I'm on a quest to make the perfect stout. I know I can do it -- brewing's in my blood. I just need to find the right recipe... The Frostmane trolls grow a plant, shimmerweed, up on Shimmer Ridge to the northwest. They use it in their strange, tribal rituals. We haven't found much use for it, but it has a unique taste... and I want to experiment with it in my brews! Obtaining the shimmerweed will be dangerous, but I'll pay well for any you can "borrow" from the baskets in the troll village.
