  I don't know where this core is hiding, but ye knew that. I said I'd help though, and that I shall. There's a hermit by the name of Drom Frostgrip who lives in a cave north of here... down in tha valley.

After this quest

• The Lonesome WatcherThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

  I never found the core... but I've often spoken to the keeper Creteus, and his omissions give him away. You'll find Creteus over the mountains to the east, in the Foot Steppes, keeping watch on the Engine of the Makers. The core might well be in there, but you'll need to win Creteus's favor.
