Dialogue[edit]
Initial dialogue[edit]
Sif Shadowhunter
- "Are you ready to tackle a worthy quest, <character name>? In the highest icy reaches live the glacial griffons. They are deadly and prey mostly on wolves, bears, and other large game. I have spread wolf carcasses around the village to attract one of these beasts. Your task is simple: single-handedly slay a glacial griffon. Only then will your deeds be worthy of song; only then will your fame rise to the level of a true Norn."
Reward dialogue[edit]
Sif Shadowhunter
- "What a welcome sight! I didn't expect you to return, <character name>. At least, not in one piece. Slaying the glacial griffon is a deed worthy of many songs, starting with this one.
- Hail! Hail! Witness the skill!
- Body parts stewn, fresh from the kill
- <character name>, you are second to none
- May your legend ring true from dusk 'til sun
- Catchy, eh? Well... it's a work in progress."
Notes[edit]
- During the quest, there are six exploitable White Wolf corpses.
- You get credit for completing this quest if you kill the Griffon, even if you die.
Trivia[edit]
