What to do
Speak with Duke Lankral at The Shadow Vault.
The quest giver's words
We need you focused, <name>. We're barely holding The Shadow Vault as it is. As you can see, we've greatly angered the Lich King.
<The baron chuckles.>
I need you to speak with Duke Lankral. He's in charge here now. You'll find him inside the vault building proper.
Were I you, I would not keep him waiting.
Completion
It's a pleasure to finally meet you, <name>. We owe you a great deal, but we're not done with you yet.
There is a vrykul city just over the mountains to the west, a place called Jotunheim.
The vrykul there are in a constant state of challenge to 'ascend'. The winners go to Ymirheim to serve as the Lich King's elite warrior caste, the Ymirjar, and the losers are reduced to scourged Vargul.
You are going to be my instrument to see to it that more Vargul than Ymirjar emerge.

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Icecrown), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
- Pick up
