The Strength of Iron

The Strength of Iron starts the profession quest line for blacksmiths to unlock 700 skill and The Forge for your garrison.

Deliver the satchel to Haephest.

• Haephest's Satchel (provided)

A stitched patch along the side of the satchel clearly identifies its owner.

You remember hearing stories of a great blacksmith just north of Embaari.

You will receive:

• 13,690 XP
• +250 reputation with Council of Exarchs

This... this is my satchel... but how?

Did you see a boy - a young boy near this? You must tell me where you found it!

I tried to fight them, but the looters... they were too strong! They almost killed me!

Please, please....

I'd give anything to have my only son back! I cannot fail him....

Haephest is right in town, not north as the quest says. Just follow the quest marker.
