'Now, I want to set matters right. I do! And maybe you can help do that?
'See, like I said before, Nate said that before he gave the sword to Blake, he was going to test the blade against the workers at the unfinished silo site to the east. The site is just before the graveyard and at the top of the hollow of boars.
'If you find him there, maybe you can convince him to return Lofar's sword and leave my family alone. What do you say?'
Nate may be found near the abandoned work-site to the east of Thornley's Work-site, before the graveyard and at the top of the boar-hollow.
Kenton told you that Nate said he was going to test the sword on the workers to the east of Thornley's Work-site. If you can find Nate there, perhaps you can get Lofar's sword back.
Kenton Thistleway can be found, working, at the southernmost section of Thornley's Work-site along the Greenway.
You found the brigand Nate, who stole Lofar's blade. Unfortunately for him, the blade broke, and he was slain by one of the boars he sought to kill. You should speak to Kenton Thistleway and let him know that Nate will no longer trouble his family.
Lofar Ironband can be found at the stone house just north of the Bree Cross-roads where Chief Watcher Grimbriar has set up his post.
You found Nate dead and Lofar's sword broken. Now Kenton Thistleway is afraid that the brigand Blake will come looking for his sword and will harm Kenton's family when he finds that it does not exist. Kenton has asked you to convince Lofar Ironband to forge another that he can use to appease Blake.
