I have to say I kind of cracked up when He said, "Sif, is that you? No, a troll?.."

Spoiler
In Norse mythology, Sif, wife of Thor, was known for her beautiful golden hair. A story tells how Loki shears off her locks in a prank, just to be pummeled by Thor till Loki agrees to compensate Sif for her loss with a golden crown. Remember Lok'lira the Crone attaching a strand of hair to yours, one of the reasons Thorim is so startled by your appearance? Hats off to Blizzard's love for little details.
Here is the dialogue for the quest:
(Definite Spoilers!)
Thorim: Speak, <class>.
Player: Can you tell me what became of Sif?
Thorim: For a moment I thought you were my beloved Sif... that strand of hair... but no! It can't be... Sif is dead....
My... my brother.... killed her!Player: He did more than that, Thorim. He controls Ulduar now.
Thorim: Ulduar... I was sworn to protect Ulduar.
Sworn to protect the Terrace of the Makers.
Sworn to protect the pacts between the races of frost.
But I failed! I let my brother trick me. I let him turn me against my allies. He tricked me into blaming Sif's death on a dear friend, Arngrim, the king of the frost giants.
After I realized what I'd done... I... gave in to despair.Player: It needn't end this way.
Thorim: Who are you, little one? To come speak these words to the mighty Thorim...
I should... crush you!
Yet, you've delivered me from my stupor. Your presence here is a sign!
It was no accident that I mistook you for Sif. What would she think of me? I must prepare for battle.
I must avenge her death and liberate the titans' sacred grounds from my brother's madness!(Definite Spoilers End)
(Possible Spoilers)
Hmm, it appears that Lok'lira the Crone may be more than she appears.
Maybe him confusing you for Sif was mere illusion on her part, but maybe it was not.
(End Possible Spoilers)

Description
Sif? Is it truly you? No? A {race}? But for a moment.... Enough of this! The visions of my Sif have tormented me for far too long. It is time for me to avenge her, and to bring honor to her memory. My brother must pay!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Drakkensryd
This is it. You've passed all the tests of the Hyldsmeet... all but one. You've risen among our sisters' best and fiercest. The final test is at hand. The Drakkensryd - the true test of a Hyldnir's worth and warrior spirit.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mending Fences
If I hope to wrest control of the Temple of the Makers from my brother, I must make amends with my old allies. Perhaps by eliminating a common enemy, we may at least take a step towards renewing my friendship with the frost giants. Fjorn has besieged Dun Niffelem with giants of iron.
