Description

Ah, I remember now! Mosarn is a well-respected blacksmith in Thunder Bluff. I knew I had heard his name somewhere, before.

In thanks, the Earthen Ring awarded me with a set of armor crafted by Mosarn. Very good work.

Perhaps he can tell you more about the shield he crafted.

It's not much of a lead, but since we didn't get anything useful out of Reethe, it's all we have.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Questioning ReetheDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    It took a long time, but I found Reethe. He hide good for a human. Ogron worried that he might be crazy after so much time in swamp. You come with me for we go get answers from him.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to KrogDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    I hope I've been helpful to you and I'm sorry I can't offer more information. My apprentices and I produce such a large volume of arms and armor that it's almost impossible to recall details about any individual piece.
