The Master of Casting

All three master blacksmiths took great pride in their work. One day, they competed to settle the question of who among them was the best. The head honcho. The king of kings. You get the idea... In the end, Mevo Muranan rose victorious and claimed the title of finest blacksmith in the land. Personally, I reckon Dorin should have won. Guy took it real bad, losing to Mevo Muranan like that... It disheartened him so much that he just upped and left Altinova. No prior notice, handwritten notes, or anything. No one even knows where he ran off to, but if anyone can track him down, I bet it's an adventurer like you! I have a favor to ask, and I think you know what it already is. I just gotta find Dorin and show him my work... Maybe even become his apprentice! I haven't the foggiest where he might be, but I reckon Mevo Muranan might have an idea.

It would be an honor if he were to accept me as his apprentice. Talk to Mevo. He might give you a lead on where you might find Dorin.

Dorin Morgrim? Why are you wasting your time on that has been. He's worse than Barattan Lancer.... And that's saying something! You wish to make a name for sloppy craftsmanship? Well then... I guess you're on the right track.
