have to use on the giants currently fighting, don't forget to kill NPC that spawns for quest credit.
Let me guess, you're here because you picked up the quest and tried to use Shard of the Earth on the Grizzly Hills Giants who are throwing boulders into the chasm over Thor Modan and got Invalid Target, right?
The correct place you need to go is the Boulder Hills field just behind, where Runed Giants are fighting Grizzly Hills Giants. Run over to a Grizzly Hills Giant and use the Shard of the Earth to buff and heal them, and a Thor Modan Mole Machine will arrive, containing an Iron Rune Avenger who will engage you in combat to retaliate for what you just did. Kill him and you now have 1 buffed Giant and 1 Iron Dwarf slain. Repeat until complete!

What to do
Description
The sons of iron have used their runes to enthrall many of my brothers and are using them to break the siege on Thor Modan. I wish we did not have to fight them, but we have no choice. My giants will not hold out long against them. I have imbued this earthen shard with a blessing that will aid our allies. Take it with you to the battle in the Boulder Hills to the north, and use it to reassure and fortify my brethren. Kill any iron dwarves who would stand in your way.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Raining Down Destruction
Beneath us is iron's ancient bastion, Thor Modan. Thousands of years ago, the stone giants tore the land asunder, collapsing part of the city and exposing much of the rest. Even now, the iron dwarves attempt to reclaim their old capital, but we will not permit it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Into the Breach
If we can't overcome the defenders inside Thor Modan, the iron dwarves can hold out forever. The Earthen are bravely taking on the constructs built by the sons of iron, but they cannot break into the city. The tunnels narrow too quickly for my fellow giants to be of use, so our options are few.
