Quest givers

The following NPCs offer this quest to valiants of the Argent Tournament who have yet to complete The Valiant's Charge:

•   Marshal Jacob Alerius <Grand Champion of Stormwind>
•   Ambrose Boltspark <Grand Champion of Gnomeregan>
•   Colosos <Grand Champion of the Exodar>
•   Jaelyne Evensong <Grand Champion of Darnassus>
•   Lana Stouthammer <Grand Champion of Ironforge>

Objectives

<Grand Champion> at the Argent Tournament Grounds wants you to bring <him/her> Winter's Edge.

•  [Winter's Edge]

Description

That's the last time I ever spar with a death knight.

In southern Crystalsong Forest, overlooking the Crystal Vice's exit, you will find  Lord Everblaze. Kill him and take the everburning ember from his corpse.

Bring it to the center of Winter Breath's Lake in northern Howling Fjord, and use it to free the maiden encased in ice. She is the guardian of an ancient sword and will award it to whoever frees her.

Prove your worth and earn the weapon that she has guarded for so long, <name>.

Rewards

You will receive: 2x  [Valiant's Seal]

Progress

Did you win the blade I seek?

Completion

This blade is as fine as the stories say. It would seem there's little reason to complete the repairs on my customary blade. Winter's Edge is far superior and I will continue to carry it. You have my thanks, <name>.

Notes

The Crystal Vice is at the northern edge of Dragonblight bordering Crystalsong Forest. Lord Everblaze is situated just to the east of the path coming out of Dragonblight high up on the ridge at ^{[54.8, 75.0]}

. He drops the  [Everburning Ember]. Take the Ember to northern Howling Fjord. Players with slower flying mounts may want to take connecting flight paths to Camp Winterhoof or Fort Wildervar. Winter's Breath Lake is the lake south of Gjalerbron and Camp Winterhoof. On a floating patch of ice at the center of the lake (^{[42.2, 19.7]}

) is the Maiden of Winter's Breath Lake, a frost nymph encased in a block of ice. Use the Ember to free her from the Curse of Ice and retrieve  [Winter's Edge].

Maiden of Winter's Breath Lake says: Thank you, mortal, for freeing me from this curse. I beg you, take this blade.

Maiden of Winter's Breath Lake says: It has brought me naught but ill. Mayhap you can find someone who will contain its power.
