“A vast series of caves, called the Darkrime Delves by the local Norn, leads into the depths of the northern mountains in Bjora Marches. Home to snow jotun, the caves provide natural defenses for the ferocious (yet not terribly clever) beasts. We came upon two hunters, Kolgrim and Einarr, in the middle of an argument over which of them had the right to enter the Delves and kill the new jotun leader. The matter was a point of both honor and glory, as the defeat of such a powerful beast would certainly immortalize the victor. There seemed no end in sight to their bitter discussion, so on a lark, they allowed us to enter the caves first. The hunt was long and arduous, but in the end, the incredulous Norn were amazed by our success. Our impressive victory greatly increased our reputation.

[edit] Notes
- Picking up the Dungeon Key on the first level will disable the Ice Dart traps.
- It is currently not known how to lower the northern or southern bridge on the first level, it appears to be random. (Operate the lever past the ice trap and the bridge section will move into place. Cross the bridge, moving upward and into the area beyond)
- Pull the small groups at the end boss. You can work your way around Havok Soulwail pulling the small groups until only he and 2 Jotun are left
- Upon killing the end boss a Havok's Chest will spawn.
- 1500 Norn reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon for the first time in normal mode, and 750 points are awarded for subsequent completions. 2250 Norn reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon in hard mode for the first time, and 1,125 points are awarded for subsequent completions.
- The Stone Summit listed in the dungeon are no threat as they are being constantly wiped out by the Jotun every time they are encountered.
- The location of the area map in level 3 may not be correct. It may be just inside and to the left of the entry at the end of the dead end trail shown.
