'I have found someone that can make you some equipment of which Grimbeorn would be proud, but he requires some very unusual components. It will not be easy to obtain these things, but he insists they are necessary!

'You will need to place yourself in peril to find the pieces we will need. First you should gather tough carapaces of the nerbeglir which skitter among the pools of Malenhad in Angmar. We will also need the spiked helmet of the Dourhand captain Hogni Cleave-shank, who at last report was commanding the Dourhands at the fortress of Gabilazan in the Misty Mountains. Our family has never been over-fond of dwarves, but this dwarf in particular is a vile sort and quite dangerous.

'Return with these items, and I will see what else is required of us.'
