Description

Definitely... I can see exactly what the core must look like. If any of the frostborn have seen it, they'll be sure to recognize the description. There's no time to waste, let's get straight to business. Go talk to King Stormheart and request his aid... he's sure to know someone who can help us find the core. And be nice about it will you - he's very respected around here.

Where to go

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.

  • Aid from the Explorers' LeagueThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    Interesting. I don't see any locking mechanisms on the shell. That suggests to me that it may take more than just finding the other piece to combine the keystone. Take the shell back to the expedition leader, Lagnus, at Frosthold.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fervor of the FrostbornThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    I be more than willing ta lend my shelter and home ta travelers in need, but I'm nae too keen ta force my people inte yer affairs. I'll tell ye what... my people are warriors, straight and true. On the day a frostborn becomes a man, he has ta prove himself in battle.
