Welcome to Wowhead, where the denizens of WoW try so very hard to appear intelligent or clever by attempting to associate everything in the game with something that existed before. Believe it or not, people, life actually isn't one big long pop-culture reference like an episode of Family Guy, and there is such a thing as "coincidence". <3

Description

You've succeeded in the first rounds of the Hyldsmeet. To advance further, you're going to need a warbear of your own. Unfortunately, the Hyldnir don't give them out to just anyone. You'll have to emerge victorious from true battle, not just gladiatorial combat. The Hyldnir of Brunnhildar are currently involved in a feud against the Sons of Hodir, Thorim's former allies. Speak to Brijana just outside the village and see how you can help them and prove yourself in the process.

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.

  • Taking on All ChallengersThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    Let's get you started. The good news is that by defeating Agnetta, you've earned yourself a spot in the next round of matches. The bad news is that all your opponents will also have defeated someone in the first round. Do not expect pushovers.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Bearly Hanging OnThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    The test awaits, woman! Do you have the heart of a warrior queen? Or that of a sniveling seamstress? One taste of war and you'll know the answer. You might lie to your mother, your sisters, and even yourself, but the battlefield always exposes one's true nature.
