road, and southern road.

1 - Sigfinnur 5 - Gudmundr, the weaponsmith

2 - Askel, the wise 6 - Chieftain's House

Step 1: Speak with Sigfinnur. Sigfinnur's shop is located on the Main Street.

He will ask you if you will accept a task, nod or say yes, and he will give

you a shepard's pie.

Step 2: Take the pie to Yngyar. Yngyar's house is on the Southern Road. He

will take the pie and in return give you a lantern. You must take this lantern

to Gibly.

Step 3: Head to the east gate, and continue to the forest entrance. Then

follow the path southeast twice, south, then southeast twice. From there, go

northeast to find Gibly. Hand him the lantern and he will reveal a path into

the lake.

Step 4: Enter the 'lake' and begin the journey to slay Melusine. From the

entrance to the lake, head northwest once, then north, northeast once, then

north, northwest, and lastly west. There will be enemies along the way, but

they can be killed quickly enough. Head south, then down to the second level.

On the second level, head southeast, south twice, then east. From here,

Melusine's lair is down. Defeating her will yield a scale. You can return to

the surface the same way you came.

Step 5: Take the scale to Yngvar, the same one who gave you the lantern (he is

on the southern road). He will give you a white fur cloak. It should be noted,

that the cloak may be kept to continue the quest at another time. All of the

other items will disappear if the person holding them leaves the realms.

Step 6: Take the cloak to Sverrir, the decrepit. He moves around the town, but

should be easy to find. Give him the cloak, and he will give you a dented

metal disk.

Step 7: Take the dented disk to Ljufa, in the Hemskoen Hiet. Ljufa will give

you a drinking horn and a mug of ale. Take the mug back to Sverrir. The

drinking horn must go to Askel, the wise. Once you give him the horn, he will

give you a small pungent pouch.

Step 8: Take the pouch and head back toward the lake. Go as far southeast as

you can, then continue eastward until a path opens up to the southeast. This

opens up to a narrow path, follow the winding path up. At the top stands a

goblin, Kretcher. Give him the pouch and he will open up the ice to allow you

to enter the tower. Make sure you are prepared for battle before entering the

'ice'.

Step 9: On the first level, head east, southeast, south twice, southwest, and

then west. Enter the crack in the 'ice'. Now you must navigate the second

level of the tower.

Head up, southwest, northwest, northeast twice, southeast, then enter the

crack in the 'ice'. Up from here is the evil Wizard Alrekr. Defeat him to

obtain the Wizard's Hat. Exit the tower the same way you came.

Step 10: Bring the Wizard's hat to Askel, the wise. He will give you a sealed

note to take to Havardr. Havardr is on the Northern Road.

Step 11: Give Havardr the note, and he will give you a sealed scroll. Take the

sealed scroll to Gudmundr, the weaponsmith. He will give you a round circular

stone.

Step 12: Go to the east gates of the Village and go three paces northeast,

then all the way east until you come to a stop. Here, put the stone in the

'niche' and wait for the lever to appear. Pull the lever to activate a shaft

of 'light' that you can enter for the final journey to the Dragon.

Step 13: Once inside, move north and east, always following the path in that

direction. At one point the path will turn southeast, follow that for one

pace, then move west. From there, make sure you are flying to head up and

enter the 'ice' to find the ancient white wyrm, Hemosken. The dragon is very

difficult to defeat, but when defeated will yield its scale.

Step 14: From the dragon's lair, enter the portal to return to the center of

the village. From there, head to the Chieftain's house. The Chieftain will ask

whether you want a weapon or a medallion. Speak which, and the reward is

yours.
