Check out the Rewards section to determine if this difficult quest is even worth your time!

Get positive faction with Anu Village. As Gategaurdian has pointed out, "positive" faction means higher than +151 for the npc to turn blue-faced to you:
*slay ice giant refugees;
*complete the various Hunt/Gather quests handed out by Giant Slayer Derkev in ANU and Corison in ZK;
*if you are a werebeast, go into your first form (lvl 30) as this affects faction in Anu;
* xcobainx also points out that enchanter glams can give +1000 faction with Anu.

To log the quest, talk to Ulfar Styrkarson, he is in Anu Village, inside the building where the Farseer is upstairs, with 2 guards in front of building. He is on the bottom floor.

Ulfar sends you to the lake right where the Ice Tomb is, North of Anu, it's a two minute run north of the village. You'll find a lake with a broken bridge overhead. Get a popup on the south edge of the lake.

Run back to Ulfar. He gives you a salve and tells you to see Vargilder Souralld Anu Village (SW). Run SW from Anu Village, to the small tent there across the frozen lake. Talk to Souralld. He sends you to Varchief Steinoff in Anu Village (N). Varchief Steinoff sometime roams around the village. Sometimes he is in the middle of the three houses in a row, sometimes across from Ulfar.

He sends you to talk to Head Engineer Silos at the Gnomish observatory. You can see the observatory on the Horizon just to the NE of the Anu Village. Talk to him, then you are sent to Demolitionist Osbit in Snafizer's House (S) near the observatory.

Coach up to Teth (if good, Sariak if evil). GET 5k from BANK before you run out there. Go W/SW of the hive by Tethlin, and find Demolitionist Osbit near the observatory. Talk to Demolitionist Osbit at the base of that observatory to get 2 sticks of dynamite (Take money, 5k or so).

Go back to Ulfar. He asks to blow up two Excavation sites:

Overlord Tregg
Run W to Snowblind Plains (SE). You're looking for a big hill with an encampment of Frosteyes. You can con 'orc excavation site'.

Kill Overlord Tregg, he will spawn when you get close to the Orc Excavation Site, but before you do......
Make sure the person spawning the warlord is in the KILL GROUP You must be in the kill group in order to advance your quest, so set up a strong KS group and put the quester in it. Get close, the Warlord spawns. Kill him, he has large HP and melee's hard. Con and talk to the excavation site after and blow it up. Can 'loot' the site to respawn, its about 5-10 minutes.

If you are owned by Tregg, the last person killed is camped by him so is unable to rez. If Tregg despawns for you assemble, no worries, he'll come back again.

Prophet Olvandr Korsk
This is the big end boss! Run W from Tregg to Snowblind Plains (W) to find a tower with 2 ice giant vindicators and look for a con: 'Ice Giant Excavation Site'.

Olvandr will spawn when the questor approached the Excavation site, so before hand.....
Again, make sure the person spawning Olvander is in the KILL GROUP you must be in the kill group in order to advance your quest, so set up a strong KS group and put the quester in it. Get close, kill the two ice giant vindicators, and spawn Olvander, kill him.
Notes on killing Olva: he has huge HPs, crits for over 3k, and AOE crits for 1500, and he crits often. Have a good tank, good AR, you'll need a main healer and a healer to heal those affected by the AoEs if they can't stand back far enough. Also Necs to patch tank. Olva CAN be rooted, so if things look bad root him, step back, drink/eat and have at him again. It will take about 15 minutes to kill him.

Once you've killed Olva, con the site and talk to it, blow it up, loot it so it respawns for next person. Go back to Varchief Ulfar in Anu, and get reward (such as it is).

15 million exp

Tank: Warspear of the howler (NTL)
Equip: Secondary Dur: 75 Dmg: 530
ATT: 1HP HP 11100/11100
"This anu artifact is possessed by an ancient wolf spirit, The Howler."
It's a gimp spear that you attack with, it will occasionally proc a Lvl 40 pet white wolf, The Howler. It's a guardian pet that cannot be sent in to attack, but will attack when you do. The Howler attacks once (320 dmg) and dies. Basically it's a proc'ing spear with a graphic, but with a tanks low dex it doesn't proc very often. No recharging necessary as it's a proc'ing weapon.

Healer: 30 charge stone, casts Mammoth Guardian, level 43 familiar. In my opinion druids and clerics are the ONLY class that should do this quest as they benefit from the Mammoth. He's handy for farming etc. You can not send it to attack but it will attack when master is hit. It melees once or twice, and taunts. Shammy's dont need as it's not as good as pet they already have. Can be recharged by bringing 5 preserved mammoth tusks (stack drop from ancient mammoth) to the quest NPC.

Melee: Frozen Throwing Knife (NTL)
500 charges, casts 5 knives, stack 99
Dmg 385 Range 35 (can do dble dmg like Alc potions)
Damage is weaker than bow shot, however they do look pretty cool when thrown however, so maybe that's good for something. Can be recharged with 5 snow griffon beaks returned to quest NPC.

Casters: Ice Totem, 30 charges, casts 'Ice Shell' on you. Negates 50% of damage until a total of 1k damages is dealt to you. Can be recharged.
