==Dialogue==
When approaching the Stone Summit Gnashers at Lord Glacius the Eternal's spawn location:
: '''Stone Summit Gnasher''' (1)''':''' ''"Lord Glacius the Eternal! From the darkest depths of [[the Underworld]], we call upon you."''
: '''Lord Glacius the Eternal:''' ''"Wheeeeee!"'' (Lord Glacius the Eternal spawns.)
:'''Stone Summit Gnasher''' (2)''':''' ''"You know, I would have thought him to be larger."''
:'''Stone Summit Gnasher''' (3)''':''' ''"Look here, at the summoning scroll. Beneath his picture it proclaims..."Actual size."<!--In-game quotation-->"''
:'''Stone Summit Gnasher''' (4)''':''' ''"*sigh* Well, we must make use of what we have. Attack!"''

One of the Stone Summit dwarves outside of Darkrime Delves gives the following speech when approached:
:''"This may be the resting place of [[Hammer of Kathandrax|Kathandrax's Crusher]] or the [[Anvil of Dragrimmar]]."''
:''"It would strike a crippling blow to those pathetic Deldrimor if we were to deny them such prizes."''
:''"If the relics lie within, they will be ours for the taking!"''
:''"We will muster our forces and push onwards."''
:''"Kill anything that stands in your way!"''

==Notes==
{{bug|A [[locked chest]] will occasionally spawn behind the zone portal leading to [[Norrhart Domains]]; there is no way to reach it.}}
*{{Vanquisher|count = 236|low = 220|high = 252}}
** Be mindful of [[Wurm]] and [[Mandragor]] pop-ups.
** [[Lord Glacius the Eternal]] appears only as your party approaches its spawn location amongst a group of [[Stone Summit Gnasher]]s.
**Consider vanquishing this area with the quest [[Leader of the Pack]] active. Although it will increase the amount of foes you must kill ([[Destroyer]]s), you'll also gain one [[Alpha Tundra Wolf]] and five [[Tundra Wolf]] allies that will follow your party, even after you defeat all of the Destroyers.

==Trivia==
{{gw2w}}
* The dialogue of the third Stone Summit Gnasher quotes the [[w:Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]] character Rupert Giles during the episode [[w:Fear, Itself|Fear, Itself]] when he encounters a small demon.
