Start: Talk to Thrain Ironfist
Thrain Ironfist: As you can see, some terrible event happened that simply obliterated my forge. What happened? I don't know, I sleep like a rock...anyhow. I'd love some help gathering materials, the town's metal has run dry for a while now. And maybe some wood while you're at it.
He asks for you to retrieve the following:
Next: Retrieve the materials and bring them to Thrain
“Fantastic! I'll fix the old forge up quick as I can. Here, take this sword. It's a test I made right before the attack. I'd like for you to test it on some zombies; those buggers are awful to deal with. If you'd be so kind, I'd also enjoy some more materials. Then I think we can get the Iron Anvil truly back to her feet!”
He asks for:
Next: Kill 15 Zombies
Next: Return to Thrain with the materials
“It almost brings a tear to the eye. The Iron Forge is almost ready for work! Here, this is a lesson I've got from my history in battle: Sometimes, you gotta go crazy. Just be careful! And come back whenever you wish - you've been a great help!”
“Forged in steel, I am. Care to buy some?”
“Sometimes, I miss the caverns. Rock and stone, brother, rock and stone."
“Nothing quite like a blade that cuts through bone like air. Makes sandwiches easy!"
“I could easily beat you in an arm wrestle - the exercise of steel forging is effective.”

After receiving the Quest from the Old Man:
“Hello there, traveler!...what do you say? A man referred me to you? Hm...I recall a man, cloaked in red, come around here...some time ago. Can't tell you how long ago now, but a while. He came asking for some specific things...a book of evil, two candles, and a bar of evil. He said something about throwing evil powder on a book...but...that's all I can say. Not sure what the guy was on about.”
After talking to Alaric:
“Oh. So it is. Here...I've been preparing for a day like this, hopefully it's up to your standard. Alaric helped with this, it holds the memories of my battles. Enjoy. Good luck.”
