“Ah! Thanks for coming up here, lad. Judging by your wide eyes and shivering hands, I’d venture a guess that you’re somewhat new. Sounds like it would be good for you to meet our gracious hosts then! We’ve got some extra medical supplies… to be honest, we weren’t expecting to have such a comfortable setup. Go ahead and give this crate to Glorthal over there, and lend them a hand if you would too.
We don’t want them to think we’re ungrateful for how welcoming they’ve been.”

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:
Quest Giver: Lagnus <Explorers’ League> — Frosthold, Storm Peaks [29, 74]
Objective: Deliver a Medical Supply Crate to Glorthal Stiffbeard in Frosthold [29, 75].
Quick Facts
Walkthrough
Pick up the quest from Lagnus, who hands you a crate of medical supplies. Walk a few steps to Glorthal Stiffbeard (he’s practically next door at [29, 75]) and speak to him. Done.
This is a brief introduction to Frosthold and the Frostborn. The Explorers’ League members want to show their hosts some gratitude for the warm welcome. After turning in, Glorthal opens up the next quest in the chain, Missing Scouts, which sends you out into the field to deal with the iron dwarf threat.
Lore Context
Frosthold is accessible via flying mount under normal circumstances, though Alliance players reach it the first time through the quest When All Else Fails from K3, which involves a rocket ride up the cliff.
The Frostborn are frost dwarves who migrated from Uldaman to the Storm Peaks long ago. Their blue-tinted skin sets them apart from Ironforge dwarves. They rarely receive visitors, and Glorthal’s completion text reflects genuine curiosity about the outside world.
This chain eventually leads to combat with Sirana Iceshriek, a harpy matriarch threatening Frostborn scouts in the area.
Explore the Storm Peaks’ hidden easter eggs, lore mysteries, and connections across Warcraft history in Vikstone’s Storm Peaks Chronicles, along with the complete quest storyline.

My hands were shaking. He was not wrong about that part.
“Sounds like it would be good for you to meet our gracious hosts then! We’ve got some extra medical supplies… to be honest, we weren’t expecting to have such a comfortable setup. Go ahead and give this crate to Glorthal over there, and lend them a hand if you would too. We don’t want them to think we’re ungrateful for how welcoming they’ve been.”
I have not been sleeping, and a dwarf took one look and put it down to my first winter.
Glorthal Stiffbeard opened the crate on the spot and took out a poultice wrap.
“Medical supplies? Thank you!” He turned it over twice. “Not exactly sure what to do with them to be honest, but I’m sure they’ll be useful.”
The Frostborn have been shut in these peaks a very long while. Whatever the rest of Azeroth has worked out about bandaging since then has not reached them, and they are being polite about a crate of it.
“It’s good to meet you… there’s such a colorful variety among your peoples. We’re not used to having visitors up this way very often. It’s good to have some fresh company.”
He was holding a vial upside down while he said it, squinting through the bottom of it.
I told him it was good to be here. There are a great many places in Northrend where that would have been a lie.
The Frostborn had taken in the Explorers’ League without asking much in return, and the debt got called in quickly, because some of their own had gone out into the peaks and not come back as Missing Scouts.
