In truth, many problems in Howling Fjord remained unresolved: the stone giants in Giant's Run, constantly awakened and controlled by Iron Dwarves, and the Iron Dwarves in the south who had been building statues of Loken.
But Rend knew that to uncover the secrets of these Iron Dwarves, he had to go to Grizzly Hills and Ulduar. The Iron Dwarves in Howling Fjord were merely the tip of the iceberg.

This was because neither the wolves tamed by the orcs of Draenor nor the wolves of the Eastern Kingdoms or Kalimdor could bear the weight of the Trifarix Legion's heavy infantry. Only Kodo Beasts could, but Kodo Beasts generally allowed only Tauren to
