What to do
Description
So be it. If the giants will not come to our aid, perhaps we can make use of these worms. There are sure to be some spawn with their brood mother in the cavern below. Take this box and capture 3 of their spawn and bring them to me. Where diplomacy fails, enslaving is a perfectly viable alternative.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Apply This Twice A Day
This elixir should protect against their spit. Offer it to Ko'char for me, will you? Tell him there's plenty more where that came from if he'll return the favor.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Really Big Worm
The jormungar have a spawnmother in the caverns below. We call her Rattlebore - a name that was gifted to her by an adventurer from the Plaguelands. I saw her only briefly as I was fighting off their initial onslaught - she is large enough to devour one of my young whole.
