This quest is part of The Sons of Hodir quest chain.

Objectives

Brijana, just east of Brunnhildar Village, wants you to fly to Dun Niffelem, then free 3 Captured Proto-Drakes and rescue 9 Brunnhildar Prisoners.

• Recued Brunnhildar Prisoners: (9)
• Freed Proto-Drakes: (3)

Description

To be slain honorably on the field of battle brings us all glory. To be frozen in a block of ice and endlessly taunted does not....

You are to fly to the frost giant city of Dun Niffelem, just east of the Valley of Ancient Winters, and liberate a captive proto-drake. With her, you will be able to free our sisters from their frozen bonds and carry three of them safely home.

Beware the giants' clubs, sister, lest you find yourself numbered among the captives.

Progress

Was your mission successful, sister?

Completion

Your efforts appear to have been successful, sister.

You have brought glory to the Brunnhildar!

High Definition Video on YouTube

Fly up into Dun Niffelem and mount a drake ^[65, 61] in the air.

Keep moving as the frost giants can throw and hit unwary riders from a fairly large distance.

Target a Brunnhildar Prisoner, and hit the Ice Shard button once you're in range. Don't move until the prisoner is yanked up to your drake.

The drake can carry 3 prisoners (one in its mouth, one in each claw), so pick them up before leaving Dun Niffelem. As soon as the drake is outside of Dun Niffelem, it'll fly back to the village on its own ("The proto-drake smells freedom and flies homeward!"). Don't dismount or you will not get credit.

Try to avoid dying. If you do, when you return to your corpse the giants (contrary to the usual practice) aren't visible until you resurrect, meaning that you will likely rez just in front of a level 80 Elite.
