Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

The Alliance isn't the only force opposing us in Grizzly Hills. The iron dwarves have firm control of the eastern coast, although Thor Modan, to the northeast, is besieged by stone giants. A skilled warrior uses an enemy's weakness against him and we would be fools to ignore the vulnerability of the iron dwarves at Thor Modan. Show the iron dwarves no mercy. Slay any and all who would stand in your way. The 'sons of iron' will learn to fear the Horde.

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.

  • The Runic PropheciesGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    Brann's journal also contained a guide to iron dwarf symbols. I've inscribed these on a keystone which will help you to understand the words inscribed on the rune plates. From the journal entries, it seems Brann may be chasing after clues to the origins of his people.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • In the Name of LokenGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    The iron dwarves stand as one of the fiercest and most coordinated foes in Northrend. Wherever we have traveled, they have battled us with the name of Loken on their lips. We must learn who this Loken is and what he seeks. The locals may be of help.
