Description
By my beard! Do you know what this is?! It's an ancient tablet that describes how to forge the Bulwark of the Mountain King! The last one to wear that armor was Aegrim Bronzebeard, my ancestor and thane of the Bronzebeard clan. Talk to Advisor Belgrum. He'll know more about Aegrim's past, and might be able to shine some light on the legends of his armor.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Something Valuable, Perhaps?
<The tablet is too worn to be read. While some of the characters are legible, reading the tablet will be impossible without assistance. You can discern only a single word: Aegrim.>
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Watch Yer Back
Aegrim, you say? Bulwark of the Mountain King? Well, if we are going to start anywhere, it has to be Aegrim's study. The entrance lies below us in the depths of Old Ironforge. The only trouble is the troggs in our way. How about you take the lead?
