Lantern of Enchanted Flame, Bloodied Leather Gloves, Belt of the Stormforged, 21g, 5,150 XPDescription
We have no choice, {name}. What you learned in Mimir's Workshop means that we must act before Valduran can complete and unleash his new weapon. Even now, the refuge's defenders fight to buy us time to deal with Valduran the Stormborn. You must go to Nidavelir, across the Snowdrift Plains to the southwest, and then find and face Valduran. But you will not be alone. Bring this war horn with you and sound it as you prepare to face the leader of our enemies. Bruor and I will aid you in this battle.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Armor's Secrets
The presence of that armor plate is disorienting, but we need to find out all we can from it. It could be part of one of Valduran's schemes. He's dedicated an extraordinary amount of effort to mining, refining, smithing, and testing this metal.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Destroy the Forges!
In my folly, I'd thought Valduran's project at Narvir's Cradle, a large construction area to the south, no more than a grotesque monument to "Keeper" Loken's cruelty. Now we know the truth, that it was meant to be used as a weapon against us and our allies.
