Coldain Ring Quest - Silver
To do this, you must have already completed the copper ring quest.
Ask Garadain Glacierbane 'Who is your nephew'
Garadain Glacierbane says 'My nephew, Boridain, keeps running away from home to kill a bothersome [beast], thinking this will prove to all of Thurgadin that he is a great
hunter. Every time he does this my sister gets hysterical and I am sent out to find him.
You say, 'What beast'
Garadain Glacierbane says 'A rabid tundra kodiak has been feeding on our people for weeks now. If Boridain ever stumbled across the critter I doubt he'd stand a chance. I
have a solution, but it would require the [assistance] of an outsider.
You say, 'I will provide assistance'
Garadain Glacierbane says 'I'm taking a liking to you stranger. Your eagerness to help us will not go unnoticed. Find my nephew and give him this axe. It should keep him
from hurting himself. Return to me with the ring and proof that he is safe.
Find Boridain Glacierbane, he is at -2500, 1500, you will find him on a flat spot of a mountain. Several giants, wolves and orcs path through this area. Boridain is on Beta-Neutral faction at this
point so he is not KoS to anything at this point.
You say, 'hail Boridain Glacierbane'
Boridain Glacierbane says 'Hello stranger, I am Boridain, master hunter of the Coldain. Glad to meet you.
Give the Dull Bladed Axe to Boridain.
Boridain Glacierbane says 'Say! This looks just like the axe my uncle uses. With this I can kill the beast for sure! Now please, be very quiet, I must track my prey. I won't
return to Thurgadin without the hide of the rabid tundra kodiak!
At this point Boridain despawns and then respawns with an axe in his hand and is now aligned with the Coldain faction. I have heard about people have charmed Boridain and buffed him up to
give him more HPs to keep him alive. I have been told that the best method is to use harmony on both Boridain AND anything in his path. He will attack anything and everything. Just keep him harmonied
and he'll be a bit more calm. He walks from his plateau for a bit then emotes this:
Boridain Glacierbane says 'Hmmm, fresh prints. They're HUGE! This must be it! This hunting stuff is easier than I thought.
Now he heads to the Frost Giant fort entrance. Be sure to harmony the giants at the entrance before he gets there!
Boridain Glacierbane says 'Hmm, that wasn't him.Let see now, if I were a rabid tundra beast where would I go? This way!
Now he walks towards the prison camp area and stops to get a bite to eat. His stopping point is -1150, 1000 and stays there for 2 minutes.
Boridain Glacierbane says 'Boy, all this hunting sure does make ya hungry! Time for a snack.
Boridain Glacierbane says 'Ahh, that's better. Back to the hunt... I think I hear something over yonder. Stay low.
Now he goes to a corral thingy in the Prison Camp area. Sometimes there is a giant and an orc here. I just harmonied them and kept harmony on Boridain and they all ignored each other.
Boridain Glacierbane says 'Where did that vile beast go now? Wait, what's that over there? Could it be? Only one way to find out!
He starts off towards the Orc Fort and stops midway to take a little rest. His stopping point is -2000, 1400. He stays here for two minutes.
Boridain Glacierbane yawns, 'All This tracking is makin me mighty sleepy. Time for a little nap. You keep a lookout.
Boridain Glacierbane stretches, 'Ahh, refreshing! Back to work... I think I smell the beast! This way.
Now Boridain goes to the Orc Fort entrance. Make sure you keep him harmonied as well as any orcs at the gate.
Boridain Glacierbane says 'I just don't get it. I thought that was him for sure. I don't see any sign of him now.
Now Boridain goes back to the spot you originally found him and sits down at the corner. (-2300, 1600)
Boridain Glacierbane says 'Who am I kidding, I'm no hunter. I'll never be a hunter. I may as well give up and become a miner like dad.
A Rabid Tundra Kodiak spawns and starts to creep up to him from behind. Kill it before it gets to him and have someone guard the dorf so he doesn't get killed by
passing baddies. Once you kill it, give the skin to Baradain and he gives you his axe to give back to Garadain.
Boridain Glacierbane says 'Yes! I've done it! The vile beast is finally dead. I will at last be revered as the mighty hunter I am. Here is your axe back, I broke it on the killing blow. Take it as proof that you are a friend of the greatest hunter in the history of the Coldain!
You gain party experience!!
Now go back to Garadain and hand him the Broken Axe and the Copper Coldain Insignia Ring.
Garadain Glacierbane says 'Excuse me, aren't you forgetting something?
Garadain Glacierbane says 'Well done friend! My nephew is safe at home and his thirst for adventure is quenched for now. The beast will claim no more of our people. I couldn't have handled it better myself. Now I can get back to the business of [hunting].
