Ah yes, once upon a time the only shoulder enchants came from libram world drops. Then Blizzard wanted us to become exalted with the Zandalar Tribe. Then they wanted us to side with the Aldors or Scryers! Does the madness ever end? Well, Northrend has a new twist on shoulder enchants: stolen men. Before I begin, however, I should preface this by saying that if you are a scribe and your inscription is near 400 Inscription you’re already set. Inscription offers dps, healing, tanking, and casting shoulder enchants that are leaps and bounds above the competition. While you can still use this guide as a way to familiarize yourself with Sons of Hodir and the other things they offer, the shoulder enchant focus isn’t really required. If you’re up in the air, Sons of Hodir offer Ice Mammoths, relatively cheap multi-passenger Grand Ice Mammoths, various blue-quality gear, a jewelcrafting pattern, and a tailoring pattern for a twenty-two slot bag.
Now, to get started you need to be at least level seventy-seven. You should have Cold Weather Flying to make this easier, but with loaner gryphons this isn’t strictly necessary. The quest you’re looking for is They Took Our Men! from K3 in Storm Peaks. This is a neutral goblin-run town that is located in the southern area of Storm Peaks. The quest is simple enough — rescue five goblins. After that, you’ll be sent into the mines, transformed into a frost viking woman, and sent along a very long epic quest. While the quest is fairly interesting, it isn’t necessary to complete the entire line of quests in order to unlock Sons of Hodir. About 3/4ths of the way in it’ll be unlocked, and you can stop there if you would like. If you finish the entire quest-line you’ll be given your choice from a few blues and offered two quests for Ulduar: Halls of Lightning. Also, after you’ve finished up at Brunnhildar Village with the Frost Viking women you’ll notice one of the huts has a couple of quests, and a daily quest opens up. While the daily often provides only cash, salted yeti milk, or snowballs it does have a chance to give you the Reins of the White Polar Bear.

You know, for some reason I assumed it was set up by default. Maybe it was on the other theme, hmm. Let me look in to that. I really need to switch it over to a more pleasant theme overall, though.
