Eternal Ice is a small side quest where you collect six Icy Shards in order to (re)create Hrormir's Icestaff at the Coldforge in Windcaller's Retreat. The quest can be started during The Excavation of Windcaller Pass.

Requirements 

During the excavation of Windcaller Pass, six shards can be found. After picking up the first one, this quest will start.

Objectives 

  • Show the Icy Shard to Auryen.
  • Find all 6 Icy Shards.
  • Return to Auryen.
  • Find the Coldforge.

Walkthrough

Windcaller Pass

After finding the first shard, go to Auryen. He will tell you that this is a piece of crystallized ice known as Eternium, and it was used to create the staff of a wizard named Hrormir. The staff was broken into six pieces. Find the six shards in Windcaller Pass and return to Auryen.

Windcaller's Retreat

Auryen will tell you to use the Coldforge in Windcaller's Retreat to recreate the staff. Travel to Windcaller's Retreat. The Coldforge is the stone structure overlooking the excavation team's second camp. Activate the forge and take Hrormir's Icestaff.
