Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

'Now that we have all of our raw materials, we are ready to build the sleds. However, our rawhide will never hold the wood together if it is not cured first. Curing the rawhide dries it and makes it last longer.

'First, we will need some suola -- salt, the Kivi-väki call it. The Kivi-väki bring it from a place known only in stories, where mouths rise out from the earth. These traders are the only ones who are able to gather it. Trade them a set of antlers for a satchel of suola, then place it in the curing barrel with the rawhide strips.

'If you do this for me, you will have proven yourself a friend to the kelkka-makers of the Lumi-väki.'

Background

You gathered the necessary supplies for the Lossoth sled-builders, but they still need salt to cure the hides.

Objective 1

Trade with Ofráth

Ofráth can be found along the road south of Kauppa-kohta.

Eija has asked you to go to the dwarves and trade a set of antlers for a satchel of salt to help in the hide-curing process.

Ofráth: 'Good day there! It's a relief to talk to someone without stumbling around in that befuddled language. You caught us right in time; we're just preparing to take the road south back towards more civilized folk.

'Salt? I don't quite know what the Lossoth do with all this salt, but as long as they've got trades for it, we're happy to haul it down here.

'What? An antler? Shame on them; I'd expect at least a few hides for this. You're lucky we've got so much work to do, or I'd send you straight back.'

Objective 2

Use the Curing Barrel

The curing barrel is next to Eija in Kauppa-kohta's shoreline sled-building camp.

Now that you have obtained a satchel of salt from the dwarves, you should return to Eija and place it in the curing barrel.

Objective 3

Talk to Eija

Eija is in Kauppa-kohta's sled-building camp, at the lake's eastern shore.

Having started the curing process for the rawhide, you should speak with Eija once more.

Eija: 'This will be enough suola to cure all of the hides you brought to me. Thank you, <name>, for your help.'
