Awesome costume. Mildred is up the ramp into the mines, hard to miss.

Interesting side note, if you've earned the achievement "For The Children" and your character is male, you will lose the title "Patron" and gain the title "Matron" for the duration of the disguise.
The costume is usable in all druid forms, including Flight Form if you manage to stay at the small area of the opening to the mine. Sky-diving giant vrykul women ftw.

What to do
Description
Our deal is made then, {name}. You help me get out of these chains and I'll help you find your little green friend. The Hyldnir who runs this mine is known as Mildred the Cruel -- and with good reason. Tell her you've been sent to lend a hand with the mines. Do whatever she asks until she trusts you with the keys to my shackles.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Crone's Bargain
Yes, it must be the little green prisoner you're after... We might be able to help each other. You're not going to get the goblin out of here by force. Not alive, anyway. Among my people I am known as a Yrkvinn, a practitioner of illusions. As you can see, the Hyldnir have made me their prisoner.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Discipline
Let's start you off with something straightforward. The male vrykul that work the mines for us do so against their will... purely out of fear of our blades. Once in a while, one of them will lose their motivation. Find any uncooperative vrykul and put them in their place. Take this disciplining rod.
