The Core's Keeper
A verified Blizzard quest record from The Storm Peaks. Use the archive brief, rewards, and linked research to finish it without losing your place.
What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in The Storm Peaks, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
Prospector Soren's notes say that Norgannon's Core is in the keeping of a sentinel named Athan, one of Mimir's creations. Soren says the vault where Athan resides is called "Loken's Bargain" these days. Loken, eh? The earthen have mentioned him. The vault is said to be southwest of the ruined Explorers' League camp, with a round entrance on a mountainside overlooking the Valley of Ancient Winters. Find this Athan and get the core from him, but I wouldn't be surprised if you were in for a fight.
Plan the run before you travel
The Storm Peaks belongs to the Wrath of the Lich King archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
