There's a hermit by the name of Drom Frostgrip who lives in a cave north of here... down in tha valley.

Yer sure to find him in the back of his cave... tell'm I sent ye and he'll help ye.

Our scouts have spotted iron dwarves in the valley north of here. I overheard King Stormheart sending you to visit Drom and I'm admittedly a bit worried about'm. If you find any iron dwarves when you head down there, put'm down hard and fast for me, eh?
