Description
You've done an excellent job of delaying the work on the iron colossus, but I fear we've only made the stormforged more determined to complete the weapon. Even now, they're bringing in new laborers and the overseers push them to the limit. We may not be able to keep them from bringing the colossus online, after all. Return to Narvir's Cradle, to the south and find the documents detailing the colossus' offensive and defensive abilities. They should be near the tents and forges on the bottom level.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hit Them Where it Hurts
Bouldercrag's got a good plan to stymie the efforts of the iron dwarves at Narvir's Cradle, and I've got an idea of my own. Work on the iron colossus will come to a halt without any artisans. Narvir's Cradle is on the south side of the hill sheltering Bouldercrag's Refuge.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Heart of the Storm
According to the documents you captured at Narvir's Cradle, the iron colossus is complete except for one key component -- the Heart of the Storm. Without it, the iron colossus' weapons would be much weaker than the design predicts.
