This quest requires that you be 110 to even put it in your journal. If you do Stormheim early on, you may complete his other quest chain and then see him with a grey exclamation over his head. Not a bug....just an odd design.

Description

In a time before memory, the Naglfar was the prize of Helya's fleet. It would seem that it has lived on to serve her once more. Now, the dread ship sails the sea of souls, and cuts through the mist unseen by the living. The kvaldir must have a way to summon her, and this is what you must seek. Find her berth and board the Naglfar. Put an end to the dread ship, and the souls of the Tideskorn may be redeemed.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To Honor the FallenStormheim · Level 10-45

    Souls are not the only plunder Helya craves, and the kvaldir are ever eager to please. Among their spoils are the venerable blades of fallen heroes who dared stand against Helya's minions. These blades belong in a place of honor, not among their wretched kind.
