TheWoWDB!SPOILER ALERT!
Brann Bronzebeard says: I can't thank you enough for all of your help in putting together the keystone. Great things will come of this, I assure you.
Brann Bronzebeard says: Iron dwarves... everywhere... they're making their way down from the top. They certainly are persistent.
Brann Bronzebeard says: They're trying to take down the plane! I can't pull up any steeper... you need to keep them off of us!
Brann Bronzebeard says: There are more up ahead - keep at it!
Brann Bronzebeard says: We're almost out... just a little bit farther.
Brann Bronzebeard says: Their numbers are unbelievable... I'm glad to hear King Stormheart came to your aid. I only hear good things of him - I think it's high time we meet.
Brann Bronzebeard says: Poor Creteus. He was a good keeper... I'm glad he at least got to see his task to completion, I imagine that's all that really mattered to him.
Brann Bronzebeard says: We're coming up on Frosthold. I would be very appreciative if you would introduce me to King Stormheart before you go. I believe we are both very much in his debt.Brann Bronzebeard says: By all the gods... it can't be... Muradin?
Yorg Stormheart says: What's that? You talkin' to me, lad?
Brann Bronzebeard says: Come on boy, there's no mistak'n it - it's definately you. Don't ya recognize your younger brother?
Yorg Stormheart says: My brother... yes... I do have brothers...
<Muradin clutches his head and reels for a moment as the memories rush back to him>
Yorg Stormheart says: ...Brann?
Brann Bronzebeard says: I cant believe this! You were dead! All accounts said so... what happened, Muradin. How did you get here?
Yorg Stormheart says: I... I dun know, Brann. I've been 'ere a long time... all I 'ave of me life before this place are flashes and nightmares.
Yorg Stormheart says: It's good te see you though, brother. More than words can say.
Brann Bronzebeard says: Indeed! Magni will be so happy to see you too! He's gotten nothing but bad news for a long while now, but this changes everything!
Brann Bronzebeard says: He's here in Northrend brother, looking for you. A seer in Wintergarde brought word that you were not dead, and he left Ironforge immediately to come find you.
Magni Bronzebeard yells: Look Lagnus, I consider you a capable man, but my patience is wearing thin. I know that Muradin is here, can you point me to him or not?
Brann Bronzebeard says: Speaking of which...
Magni Bronzebeard yells: Brother! There you are! I can barely believe my eyes... you're alive!
Yorg Stormheart says: Magni! Forgive me, the memories are comin' back slowly, brother.
Magni Bronzebeard says: It's so good to see you again, Muradin. And what's this I heard about you being a King in your own right now? The Bronzebeards were always destined to greatness.
Yorg Stormheart says: The frostborn have been very good to me. They're strong people
Magni Bronzebeard says: So it seems! And you haven't lost any muscle yourself. Do you remember anything of what happened, Muradin? Fate has turned ill in your absence.
Yorg Stormheart says: Not much, Magni. I've had nightmares of a human... tall... light hair... death black armor. His name rests on the tip of me tongue, but...
Yorg Stormheart says: ...Arthas
<Magni nods.>
Magni Bronzebeard says: He's not the boy of your memories anymore, Muradin. He's become something else entirely.
Yorg Stormheart says: Aye, I know. I watched him turn... I watched him give up all that was right and I didn't lift a hand... I didn't even consider it until it was too late.
Brann Bronzebeard says: That's in the past, Muradin. Regrets won't change anything.
Yorg Stormheart says: No... no they won't But I can make this right... I have te. I'm goin' after the boy. I'll make'm answer for everything he's done.
Magni Bronzebeard says: Are you sure Muradin? I just got you back after years of thinking you were dead. I do not want to lose you again.
Yorg Stormheart says: I'm sure, Magni. I'll see this through, don't ya worry.
Magni Bronzebeard says: So be it then. I have to return to my people, brothers. Come back to me in one piece.
Brann Bronzebeard says: Aye, be safe Muradin. I'd join you, but I'm on top of the most amazing discovery the world has yet seen. I can't abandon it now.
Yorg Stormheart says: Go Brann. Bring me back an epic tale when we meet again. Farewell for now, brothers.
Magni Bronzebeard says: ...farwell brother.
<All three of the brothers depart>Well... that took awhile to type lol. And what irony... Brann has NO idea that the great King Stormheart is his brother... Loved it when I saw it :D

What to do
Description
Combining the keystone will require Norgannon's Binding - a device located in the Engine of the Makers, the large pit beside us. Brann should be down there with the other half of the keystone now. I have instructed him on the use of the device. He awaits your presence. I will do what I can to keep the iron dwarves occupied, but I do not have confidence that I will hold them for long. King Stormheart is returning to the defense of Frosthold with some of his men shortly. Please hurry, {race}.

That does it! We finally have the keystone... It's beautiful! I've been around the world more than once, but this thing's got me all jittery with excitement again. I suppose now's not the time to stop and admire though, we need to get the heck out of here.
