OK folks, here's a little translation of that german text posted on that other board ( if it sounds a little bit strange then I did a perfect translation, as the german version sounds just like that 
)
"Due to a mistake by the 'Father of the Monsters' the dead slave gave live and fled into the frozen lands of Wolfwheat. By the anger if the 'iron', he who lives beyond the yawning rock has to bring it again and recapture it in that area ( that sentence didn't really make sense in the german version). By the pleasures of the hanging iron, should she fail the 'Father of Forseti' will be free again. The slave and his brethren build a horrible world from the skin of the giant, who paid with his blood for 3 times 9 years and gives them shelter. The remaining time is brief in which you can send him back to his sisters of the fatal fate of the one-armed Iron."
OK, i hope this helps a bit - have fun with that quest folks, i'm off to my vacation

Location of DF entrance in Hibernia
"It is on top of the hill west northwest of the bridge between Ardee and Basar.
Spraggonolls spawn at the base of the hill and wind ghouls up a bit higher...and of course now the demons associated with a DF entrance."
Very near to Rysa?
On a different note Aeiedel recently found another giant in Mid and saw it yawn, a smaller version of the glacier giant.
Also Warcry doesn't list either NPC (Rysa or Fuasa)

Campaign and Events:
Events, be they official or player run (organised by players with or without a little help from the event teams) are starting to flourish on all servers and with those little weekly maintenances, the various elements needed for the start of this summer campaign are in.Feel free to share your ideas, reactions and information about events both in the game and on forums. BarrysWorld forums are ones of the most active forums for the English Servers community, from there you will probably find what you want if you are looking for more information about the activity on your server.
About this summer multi-realm Campaign, here is a little message from the Story Team:
"During the first days, do not search for a massive invasion of the demonic princes, insane special effects everywhere or massive explosions of violence. These things take time, and the demonic princes know that they will need a good organisation before forcing one or more of the three realms of DAoC to kneel before them.
Some stories start as the sun burns, as the harvests grow slowly under a nice blue sky, as the peasants are busy preparing the summer solstice celebrations and as the Kings prepare their future battle plans…
During the last three weeks, using the weekly maintenance, we already added many elements in the game. While some are or will be linked directly to the campaign, some are more "DAoC background" oriented Already some of these NPCs are wandering the realms, ready to give their messages to the ones willing to listen to them... and understand them.
Some other hints have been hidden across the three realms and the plot will unfold slowly in the weeks to come.
Be sure that the quests you will face will not be simple "go kill this monster there and you will be rewarded" also know that all the keywords will not always be the ones [under brackets]…
Do not worry if you think that the current encounters are rare and often innocent, the tension will grow slowly, all over summer and, around the beginning of new school year, you should not be able to avoid being involved in it. Or maybe you should think about it a bit earlier…"
In any case, the first European DAoC Campaign has now officially started…

Some reports from Alb.
We have so far located 3 ghostly frozen NPCs, Kall, Kold and Kayla. They speak to our mind-bender class Sorcerer. Say exactly the same thing. 2 of them are in inner Albion one is up in Snowdonia on the ridge to the relic keep, by one of the standing stones.
As GOA suggested we've tried alot of unbracketed keywords with no succes, we also were at Odins, found Snuva there and found what we thought was a new giant for this, Hrunghir. As he was purple to 50 and aggressive it seemed the choice in approach was limited and he died. Nothing whatsoever but a bag of coins came of it, as I was later informed this giant is marked on US maps of Odins and indeed isn't new.
On a seemingly unrelated incident we had a storm down in Lyonesse with a shipwreck crashing somewhere (out of sight), that's all I know of that for the moment as I was in Odins when it happend.

ehem for your information..
"There are 3 nps, Frusa in bri leith, rysa in connacht, snuva near the GG"
all those 3 names are swedish words ( almost )
Frusa ( swedish frysa ) - freezing
Rysa - shivering
Snuva - when u have a cold and your nose is filled with, yeh u know
so basically all 3 words are related to cold climat
[added]
"We have so far located 3 ghostly frozen NPCs, Kall, Kold and Kayla."
Kall is the swedish word for Cold. the other 2 seems likely to mean the same, in what language i dont know.

