Walkthrough

Pick Up the Quest

• Fjorlin Frostbrow is located just south of Frosthold proper, on the cliff edge overlooking the valley. He stands near a tame Stormcrest Eagle.
• When you accept An Experienced Guide from Yorg Stormheart, Fjorlin whispers to you asking for help. Grab his quest before flying north.

Enter Frostgrip’s Hollow

• The cave entrance is at [27, 67], in the valley of Bor’s Breath. It sits at the base of the peak where you previously fought Sirana Iceshriek during the Brann chain.
• Take the left fork at the first junction. The right-hand paths are one-way tunnels that lead deeper to Drom’s location but cannot be used to exit. Going left ensures you can clear invaders and still walk out the way you came.

Kill the Invaders

• The Stormforged Invaders inside include Stormforged Loreseekers and Stormforged Pillagers. Both count toward your objective.
• Groups are tightly packed in spots. Pull carefully to avoid stacking multiple mobs, especially melee classes without strong AoE.
• There are more than enough invaders along the left-hand path to hit 10 kills before reaching the back of the cave.

Efficiency Tips

• Always pair with An Experienced Guide. Both quests send you into Frostgrip’s Hollow. Kill invaders on the way to Drom Frostgrip at the back of the cave, and you’ll finish both in a single trip.
• Clear the invaders before speaking to Drom. Once you turn in An Experienced Guide and pick up the follow-up, you’ll want a clear path back out.

Lore Context

The Stormforged are iron dwarves created by Loken using the corrupted Forge of Wills in Ulduar. Their name may indicate they are a newer generation of iron dwarves, distinct from older populations like those at Thor Modan in Grizzly Hills.

Fjorlin’s dialogue hints at the growing threat these iron dwarves pose to the Frostborn. The Frostborn are frost dwarves (earthen descendants, like Ironforge dwarves) who have so far avoided direct conflict with the Stormforged, but the iron dwarf presence is expanding across the mountains.

This tension escalates in later quests, such as Fury of the Frostborn King, where a full-scale battle erupts.
