Description

You have to help us! We were in the middle of an expedition into the mountains to set up a transmission tower when we were attacked. They looked like vrykul, except their skin was blue and layered with frost... and they were all female! They took all the men in the expedition and let us women go. Please, {name}! We think they're being held in Sifreldar, the village overlooking K3.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Changing the Wind's CourseThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    At last, we have all that we need to right the wrongs of the North Wind and its followers. You have attuned the Lorehammer to Stormhoof's time and his persona. Take the hammer again, head to the Temple of Life in the plains to the northwest. Use the hammer to assume the role of Stormhoof.

After this quest

    All of our boys are back... thanks to you, <name>! Well... all but one. My brother Zeev is still up there according to the others. Apparently they have some sort of mine where they make their prisoners work. Go in there and see if you can find out anything.
