The Rampant Conviction of Hope

Quest Giver:

Greetings. I've received Ranger Madaki's instructions about these Corrupted weapons, and have set my efforts to stopping their production. To that end, I've compiled reports to track the many items which have recently passed through the valley below. It is safe to assume that most, if not all, are related to the creation of this Hammer. I've organized them into a list for you, to aid you in your endeavor.

I shall continue my efforts to stop the Corrupted here. I leave the rest in your capable hands. Best of luck.

Progress:

I strongly advise caution, friend. Be watchful, stick to the shadows, and do your best to remain hidden. This tactic has served me well over the years, and it may serve you too if you embrace it.

These Corrupted do not always pay attention as closely as they should, and you may be able to slip past them in places, avoiding confrontation.

Finish:

Didn't get too lost out there, I hope? Knatchbull is a quiet one, but he's good at staying hidden. That's why they put him in an outpost, no one could find him when he was out in the wilds!

Let's take a look at what you brought me, hm? Oh, yes... these will do nicely for what's needed. Wait here.

...

Now this is a fine piece of work. See how it lights up as soon as you touch it? That's the azoth inside, to fight against the Corruption. This Hammer needs a name. Hm... I've got it. The Rampant Conviction of Hope.

And now, it is yours. Take it, and crack some Corrupted heads open, show them we won't be pushed around any longer.
