Dialogue (Lieutenant Thackeray)
 * Merry Wintersday, . Traditionally, the troops get homesick this time of year, and morale drops. Many have not had a true Wintersday celebration since the Charr broke through the Great Northern Wall. I know I missed the holidays when I was gone. So, I'm happy that things will be different this year! The troops banded together and created their own celebration.


 * ''However, with so much of the Vanguard recalled for Wintersday, our patrols are sparse. We could use some help securing the area. My scouts have reported three Norn nearby. Perhaps they might be willing to help defend the Eye from Charr incursions. In return, you can offer them Wintersday gifts from the troops. I'm sure they will be generous, if you just ask. What do you say?


 * Accept: "You have earned this break. Leave it to me."
 * Reject: "Sorry, I heard there's a better party down Lion's Arch."

Intermediate Dialogue


 * Carlisle Gravenport: "My mother taught me how to make Wintersday ornaments when I was a child...before the Searing. We handed them out to neighbors every year. I made these Crystal Snowflakes for our celebration. Why don't you take some to our northern allies? They're our neighbors now."
 * Orwin Radcliff: "Wintersday means eggnog...spiked, of course. We don't have traditional ingredients here so I had to improvise. It doesn't taste quite like the nog I remember, but it'll knock you off your feet. Why don't you see if the Norn can handle my Vanguard Eggnogg? Now if you'll excuse me, there's a filled mug with my name on it...literaly."
 * Allyn Brand: "I have fond memories of roasting chestnuts with my family while blizzards raged outside. Well, we have constant blizzards here, so I asked a merchant about getting a supply of chestnuts. The cook suggested some northern seasonings that really bring out the flavor. I think the hearty taste of these slow Roasted Chestnuts will fill up even a Norn stomach. Why don't you take some with you?"
 * Helga the Cub: "I'm sorry, little human, but I'm too busy on a serious Norn quest to help you. Father tells me I am old enough to earn my own keep, but I'm no good at hunting and I haven't found a craft that inspires me yet."
 * Option 1: "Give Handful of Roasted Chestnuts" (If you have Roasted Chestnuts)
 * Helga the Cub: "Father told me I can only eat what I catch. Needless to say, I am pretty hungry..." (Options 2 and 3 remain)
 * Option 2: "Give Vanguard Eggnog" (If you have Vanguard Eggnog)
 * Helga the Cub: "Half my size or not, I'm smart enough to not accept drinks from strangers in the wilds. Plus, don't tell father, but I don't really like alcohol all that much." (Options 1 and 3 remain)
 * Option 3: "Give Crystal Snowflake Ornament" (If you have Crystal Snowflake Ornament)
 * Helga the Cub: "Such exquisite craftmanship in such a tiny object. Any you decorate an entire tree with these? Hmmm. Perhaps I will join you...right after I look at your Wintersday Tree."

Reward Dialogue
 * You convinced all three? That's fantastic. Here's a little something the unit put together to thank you.

Followup
 * Charr-broiled Plans

Walkthrough
The three gifts are received from the Ebon Vanguard troops Allyn Brand, Orwin Radcliff, and Carlisle Gavenport. After receiving the three gifts, deliver them in Ice Cliff Chasms to Galbraum (in Gwen's Garden), Brartak (just south of the Eye) and Helga (east of the Eye). There is usually little or no fighting involved and running skills will help speed things up.
