Missing information in the Great Worm Cavern in the Storm King’s Thunder adventure

content-identificationdnd-5epublished-adventuresstorm-kings-thunder

On page 88 of the Storm King's Thunder adventure, under the Great Worm Cavern heading, in the Altar section, the end of the second paragraph reads:

The couatl knows that Wormblod is away, searching for a missing concubine named If the characters present proof of Wormblod's death as offering to the altar, see "Development."

There seems to be some content missing after the word 'named'!
And, I'm not sure where the 'Development' section resolves to.

Anyone have any ideas as to what content is supposed to be there?
Yes, I could make something up, but would like to know where Wormblod is!

The information about this development is part of the "Treasure" section

It is probably an editing mistake; it is missing from the book's errata, and D&D Beyond is not updated either. The second paragraph under the Treasure section describes the development of the situation:

If the characters slay Wormblod and bring proof of his demise, the couatl emerges from the altar and bestows on each of them a charm of restoration (see the “Supernatural Gifts” section in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide). The couatl then returns to the altar and makes no further attempt to communicate with them.

The missing name

So, for the name of the missing concubine, I looked into the Storm King's Thunder errata, and couldn't find the missing word. However, in chapter 4 of the adventure, you can discover the missing name. The description of area 4 of the Eye of the All-Father states:

Wormblod and his barbarians have come to the Eye of the All-Father to find a missing member of their tribe (see area 9A).

And the description of the mentioned area states the character's name:

The third [cocoon] contains a living Uthgardt barbarian of the Great Worm tribe named Noori [...]
