Quest:The Will of the Iron, Part I

Bestowal dialogue

'You have progressed a great deal, [your name], but if you do not study the efforts of your betters, you can never hope to exceed them.

'You should speak with Glasi Ironhand, a skilled metalsmith in the Blue Mountains. Look for him at the forges of Thorin's Hall.

'Do not be discouraged if he feels you are unready! The Ironhand is very particular about whom he chooses to train and is very likely to turn you away.'

Background

Your skill as a metalsmith has improved, but you still have much to learn.

Objective 1

Glasi Ironhand is by the forges within Thorin's Hall, in Ered Luin.

You have been told to speak with Glasi Ironhand in Thorin's Hall, for he is a metalsmith of great skill and can further your training in the art.

• Talk to Glasi Ironhand

'It has been a long time since I have left Thorin's Halls, [your name], for here I have everything I need to work my craft and fellows to fetch anything I chance to lack.

'You have only dabbled in the working of metals before coming to me, [your name]. Your true training begins today.

'Return to your forge and practice the art! When you're ready, I will see you again -- but not before. At that time I will test your skill.'
