You're pretty little
yet when you first arrive here so there are some things you should consider
doing before tackling anything beyond this city.
|
|
Namely train first. We ran
out of money at first and I needed 65 more gold to train my last character
to level 3. I peeked down the well and noticed a chain running into its
depths. I figured why not take a look. We found two money sacks containing
67 gold. Not much but just enough to suit out needs.
|

|
Naturally you will want to speak
to the Jarl and get all that out of the way. Go ahead and accept all his
quests, even the secondary one as you will need to talk to Kira the Cold
in Thronheim anyway. Clean off the Town Portal Stone there in the Palace
foyer and then go nose about town.
|
|
|
Pop in and visit Ludwig Van (1).
Apparently the master has given up composing in lieu of writing.
He tells you he dropped his manuscript down his Beet Hoven and would like
to have it back. There are 4 entrances to Beet Hoven around the city including
one in Ludwig's pantry. The one in his pantry does not have a way back
out so it might be best to look about town a bit more before dropping into
this sewer like area.

|
Kill a Dragon
Once all that is out of the way wander up to the Tavern. The bartender
entices you with tales of dragons and this actually puts a Quest on the
book to kill the dragon. Not to worry, it ain't happening any time soon
and there are a couple more steps to take along the way. He tells you to
seek out Snorri the Fist in Thjorgard, probably tipping a cold one.
|
|
|
Find the Spy
Bjarni Herjolfssen in the Tavern also wants you to perform a quest
for him. This one can be done immediately and is very quick, easy, and
safe. Some one has been sabotaging Strumford's Defenses and he needs to
know who this spy is. All you need to do is go to the Town Hall and speak
to the man right there in the foyer. He cuts his own throat with whatever
he says so just let him hang himself. He will run and portal away. You know
all you need so return to Bjarni for your reward.

Gossip
After visiting Dragheim you may have a secondary quest from the Jarl
Sirmund the Stressed. He wants you to find out who is spreading disturbing
gossip. After speaking to Greudach A'Dorad in Drangheim City you learn
that her "news" came from one Marsaili A'Lanth here in Strumford City. Sigmund
wants you to ask this person to cease and desist and if not return to him
and tell him who is behind it all.
|
|
|
Well Marsaili hangs out near the
Oord house (2) and the Town Hall area and she more or less scoffs at you
when you confront her. Ah well too bad. If you return to Sigmund and reveal
her identity it might be worth a trip back to speak to her again. She doesn't
have a whole lot more to say.... ever.

Paladin Promotion
Speak to Fridlief Gjukissen upstairs in the Town Hall and ask him if
they've been having any trouble with thefts lately. He tells you they
have and asks if you will look into it. Now do not get confused here,
remember Grehgknak the Right in the Lindisfarne Monastery charged you
with this crusade and he is the one you need to report back to ultimately.
|
|
|
First thing is to head on over to
the house (2) where Papa is missing from. You can speak to his children and
read the note he left for them on the table downstairs. All this tells you
just who it is you are looking for, Hatlati Oord.
|
|
|
Hatlati tends to wander about on
the Temple grounds and along the street by the Armor, Weapon, and Magic
Shops. He can also be found in the Magic Shop at times. Confront him and
tell him you have been watching him and that he is under arrest. Then walk
to the Town Hall and tell the Guard downstairs you have a prisoner. He
opens the cell door and Hatlati goes in meekly. (Be sure to take always
run off for this since he's an old fella and has trouble keeping up.)
|
|
|
Now that you have damned the family
you need to save them. Go back to his home and speak with the eldest son,
Itlor who is upstairs. Suggest he get a job which he is open to. Naturally
you need to find a job for him. May I recommend the Magic Shop? I think she
needs some help there. Once she agrees to hire Itlor return to him and tell
him the good news. (See Thjorgard City Walkthru for details on the other
half of the Quest.)
|
|
|
Now this quest tends to push a few
panic buttons. First of all once you find Itlor his job and tell him about
it the customary "ding" of quest completion does not always sound and the
"Find Itlor a job" entry in your quest book remains. Well, after
doing this thing over and over again I got fed up with it and took the
first ship I could get to Lindisfarne. When we spoke to Grehgknak the Right
all was well. The promotion went through and the quest book entry cleared.
|

|
Bring Peace
After the coalition is formed Strumford and Drangheim go to war. The reasons
each Jarl gives is some action you took. Now don't you feel like a heel?
Well there's no time for self pity, be confident, be honest, and convince
him to sign a peace treaty. Once he agrees talk to Sigmund in Drangheim.
(If you have already spoken to Sigmund head back to Thronheim City and ask
Kira to draw up the treaty.)
