Quest Text
Grand Historian Elred Wintershade is attempting to put together an exhibit in Thurgadin about the history of the city of Froststone. He has asked for my assistance in gathering the pieces he needs to create his presentation.
Completion
I collected several pieces for Grand Historian Wintershade, which will hopefully help him start his exhibit. However, I also entered the caves known as Crystal Caverns, and met with the spirit of Glight Snowchipper. After defeating the ghost of a giant known as Slagd Frozentoe, the dwarven spirits can now rest in peace. In his gratitude, Glight gave me his favorite weapon, the Snowchipper.
