Damn. I've been waiting a month for this mob to spawn, I finally do the quest this morning and then see you did it already.

Anyways, here's the quest text since it's not on Allakhazam:

[Fri Nov 28 11:41:08 2014] You say, 'Hail, Vorken Iceshard'
[Fri Nov 28 11:41:09 2014] Vorken Iceshard says, 'I am Vorken Iceshard, one of the lords of Iceshard manor. In this day and age you can never tell where one's allegiances are. Leave my servants in peace or you may leave in pieces.'
[Fri Nov 28 11:41:24 2014] Vorken Iceshard regards you as an ally -- it appears to be quite formidable.
[Fri Nov 28 11:43:17 2014] You say, 'what allegiances'
[Fri Nov 28 11:43:17 2014] Vorken Iceshard says, 'Loyalties, of course, little one. Each day I see more mercenaries come to Kael, seeking their fortunes. King Tormax will use your kind to wage war on the dragons and upon the Coldain. But I question the motives of your kind.'
[Fri Nov 28 11:43:27 2014] You say, 'what motives'
[Fri Nov 28 11:43:27 2014] Vorken Iceshard says, 'My motives are simple. I will acquire as much power and prestige as possible before I die. Such is life for me, a constant search for power and wealth. But my great power and wealth have not brought me happiness. Enough of my motives, what drives you? A constant search for more power, a search for security and happiness? Or do you truly believe in the rhetoric of King Tormax which advocates that we eradicate the dragons?'
[Fri Nov 28 11:43:55 2014] You say, 'a constant search for more power'
[Fri Nov 28 11:43:55 2014] Vorken Iceshard says, 'I understand. You seek wealth and power. Believe me, young one, it will not bring you happiness. Each item you acquire will only quell your lust for more power for a short time. There is always something slightly better to gain. Would yet another useless possession really make you feel better? Let me tell you a little story.'
[Fri Nov 28 11:44:14 2014] You say, 'what story'
[Fri Nov 28 11:44:14 2014] Vorken Iceshard says, 'Before I ascended to power here in Kael Drakkel, I lived as a nomad in the eastern wastes. My brother Klaggan and I did as we pleased, not abiding by the laws of the Kromrif leaders at the time. With each 'crime' we committed we drew the attention of Beleveios Thunderstone, the so called leader of the wandering giants at that time. His anger with us grew so much that he eventually came looking for us.'
[Fri Nov 28 11:44:33 2014] You say, 'who is beleveios thunderstone'
[Fri Nov 28 11:44:33 2014] Vorken Iceshard says, 'Beleveios came seeking my brother and me to slay us and end the whining of the weaker giants. The day is still crisp in my mind. Four of his greatest champions fell upon my brother and me in our encampment, attempting to slay us in our sleep. We Iceshards are not so easy to slay, however. Klaggan awoke as they attempted to slit our throats and snapped the neck of one of our assailants. I leaped to my feet as well, and with my trusty axe I slashed at the knaves who had come to [murder] us.'
[Fri Nov 28 11:45:05 2014] You say, 'murder'
[Fri Nov 28 11:45:05 2014] Vorken Iceshard says, 'Yes, they tried to stop our actions without so much as a trial by honorable combat. My brother and I slaughtered Beleveios' most powerful guards as he watched. When the last one fell, I was covered in the blood of my foes, as was Klaggan. Beleveios stood there dumbfounded, before he dropped to his knees begging for our mercy and forgiveness. He prattled on about his [family], and wanting to protect his people. I would hear no more of this. His head lay on the ground not long after that.'
[Fri Nov 28 11:46:00 2014] You say, 'what family'
[Fri Nov 28 11:46:00 2014] Vorken Iceshard says, 'I took little heed of Beleveios' ranting about his family at the time. I have not thought of it much until recently either. I have heard rumors that his son has been attempting to gain support from the other Kromrif. The whispers on the wind speak of my assassination by this fool who wants vengeance for a father who would murder men in their sleep. If you wish powerful possessions, then seek out the son of Beleveios Thunderstone and slay him. Bring me his head as proof and I will reward you with what you seek so avidly.'
[Fri Nov 28 11:46:26 2014] Vorken Iceshard says, 'Congratulations, mercenary. You have earned your precious reward. Tell me, did Ekelng whine like his father for forgiveness, or did he die like a true Kromrif warrior?'
[Fri Nov 28 11:46:26 2014] Your faction standing with Kromrif could not possibly get any better.
[Fri Nov 28 11:46:26 2014] Your faction standing with Kromzek could not possibly get any better.
[Fri Nov 28 11:46:26 2014] Your faction standing with Coldain got worse.
[Fri Nov 28 11:46:26 2014] Your faction standing with ClawsofVeeshan got worse.
[Fri Nov 28 11:46:26 2014] You gain experience!!

Feedback: I tried turning this in at Warmly since there were several posts saying you only needed Amiably. It didn't work. Nilbog said you needed Ally, so I did the quest again but like I said it took a month for the NPC to respawn. I couldn't just do the quest over again because Ekelng wasn't up in EW. Nilbog said his respawn time should be 20 minutes, but I think it's worth looking into his spawning. Both times I killed him he was standing in a static location, but other times nothing has been in that area for hours. I went back to kill Ekelng after the last beta patch.

Amiable faction:

August 25 2001

Quote:

You must have Amiable or better faction to do this quest, otherwise he will eat the item. This quest also gives the three giant factions and lowers CoV.

This quest actually raises Kromzek and Kromrif and lowers Coldain and Dain faction. Must be amiable with Kromrif to get the reward.
