The Lost Archives

Stolgaz Keep? now there's a name that stirs the embers of old pride and fresh grief.

Once a proud bastion of the Wildhammer, the Keep held a critical position in the defense of the Grim Reaches. But that was before the Dragonmaw Orcs overran it. It has stood in enemy hands for years now?bastardized, defiled, but still standing.

What truly pains me isn't just the loss of the fortress? it's what was inside. The Keep housed some of our most precious historical records. Lineages, royal decrees, journals of heroes long gone?entire volumes chronicling the rise of our people.

Now, I doubt the Dragonmaw have the wit or care to destroy books. They likely don't even realize what they've taken. If you manage to reach the inner halls of Stolgaz, keep your eyes open. Any volume you retrieve could restore a piece of our history.

You do that, and I'll make sure you're well compensated.

Did you make it to Stolgaz? Any sign of the archives?

<Sorgan's eyes widen as he takes the worn tomes into his hands, brushing centuries of dust from the covers.>

By the Makers? I never thought I'd see this again. This one?Baggoth's Testament! It's a first-hand account of the siege of Firewatch Ridge! Incredible!

You've done more than fetch books, <race>. You've helped restore the soul of our people. I'll be poring over these for days.

Who knows what secrets of the past we'll rediscover?
