Giant Dwarf, The

Description:

Five hundred years have passed since the rule of King Alvis, savior of Keldagrim, victim of his own inventions.

He founded the Consortium: the gathering of mining companies that were to serve the monarchy. But eventually the monarchy came to serve the Consortium.

By the time of his death, the monarchy was all but abolished. Now the Kings in Keldagrim are but a distant memory... with only the statue of King Alvis to remind the people of the old days. The dark days.

So begins the Rise of the Red Axe, the new multipart storyline centered around the dwarves and their capital of Keldagrim. The first quest, The Giant Dwarf, introduces the city and the powerful business Consortium that rules the dwarven realm. Discover weird going-ons, narrowly escape from falling chunks of rock, ride around in minecarts and... make sure you don't bump into the wrong person on the way to the city!

Start Point:

The Keldagrim mines east of Rellekka and north of the Mountain Camp. Follow the dwarven statues to the underground river.

To Start:

Speak to the Commander Veldaban in Keldagrim. (You will need to first travel to Keldagrim via the Dwarven Boatman and complete Keldagrim's introductory cutscene.) This allows skillers to enter Keldagrim without meeting the quest's requirements.

Instructions:

Speak to Dwarven Boatman at the cave entrance. He will take you to the city of Keldagrim. Along the way the boat will accidentally crash into and demolish a large statue.
Once in the city, speak to Commander Veldaban to start the quest.
Head to the east part of town and speak to Blasidar the sculptor, who is located slightly northwest of the eastern pub. He will ask you to collect pieces for his model to construct the new statue of the king. He asks for you to get a battleaxe, clothes, and boots that resemble those of the original king's.
To get the clothes, go speak to Vermundi in the palace on the east side of town. She will agree to make the clothes for you, but will need a book with the design of them.
Speak to the Librarian who is in the first building on the west side of the bridge, and search the bookshelves until you find the Book on costumes.

Note: You cannot have heavy armor with you when climbing the ladder or you will fall down.
Take the Book on costumes, 1 log, 1 Coal, 200 coins, and a Tinderbox back to Vermundi Use the log and the coal with the spinning machine. Then, talk to her again and she will ask you to light the logs in the machine. For a small fee of 200 coins she will make you the Exquisite clothes.
Now, speak to Saro the armor salesman on the west side of town to obtain the boots. He will direct you to Dromund.
Speak to Dromund, who can be found at his house just east of the sword shop. He will refuse to sell you the Exquisite boots, so you will need to telegrab one boot (right) from the outside window. To do this wait for the man to walk past you and then telegrab it. For the second (left) boot walk into the house and again wait for him to pass before grabbing the boot. To take the boots instead of telegrabbing, wait for Dromund to walk to the north side of the table and quickly take it.
Speak to Santiri the sword salesman on the northwestern corner of the town to obtain the Dwarven battleaxe, He will give you what he believes is the king's old axe. Once you have the battleaxe use 3 Sapphires with it.
Now, take the Dwarven battleaxe (with gems) and an Iron bar to Thurgo who is south of Port Sarim. He will fix the axe for you but might ask for a Redberry pie. He will give you the Dwarven battleaxe (restored) and give you the option to teleport back to Keldagrim.
When you have all 3 pieces, bring them back to Blasidar the sculptor. He will tell you to give them to Riki the sculptor's model, standing next to him. Once you have given the items, Riki will then tell you to speak Blasidar. He will fix the statue up to the head because the Consortium has not decided yet whose face the head should resemble. He will tell you that you need to join the consortium.
You now have to join a company. The different companies are located in the palace (big building in the center of the city) on the second floor on the east and west sides of the river.

Note: You can simply go down to the Blast Furnace and buy around 5 of each ore (mith,coal,gold,iron,copper) and when accepting a job from the secretary, simply ask for a job and only accept the ones you have ores for... (simply walk away and ask again until you get a job you have ores for) The company names are:
- The Blue Opals
- The Brown Engine (can only be joined be male characters)
- The Green Gemstone
- The Purple Pewter
- The Red Axe (cannot be joined)
- The Silver Cog
- The White Chisel
- The Yellow Fortune (can only be joined be female characters)
Speak to a company secretary and run 5-10 errands for them, the secretary will have you collect ores. After running 5 errands for the secretary, speak to the director and run another few errands for the director. The director will ask you to collect bars. After running your errands for the director they will ask you to join the company officially.

Note: If they ask you to get something you do not have, walk away without accepting the job and talk again until it is something easy.
After becoming a member of a company and assuring the director of your support, go back and speak to Commander Veldaban. He will take you to the meeting and give you the Meeting notes. Once the meeting is over you will receive your reward.
Note: Be sure you have assured the director of your support before going back to Commander Veldaban. Commander Veldaban will send you back to the director if you have not.
