Objectives
Help Merrix disguise himself as Steelvein.
- Cloak handed to Merrix
- Gloves handed to Merrix
- Weapons handed to Merrix
- Titan Device brought to Merrix
Description
I do not know if Ardgrin merely intended to sabotage me or if he wanted to force a confrontation. Either way, a confrontation he will have.
I believe this situation can be rectified peacefully, but I cannot do it as the Councilward. Steelvein has never appeared in the stone, but he must now. I will parlay with Ardgrin in the Deeps and this situation will be concluded.
I would have you accompany me, but there are some things I want you to know before that. Help me prepare and I will speak with you.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 28
9
- 10,400 XP
Completion
I will have this solved peacefully.
Though if Ardgrin asks for violence, we will answer.
Notes
Upon accept:
- Merrix says: My purpose is to protect all earthen. It is the Edict I follow above all others.
Pick up a nearby cloak and hand it to Merrix:
- Merrix says: When the earthen split into the Unbound and the Oathsworn--those who leave the Edicts behind and those who follow them--I was caught in a paradox.
Pick up a pair of gloves from a nearby chest and hand them to Merrix:
- Merrix says: If I helped those who had abandoned Dornogal, that would break the Edicts. But if I did not help them, that would break them just the same.
Pick up a pair of fist weapons from Saradi and hand them to Merrix:
- Merrix says: And so I bent them instead. I felt my programming... bifurcate, I suppose. Merrix and Steelvein. Image and essence. Facade and machinery.
Pick up a nearby titan device and hand it to Merrix:
- Steelvein says: The earthen need both, and would suffer in the absence of either. But some problems require Steelvein's... unique touch.
