Description

<Thorim, for the first time since your meeting him, smiles.>

This is all beginning to have the smell of fate's hand, <race>.

Your discovery is what remains of my armor, long ago cast off in a fit of grief and left to the elements. Only the sons of Hodir are capable of its reforging, for they are its original creators.

Perhaps you've done enough to soften their hatred of me. Seek out their king, Jokkum, if he still breathes.

Find your way into his good graces and plead for his assistance.

This quest was wierd. Series of events:

- Talked to King Jokkum, and he didn't complete the quest. He sent me to talk to Njormeld, who was around 77,63.
- Njormeld gave me a quest to ride Snorri, pick up snowballs, then use them to kill the Revenants (10).
- That quest completed, then Njormeld dosappeared, and the area phased. The anvil was gone and was filled wil Revenants.
- Returned to Dun Niffelum, where Njormeld was waiting to complete THIS quest and give me another to talk to Thorim, at Temple of Storms.

This quest is a bit tricky.

When you get the quest you have to go and get another quest from King Jokkum (Located at 64,65)

You will be asked to help Njormeld (Located at 74, 63) to cool down the Anvil with the use of Snorri who will throw snowballs.

When you're done you jump out of Snorri and then head to Njormeld and hand in the quest. This will complete the object for this quest.
Head back to 64,65 and look for Njormeld there aswell.

Enjoy!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Spark of HopeThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    Clearly, this is more than an ordinary hunk of metal. Unlike any ore you're familiar with, it is hard but not brittle, far lighter than it looks, and glows even when cool. Looking closer, you can make out one of Thorim's runes shining beneath the surface....

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • You Can't Miss HimThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    <Jokkum listens patiently to your request, then ponders it carefully before responding.> So it is you we have to thank for Fjorn's demise? While it's true that you have aided us in our time of need, there is still much that must be done to repair our relations with Thorim.
