The Lonesome Watcher

Objectives
Recover Frostgrip's Signet Ring from an Iron Dwarf Monitor and then bring it to Creteus in the Foot Steppes.
 * Frostgrip's Signet Ring

Description
I never found the core... but I've often spoken to the keeper Creteus, and his omissions give him away. You'll find Creteus over the mountains to the east, in the Foot Steppes, keeping watch on the Engine of the Makers. The core might well be in there, but you'll need to win Creteus's favor.

The iron dwarves were here looking for something... it might well be the core. They took my ring. Find their leader, get the ring back, and show it to Creteus so that he knows I sent you.

Progress
Hello,.

I am pleased that you have opted to utilize your tongue over your blade when making my acquaintance. I have found that a more and more rare quality among your kind of late.

Completion
Drom's ring? I am to assume Drom is not well if he did not introduce you directly. I am sorry to hear of that. Drom is a noble dwarf, if an inquisitive one.

On what business have you come then?
