Description
The tone of Brann's note suggests he meant to bury something with the note, maybe a pack of some kind. You're sure this was all you found? Okay, I'm going to have you take one of these frosthounds with you. The frostborn use them for tracking. Bring it to the destroyed camp and let it get Brann's scent. It should at least lead you to the location of those missing possessions, and if we're lucky, Brann himself.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- On Brann's Trail
After the discovery of Brann's journal in Grizzly Hills, we've only had one other communication from Brann. A mysterious note found its way to Explorers' League headquarters in Ironforge, with no indication of where it came from.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Pieces to the Puzzle
Thank the Light that someone got my message. Now that I'm safe from the iron dwarves, I need to ask your help with something. I've got a lead on Norgannon's keystone, which guards access to Ulduar's archives, but the Titans divided it into two pieces and secreted them away.
