- Rescue the Stonefather... and Flint
We found out where the Stonefather is being held and young Flint ran off on his own to rescue him! I don't have to tell you that this is bad. Flint is going to get himself captured as well, or worse!

I present you with the key to Stonehearth. With it you may unlock the vault to my home and recover the middle fragment of the World Pillar. Keep the fragment safe, <name>. Make certain to get it to the Temple of Earth in the middle of Deepholm as quickly as possible!
