Or... it could be a common expression? Being a "slave to" something is not a concept exclusive to metal. Seriously. What is it with metal fans trying to think every common expression in existence is a reference to their favorite metal song? THEY ARE GENERIC PHRASES. YOUR MUSIC IS NOT SPECIAL. GET OVER IT.

You'd think this would be a simple quest but you'd be wrong.
You run into the mine, take out the guards and just talk to the slaves and click on the "You're free" chat option. Then they will either:
1. Run out of the mine, free
2. Go berserk and attack you
3. Rant, rave and throw themselves off the ledges at the back of the caveHow quick you finish this quest depends on how lucky you get.
The entrance to the mine is at 57, 57 right in the middle Ymirheim. It looks like a cave on the world map.

Description
Our people are being captured and put to work as slaves in the saronite mines of Ymirheim, the vrykul stronghold in the middle of Icecrown. The Lich King has them mining that unholy ore day and night. I made a promise to Highlord Fordring that we would get those wretches out of there alive, and that's exactly what we will do. Unfortunately, I've been ordered to stay on this gunship and serve as an ambassador to the Valiance Expedition. Will you please rescue them in my stead, {name}?