The first problem is that the text on the english servers is truncated. We have less than 40% of the entire riddle.
The second problem is that the text has obviously been written by GOA's event team in French, and the translation looks suspiciously babelfished. For example, the French text says that the slave fled FROM the frozen lands, but the English version on Excalibur says that the slave fled INTO the frozen lands. Here is the full text that is being spoken by the NPCs on the French servers.
Unfortunately the text even in French is 1) deliberately cryptic, and 2) written in a kind of formal-stylistic-froofiness that makes it a real brain-twister to translate effectively into English without actually speaking to the person who wrote it and getting some clues as to what he was trying to impart, to be able to choose the best words and phrases. Without being able to do that, here's my best shot:
He's playing a lot with "fer" (iron) using it to mean different things in different ways, for example "par le courroux des fers" which literally means "by the displeasure of the irons," I interpret to mean something like "by the clash of iron", or in other words, "by force". But as for the hanging iron(s) or the tragic destiny of the one-armed iron, well, I guess we will have to wait and see.
It did occur to me that this could all be backstory that GOA is building around the introduction of Darkness Falls - that just before the patch we will have some sort of event or battle that will explain what the darkness falls dungeon is and how it came to be opened. Could the "yawning rock" be the dungeon caverns and the "first giant" be Legion? Can't wait to find out!

The German site had an interesting thought as well.
According to mythology Balder was killed by his brother and will rise again only after Ragnarok (the end of the world (=Armageddon?).
I do hope that all of this refers to an event instead of being an elaborate prelude to the patch in which Darkness Falls opens.....

Father of Forseti was Balder (as has been pointed out above)
A DEITY whose life might in a sense be said to be neither in heaven nor on earth but between the two, was the Norse Balder, the good and beautiful god, the son of the great god Odin, and himself the wisest, mildest, best beloved of all the immortals. The story of his death, as it is told in the younger or prose Edda, runs thus. Once on a time Balder dreamed heavy dreams which seemed to forebode his death. Thereupon the gods held a council and resolved to make him secure against every danger. So the goddess Frigg took an oath from fire and water, iron and all metals, stones and earth, from trees, sicknesses and poisons, and from all four-footed beasts, birds, and creeping things, that they would not hurt Balder. When this was done Balder was deemed invulnerable; so the gods amused themselves by setting him in their midst, while some shot at him, others hewed at him, and others threw stones at him. But whatever they did, nothing could hurt him; and at this they were all glad. Only Loki, the mischief-maker, was displeased, and he went in the guise of an old woman to Frigg, who told him that the weapons of the gods could not wound Balder, since she had made them all swear not to hurt him. Then Loki asked, “Have all things sworn to spare Balder?” She answered, “East of Walhalla grows a plant called mistletoe; it seemed to me too young to swear.” So Loki went and pulled the mistletoe and took it to the assembly of the gods. There he found the blind god Hother standing at the outside of the circle. Loki asked him, “Why do you not shoot at Balder?” Hother answered, “Because I do not see where he stands; besides I have no weapon.” Then said Loki, “Do like the rest and show Balder honour, as they all do. I will show you where he stands, and do you shoot at him with this twig.” Hother took the mistletoe and threw it at Balder, as Loki directed him. The mistletoe struck Balder and pierced him through and through, and he fell down dead. And that was the greatest misfortune that ever befell gods and men. For a while the gods stood speechless, then they lifted up their voices and wept bitterly. They took Balder’s body and brought it to the sea-shore. There stood Balder’s ship; it was called Ringhorn, and was the hugest of all ships. The gods wished to launch the ship and to burn Balder’s body on it, but the ship would not stir. So they sent for a giantess called Hyrrockin. She came riding on a wolf and gave the ship such a push that fire flashed from the rollers and all the earth shook. Then Balder’s body was taken and placed on the funeral pile upon his ship. When his wife Nanna saw that, her heart burst for sorrow and she died. So she was laid on the funeral pile with her husband, and fire was put to it. Balder’s horse, too, with all its trappings, was burned on the pile.

