Dialogue
 * "There's no time to waste. I've been informed of the location of an enourmous Wintersday stocking stuffed to the seams with a plethora of of presents. These goodies are to be delivered on Wintersday to residents all over Istan. We cannot allow this travesty to happen! You must seek this stinking goodie sock and capture it for our cause. It will be guarded by serveants of Dwayna, but you will not be alone in your mission. A squadron of Grentches will await you in Fahranur. Join them and procure the presents in the name of Grenth."

Walkthrough
Depart Jokanur Diggings (see below for Blacktide Den option), meeting with the Grentch Squad. Proceed South along the eastern path, taking the final bridge towards Fahranur. There are five mobs of Level 12 Brrrls, some of the mobs also having a Yeti. One of the mobs, the one closest to the bridge, has the boss Ursula the White. Kill all five mobs to complete the quest, then map back to Kamadan.

Alternate: If you enter the city from Blacktide Den you won't have to meet with the Grentch Squad, which is near the Jokanur Diggings entrance. You will just have to kill the mobs, saving time. The map to the right indicates this shorter path. This did work for Wintersday 2007 and 2008.
