Description

A recent hunting expedition brought back more than just game.

They encountered a wounded dwarf fleeing the iron dwarf stronghold of Dun Argol. He may have information we can use to strike at our ancient enemy, but before he's of any use to us, we must bring down his fever.

The horns of the silvercoat stags, who roam the nearby forest, have long been used to make healing poultices. If you can bring enough of the horns to me, we'll see if the poultice can bring our 'guest' around.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An Intriguing PlanGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    Prospector Rokar has decided to help us. He's concocted a plan to use the iron dwarves' strength against them. I must admit, our new 'friend' is more insightful than I'd given him credit for. He's correct in that our numbers are too few for a direct attack.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • From the Ground UpGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    We don't have enough time for me to forge the parts myself, but the foundries over at Dun Argol, to the southeast, are working day and night to churn out golem parts. I think you should go back there and pick up enough of them for me to make a golem from this blueprint.
