Quest text

What the quest giver says.

‹name›, ‹class› and ‹race› stand for your character’s.

Our best bet for moving our forces quickly to Icecrown Glacier lies with the network of tunnels beneath the ancient iron dwarf city of Thor Modan. Brugar Stoneshear and his Explorers' League boys aren't going to be happy, but orders are orders. The news might go over better if you brought him a cask of that moonshine sold by that trapper, Hugh Glass, down at Redwood Trading Post, southeast of here along the tree line. Man's not right in the head, but you won't find better moonshine out here.
