*GRATUITOUS SPOILER SPACE*

*END OF SPOILER SPACE*

Since the spoiler for the silvery axe is out, I might
as well finish it up for everyone.

Elite HONOR Guards drop Silvery Axes (1H and 2H)

High Priest Zaharn drops Zaharn's Coronet (what a
surprise!), which is a priest class helm that gives
Strength bonuses. Not all that good, but I believe
it is needed for a monk headband quest.

Goblin Patriarch drops the frost totem which is
needed for the Crafted armor (boots) quest.

King *something* drops the Symbol of Loyalty to Vox.
It's a bracer, AC 7 (same as plate), very light, some
bonuses to Save vs Cold, and wearable by ALL races and
class. However, if you do get one, give it to the monk
or all the other non plate-wearing classes first, it
makes the most sense.

You will need a level 30 or higher group to clear the
room, once you clear it, you can hold the room with
just a high 20s group IMO. I'm convinced that if you fight your way and
clear everything before the King
room, you can lure them out and nod them (so you are
out of range from the Ice Giants) and take them more
easily. However, the one time I tried that, something
went horribly wrong and it became a pull of 20 goblins
or so. It wasn't pretty. What normally happens is that
you invis pass the weaker gobs and pull the King room
straight. I don't like this method since one of my
party members always dies but that seems to be the
common strategy in there.
