The
Sons of Hodir are a faction released in Wrath of the Lich
King. They’re a race of Ice Giants led by King
Jokkum. The Sons of Hodir offer the best shoulder enchants in
the game to date, excluding the Inscription only enchants.
The purpose of this guide is to show you what you must accomplish to
earn your Sons of Hodir shoulder enchants. The first level of
the enchants are earned at Honored, the second is at Exalted.
I will start off by showing the quest chain that leads to Neutral with
Sons of Hodir, which will allow you to enter Dun Niffelem.
The quest chain starts in K3, located in southern Storm
Peaks. This quest chain might seem long, but for the most
part they’re just short traveling or “listen to my
story” quests. The purpose of listing this chain is
so you can see where you are in the chain so you can know what to
expect.

Neutral with Sons of Hodir. Being Neutral allows you to enter
Dun Niffelem and begin your daily quests. The screenshots
next to the quest explainations are the quest givers.

Quests
style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Hodir’s
Tribute-
Is worth 250 reputation. The quest is to turn in 10 Relics of
Ulduar to the Sons of Hodir quartermaster.
style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Everfrost-
Is worth 350 reputation. The quest is starts from an item
called Everfrost Chip. You can find Everfrost Chips scattered
around the area surrounding Dun Niffelem.
Obviously you could go to the Auction House and purchase a ton of
Relics of
Ulduar and buy your way to exalted. It’s also
obvious that’s not the smart way to do it. So, use
your thinker and do your dailies. It’ll take you 27
days of doing each daily to reach exalted. Keep in mind
that’s not including all the Relics of Ulduar and Everfrost
Chips that you’ll be turning in.