I know some more...
Balder (or Baldur or Paltar), was the god of light, beauty and peace. Perhaps even a god of vegitation. His palace was called Breidablik.
After the story told by cjkace above....Balder's brother Hermod tried to rescue him from the underworld but he was not successfull. Frigga (balders mom) went to Hel and asked to return Balder. He could return if all on earth cried about baldurs death. Only Loki (Thokk) didn't and prevented Balders return.
I also know something more about the ship....
Hyrrokin, giant and sorceress was called to uleash Balders ship. She came on her wolf and jumped off. Odin ordered 4 berserkers (!!!) to hold the wolf, but they couldnt hold the wolf and had to kill it. Hyrrokin however managed to free the ship with 1 pull. The earth shivered while doing so and Thor got upset by it. He tried to kill Hyrrokin with his hammer but she got protection by other gods. A channel was formed and the ship went out

Last week I(playing Spankya my bard) was omw to meet my guildmate ivynoxia near Basar and ahe saw Rysa and mentioned her and so I went over and talked to Rysa. Well Rysa came out with a load of rubbish and didnt even finish the sentence properly.... all very odd
I was a bit peeved after this and so after sticking on my speed, getting a bit of distance between myself and Rysa, I gave Rysa A nice mes Then proceeded to use lullaby to keep pulling her near to me whilst heading to basar with several more lullabys on the way there to keep her interested Dragged her over to the sentinals which is where I began to shit my pants. She completely destroyed a sentinel and only lost about 5% health... luckily for me another sentinel was near the basar tower who intercepted her and then the origional sentinel respawned.... After watching her kill about 6 sentinels I lagged out and the bitch killed me and Ivy :-/ I'll try again sometime and get her killed :-P
My advice = Dont attack her, coz she is one tough little cookie!!

OK...they fixed the bugged text, here it is:
Rysa says, "Because of "The Father of the Monsters" mistake, the dead slave gave birth and fled to the frozen lands of "Wolfwheat". By the displeasure of the "irons", he who lives beyond the "yawning rock" must take it back, and once again, lock in my domain. By the desire of the "hanging iron", if she came to fail, the father of Forseti shall be free. The slave and his mischievous offspring built a terrible world from a flesh of "the Giant who got lost in his blood for three times nine years", and there hiding, feasting on his usurped life. Short is the time left to offer him back to the sister of catastrophic fate of the "one-armed iron".

Suppose, just suppose the word "irons" means "aesir", the gods.. Thus the "offering/delivering him back to the sister of the catastrophic/terrible fate of the 'one-armed iron'" could mean delivering someone/thing back to the sister of the wolf Fenrir, who bit off Tyr's hand (Tyr thus being the "one-armed iron"). As pointed above, Fenrir's sister is Hel(a)...
But the land of "Wolfwheat"? And who's the "hanging iron" then...
"By the displeasure of the gods"... "To the displeasure of the gods" or " To please the gods"?
And why's it such a bad thing if Baldur/er is freed? Or am I only reading it wrong and that would be the whole point, to free him?

And why's it such a bad thing if Baldur/er is freed? Or am I only reading it wrong and that would be the whole point, to free him?

Don't know, it's all mixed up. Odin was hanged, once. The first giant was Ymir, and when Odin and his brothers killed him most of the other giants drowned in the huge wave of blood that poured forth.
If somehow it means that the one who could be freed is Loki, then that would be bad.

Not quite. Loki is imprisoned down in the bowels of the earth, tied down onto three huge boulders with the entrails of his dead son Nari, with a poisonous snake hanging over him dripping poison into his face. His wife Sigyn is there holding a bowl catching the poison, but every once in a while when the bowl is full she goes to empty it, and the poison drips directly onto him, causing him to writhe in agony (which causes earthquakes in the land above). It might sound a bit drastic but it's the only language these people understand.
When Ragnarok comes, he will break free of his imprisonment and lead the giants in the war against the gods. He's a nasty booger and we don't particularly want him roaming around.

Not sure if this is old news, but there is also a new NPC in TNN, callled Velfaur the Astrologer. He chatted so me, but I didn't write it down , mainly generalised portents of doom.
You can find him by the first building on the left when you exit the tunnel heading from the mages compound.

What puzzles me, is why is it that the event in Hib seems to involve Norse mythology?

I think it's one large event that involves all three realms.
