Reference to the norwegian piece of music 'In the Hall of the Mountain King (I Dovregubbens hall)'.
Originally part of a play called Peer Gynt in the late 19th century, it became famous for appearing in countless movies and influencing tons of musical artists.

Description

The Thorium Brotherhood doesn't maintain a militia - just a few guards, and me, and that's it. If we're to successfully strike against the Dark Irons of the gorge, we're gonna need help. Mountain-Lord Rendan sits atop that tower across the gorge, to our south. He doesn't consort with Twilight folks or fire elementals, but he hasn't joined the brotherhood either. Maybe it's time we paid him a visit. With his help, we might just stand a chance.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dark MinistrySearing Gorge · Level 15-30

    I got one more assignment for ye. This one comes straight down from the Overseer himself. Seems he was pretty shook up once he heard about that "Archduke" ye discovered. He's asked for us to hunt down three Twilight ministers that work over in Firewatch Ridge, to the west.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Siege!Searing Gorge · Level 15-30

    That Overseer Oilfist couldn't'a picked a worse time to ask me to join a fight. My summit's already under siege! It's nothin' my guards can't handle, but still, it won't be easy for me to just pick up and send some dwarves into that infernal gorge.
