel. He has made his abode inside a cave on the beach. You've dealt with his men already. Finish what you've started, <name>. Avenge my father and I will share with you what little I still have.
