Description

It sounds like this Loken is the mastermind behind the sudden preparations for war on the part of the iron dwarves. Only the highest ranking irons are likely to have access to him, so we'll have to make you into an overseer to find out what's going on in there. I have a plan, for that, but we'll need some supplies. Find one of the iron rune overseers at Dun Argol, to the southeast, kill him, and bring back his uniform.

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.

  • In the Name of LokenGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    The iron dwarves stand as one of the fiercest and most coordinated foes in Northrend. Wherever we have traveled, they have battled us with the name of Loken on their lips. We must learn who this Loken is and what he seeks. The locals may be of help.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cultivating an ImageGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    Now we have to finish the job of making you as repulsive as those iron dwarves. The best way to do that is to base your disguise on the ugly mugs of real iron dwarves. When Tormak's hunting party discovered that wayward prospector, they took the camera he carried.
