Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Ah, thank you for the help, <name>. I will recover in time from these wounds, but nothing can help my brother, Thorkell. When last I saw him he was trapped in the jaws of a great worm. I can only hope his end was swift. 'The worms will have naught to bury but they do not eat dwarf-steel. If you dare venture within their caves and retrieve what remains of my brother's belongings, I shall reward you richly. 'You can find the worm caves to the south-east.' Background Thorgest's brother Thorkell was killed a few days earlier by worms. Objective 1 Collect Thorkell's axe Collect Thorkell's helm The worm caves are to the south-east of Thorgest's dwelling. Thorgest has asked you to find and return Thorkell's belongings. Thorgest: 'Have the worms devoured everything? Something must remain of my brother's belongings that you can recover....' Collected Thorkell's helm Collected Thorkell's axe Objective 2 Return Thorkell's belongings to Thorgest The worm caves are to the south-east of Thorgest's dwelling. Thorgest has asked you to find and return Thorkell's belongings. Thorgest: 'Ah, is this all that remains of my fair brother Thorkell? Would that I had fallen in his stead.... 'But nay, I speak as a fool in my mourning! My dear brother was ever the warrior and adventurer -- moreso than I. He gave his life as he chose to save mine, and I'll never again gainsay his valour for doing so. Nor will I dishonour his name by failing to live as he chose that I should. 'It seems that I have much to do, <name>, and wallowing in my grief while the merciless wind wears down these mountains will not get it done!'
