the building that actually HAS the tunnel entrance (and is marked on the map as the northernmost of the three pictured buildings in thor modan) has nothing to do with this quest. you want a building across the path from the southern & eastern ones...

Description

The first place we'll search for entrances to the Thor Modan tunnel system will be the outlying buildings. As I left the site with my men, it looked like the iron dwarf defenders were taking refuge inside the buildings. Be careful as you explore them. Any tunnel entrances are likely to be toward the back of the buildings. I'm not sure what Stoutmantle thinks we're going to find down there, but I doubt the iron dwarves will make the search easy.

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.

  • Brothers in BattleGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    I hope Gryan knows I withdrew my men from Thor Modan when the battle began. There's no way we can excavate anything until that place settles down. You seem like a brave sort, though, and you have Stoutmantle's trust.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Fate of OrlondGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    When we began excavating the city, I sent Surveyor Orlond to check the stability of the tunnels in Thor Modan. I didn't see him escape when we withdrew at the beginning of the battle, and I worry he may still be trapped inside the city.
