Shielded Secrets (Horde)

Shielded Secrets is a Horde-only quest for level 10-45 in Stormheim. It is step 6 of 7 in The Secret of the Shieldmaidens storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Stormheim at 60.9, 65.3. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 6,150 experience and money.

Description

Our goal lies within that vault, <class>. I don't have time to explain in detail - just know that it is vital to the Forsaken that we succeed.

The shieldmaidens have proven tenacious in their defense, but I believe there may be another way in. A chosen few of their order are allowed entrance, and I need you to find out how.

In the town I have seen intricately engraved shields which I believe are passed down from these champions. The scenes they depict may be the key to passing into the vault.

The shield text sometimes bugs out and doesn't appear. In case you missed it, here it is:
(NOTE: The order you find the shields doesn't matter, the text is always in this order)

1.
The engravings on the shield depict a goddess of the shieldmaidens, watching over them in battle.
Above her is inscribed the name "Eyir".

2.
This shield appears to show various trials undergone by the warriors of Skold-Ashil.
A depiction of the nearby temple adorns the center.

3.
An image of a shieldmaiden is carved on this shield, kneeling before an elaborate spear.
The priestesses of the temple stand nearby, silently observing the rite.

4.
The scene on this shield shows one of the shieldmaidens hovering above a statue of an ancient champion of Skold-Ashil.
The shieldmaiden is glowing with a radiant aura, and is held aloft by golden wings.

5.
Upon this shield, an engraving of Eyir stands at the entrance to the titan vault.
She appears to be welcoming a winged champion of the shieldmaidens inside.

6.
This shield bears an image of a winged shieldmaiden lifting the body of a fallen vrykul from a battlefield.
The shieldmaiden's image appears eerily similar to that of a Val'kyr.
