Description

If my suspicions are correct, this is some type of explosive powder. This must be analyzed by an explosives expert so we know just what we're dealing with here. Ashlan Stonesmirk was assigned to the regiment guarding Dun Modr and the Thandol Span. I need you to make a grave and perilous journey, your name.

Travel through the Algaz Gate, follow the road through the Wetlands and seek out Stonesmirk in Dun Modr. Heed my advice: stick to the roads and stop for nothing!

You say somethin', sonny/missy? Can't hear a bloody thing besides the ringin' in me ears. Say, what's that you got there?

Completion

Ah, well Ol' Hinderweir is wise to be worried.
