This quest is part of the Sons of Hodir quest chain.

ObjectivesEdit

You are to go to Dun Niffelem and ask King Jokkum to allow Thorim's armor to be reforged. After completing Jokkum's task, you are to speak with Njormeld in Dun Niffelem.

• Fjorn's Anvil Brought to Dun Niffelem

Provided Item:

•  [Refined Gleaming Ore]

DescriptionEdit

<Thorim, for the first time since your meeting him, smiles.>

This is all beginning to have the smell of fate's hand, <race>.

Your discovery is what remains of my armor, long ago cast off in a fit of grief and left to the elements. Only the sons of Hodir are capable of its reforging, for they are its original creators.

Perhaps you've done enough to soften their hatred of me. Seek out their king, Jokkum, if he still breathes.

Find your way into his good graces and plead for his assistance.

RewardsEdit

You will be able to choose one of these rewards

	[Vestments of Dun Niffelem]		[Njormeld's Pauldrons]
	[Reforged Chain Leggings]		[Ring of Jokkum]

CompletionEdit

It would seem that I have refined my technique considerably. That, or the legends surrounding this anvil are true.

This suit of armor is superior to the last, and took less material to create.

With the excess, I was able to fashion you a little something as payment for your assistance.

NotesEdit

King Jokkum starts You Can't Miss Him, which is a mandatory side quest. Do it in order to complete this one.

Njormeld can be found by the anvil at the western end of Dun Niffelem.
