Lore Context
Yorg describes Drom as a hermit who is “loyal to the old ways,” keeping watch over titan sites and regularly speaking with the titan watcher Creteus. While most Frostborn have drifted away from their titan-forged origins, Drom maintains that connection. This makes him uniquely useful for tracking down Norgannon’s Core.
Drom’s beaten state when you find him shows that the iron dwarves have been aggressively expanding their reach, even targeting Frostborn hermits in remote caves. The stolen signet ring becomes important in the next quest.

Vikstone's War Journal“I don’t know where this core is hiding, but ye knew that. I said I’d help though, and that I shall,” Yorg said. “There’s a hermit by the name of Drom Frostgrip who lives in a cave north of here… down in tha valley.”
Then, and he did not make much of it: “We’ve strayed away from the titans a bit ourselves being that there are so few about. But Drom’s loyal to the old ways. He keeps an eye on their most precious places and speaks te the keeper Creteus often. Yer sure to find him in the back of his cave… tell’m I sent ye and he’ll help ye.”
They have strayed away. He said it in passing, the way a man mentions a leak he has stopped intending to fix.
Up the mountain from them, the frost dwarves have quietly let it go, on the grounds that there is hardly anybody left to keep faith with.
Frostgrip’s Hollow is at the foot of the peak where I killed Sirana. I went in past the mouth and back through it, and Drom was at the far end with texts stacked around him higher than he sits.
He coughed up blood before speaking.
“Norgannon’s Core, eh? I’ve spent a fair number of days trying to find anything I could about it myself, but it seems to be one of the relics that’s still guarded. With reason I suppose.”
He looked at me for a while before the rest of it.
“If King Stormheart sent you, he surely must see something noble in ye… and I’m not one to refuse my king.”
The iron dwarves who had worked him over on the way in had taken something of his, and getting it back meant going to see The Lonesome Watcher.
