This mission takes place in the ice wing of the Nest. You'll need to locate the remains of the four Norrath's Keepers agents, Kallendro is still alive and if you hail him he will give you a damage shield buff. After getting all four updates keep killing until you get this emote:
A deafening roar shakes the frost from the walls as Shargone the Ice Drake awakens from hibernation.
This signals that Shargone has spawned in the far west chamber. Shargone is not much different than any trash mob, kill him and loot a Orb of Midwinter. Gate out and give the orb Gordish to complete the mission.
Origins of the Curse
- Mission Giver: Keeper Dilar Nelune
- Requirement: Warmly, all of Tier 4 (including raids)
- Reward: 68 crystals

- Speak to Chieftain Relae Aderi
Head into the south area of the zone. You need to find four "a remnant of the curse", dervish mobs which hit for 1100ish but nothing special. Each drop a Fragments of Zebeker's Bone Chips. Hand them in to "Zebeker, a necromancer`s pet" at the entrance to the fire area then just go hail Relae Aderi to complete the mission and get your character flag for progression.
Rivals
- Mission Giver: Gordish Frozenheart
- Requirement: Kindly
- Reward: 41 crystals
Mission Steps:
- Touch the portal to the Nest
- Follow the trail of your rivals
- Find your rivals and what they seek
- Deliver 1 Ancient Tooth of Archanalia to Gordish Frozenheart
This mission takes place in the north wing of the zone. Head to the back chamber where you'll find a standoff between some Dark Reign and some normal zone mobs. Your target here is Fahsheer Delure. It is unclear if you can simply go after Fahsheer directly or if you need to fend off the entire room, but ultimately when you kill it you'll loot Ancient Tooth of Archanalia. Now you must make a choice. You can gate out and give the tooth to Gordish and get your crystals and faction, or you can give it to Silverclaw, a non-agro drake you pass heading north. Doing so causes the mission to fail, but spawns a chest with one of the following:
Reportedly the chest can also just have a gem, so probably best to give it to Gordish for the guaranteed reward.
Scrap Metal
- Mission Giver: Gordish Frozenheart
- Requirement: Apprehensive
- Reward: 54 crystals
Mission Steps:
- Touch the portal to the Nest
- Loot 10 Silvery Dragon Scale Fragments
- Loot 10 Golden Dragon Scale Fragments
- Loot 15 Metallic Dragon Shell Fragments
- Speak with Tatsujiro The Serene
This mission takes place in the northwest wing of the zone. The objecteive is simple, kill anything that moves until you loot 10 Silvery Dragon Scale Fragment, 10 Golden Dragon Scale Fragments, and 15 Metallic Dragon Shell Fragments. The drops are fairly common so expect around 60 kills. Good setting for a Lesson of the Devoted burn.
Spider's Eye
- Mission Giver: Gordish Frozenheart
- Requirement: Kindly
- Reward: 54 crystals
Mission Steps:
- Touch the portal to the Nest
- Loot 1 Large Spider Stone
- Loot 1 Small Spider Stone
- Deliver 1 Large Spider Stone to Gordish Frozenheart
- Deliver 1 Small Spider Stone to Gordish Frozenheart
This mission takes place in the southern wing of the zone. Very direct mission, kill everything that moves until you loot both Large Spider Stone and Small Spider Stone. Evidently there is a minimum number of kills before they can drop, but can drop off anything, so be thorough in your slaughter. Then gate out and turn them in to Gordish to complete the mission.
Web of Lies
- Mission Giver: Gordish Frozenheart
- Requirement: Amiable
- Reward: 40 crystals
Mission Steps:
- Touch the portal to the Nest
- Find the Dark Elf
- Speak to Keentooth and find out what is going on
- Kill 1 Shala Belen
Information on this mission is lacking. After zoning in head south and you'll find Shala Belen in discussion with the goblin Keentooth and a number of Flameguards. When you hail Keentooth everything attacks, however the speech Keentooth gives makes the impression that if you remove your primary and secondary the goblins may not attack, but this is untested. In any case, kill Shala Belen to complete the mission.
