Valduran the Stormborn

Valduran the Stormborn is a quest for level 25-30 in The Storm Peaks. It is step 45 of 113 in The Storm Peaks storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Storm Peaks at 31.4, 38.1. It rewards 4 reward items, 5,150 experience and money.

Description

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 SecretsThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    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!The Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    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.
