Forging Anew

General Quest

Just when you thought you were going to hear Naerandir's story, he sends you on another job, with the suggestion of a final task after that. You will be bringing a local smith the key halves you found.

STEPS:

1) Bring the key fragments to Kenton Thistleway. Naerandir says:

"He resides on the west side of Bree, where most blacksmiths reside. He is close to the stables, I think, and has been down on his luck of late. He is an old friend and helping me will perhaps spark his passion again."

Take the path west from Naerandir and pass under the Inn Gate. Not too far after that, turn to the left (south) and you'll find Kenton standing next to a forge (29.8s, 52.5w). Kenton forges the fragments into a whole key.

2) Bring the soot-covered key to Naerandir. He is pleased with the key, and tells you the grand news:

"It is time that you take the key back into the Great Barrow and face the evil within."

3) After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, the Skull Key, and you will now be able to take the next quest, Evil's Final Chapter.
