You've discovered a fragment of a special prison, <name>.

    Something about this scrap of metal prevents you from casting it aside. Perhaps Raelorasz might be able to shed some light on its purpose.

After this quest

  • KeristraszaBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    I am... free? I was destined to spend an eternity roaming an empty abyss, and now am saved? You cannot fathom my gratitude, mortal. When I refused to bend to his will Malygos bound me to that prison, then shattered it and scattered the pieces.
