Only if he's eaten recently.
Oh, and be sure to notice that after you defeat your inner turmoil, your soul is lightened. It is advisable to try to jump off the mountain at this point. Gave me a bit of a giggle.

Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP
Description
We braved the Rivenwood because of my troubled dreams concerning my worg life-friend, Ulfang. He has called out for help, and you must go to him. But, you do not have the means to speak with him, or walk amongst the other worgs. I know a way. First, you must cleanse your inner turmoil. There is a shrine that sits at the top of Frostblade Peak, northeast of Camp Winterhoof. A single path leads up to it from the western base of the mountain. Meditate there and then return to me.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Artifacts of Steel Gate
I came out here for a different reason; an old friend of mine has been calling to me in my dreams. But now that I see these small things with their machines making a big hole in the ground, it makes my blood boil.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Spirits of the Ice
The ice elementals surrounding our glade were once our companions, but a volatile and destructive force has swept through the land, turning them against us! This is but one of the horrors my sisters and I have endured.
