At the end of this line you're not actually meant to kill Jotun. If you you kill him too quickly and he dies, you''ll need to abandon the quest and start back over in new Dalaran.

Attack him slowly and around 20% he will turn friendly and give you the spark.

Description

We must reclaim the Silver Hand before those with evil intent can seize it. To free it from its wards, we need relics called the Sparks of Tyr. I have one, as does my brother, Galford. He journeyed to Northrend to seek aid from the Tyr's homeland, but has not returned. I must ask you to find him, and his Spark.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Mysterious PaladinLevel 10-45

    It appears we have been afforded a unique opportunity. A small order of paladins has come forward claiming to know the location of Tyr's tomb. They say they are the protectors of his warhammer, but that the ancient weapon is now imperiled.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Silver HandLevel 10-45

    Too many know of its location, the tomb must be closed forever. First, we must reclaim the hammer. Tyrosus has lent us a force to aid in the recovery of the hammer, and some of my order will meet us there as well, but I fear even that may not be enough. I'm glad we'll have you with us.

The storyline at a glance

The Silver Hand has 3 steps, from The Mysterious Paladin to The Silver Hand.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dalaran (2), Light's Hope Chapel (1).
