Cerene looks up in surprise and blinks at you.

Cerene says, "Oh, you startled me, (your class)! I was so wrapped up in these scrolls and notes that I didn't see you standing there. I guess I should really pay more attention to what's going on around me out here in this [dangerous place]."

Cerene says, "These Frontlines are dangerous, but the lands and city beyond these are even more so. But you know that city, called Nyttheim by its founders, was not always the evil place that it is now. But I am so rude; I should [introduce myself] before I bombard you with history!"

Cerene says, "I am Cerene, a lore mistress from the Undercity. When all the trouble began, I sought to find out what I could of the second Kobold city, the one that has been lost to us for so long. As those from the surface have come down here to help us, I have found allies to help me with my studies. Leria, a runemistress from Jordheim, and my good friend Myrtai have been helping me [uncover the story] of Nyttheim."

Cerene says, "Our history shows that long ago, after our founder Hallvaror built the great Undercity, a group of Kobolds led by Astrior left the Undercity for new depths. They created their own city below and called it Nyttheim. They isolated themselves from the Undercity residents and over time [contact was lost]."

Cerene says, "Because that contact was lost, we've been forced [to speculate] about what happened down there in Nyttheim that turned our former brothers and sisters into the twisted, agony-filled creatures they are today. It breaks my heart to see those Kobolds in such a state. "

Cerene says, "We know some evil force has taken hold of them, and have located some references to a creature called 'Gullveig'. But where this Gullveig comes from and what its purpose is remains a mystery to us. Hopefully soon we will be able to solve that mystery and help [restore these Kobolds] to normal."

Cerene says, "That is my goal - to break through the possession that holds them. That is why I have traveled here to this outpost, so I can be closer to them and study them. But I have not come here alone. Oh no, I am not brave enough to travel across this battlefield [unprotected]."

Cerene says, "I have hired a valiant shadowblade by the name of Eronld to help me. Eronld has acted as my guide, protector and recently he has taken an interest in aiding me in my research. But I fear his interest has led him [into trouble]."

Cerene says, "I recently asked Eronld to venture into Nyttheim to study some of the possessed for me. Unfortunately he seems to have disappeared. I'd go in there to look for him myself, but I think I would probably disappear even faster than he did. (your class), I was wondering, would you go into the depths of Nyttheim and [look for Eronld]? I will make sure you are well compensated for your help."

"Will you help Cerene and look for Eronld in Nyttheim?" [Level 39]
You have been given the Nyttheim Rescue (Midgard) quest.


[Step #1] Speak with Cerene to learn what you must do to help her find Eronld.

Cerene says, "I cannot express my gratitude enough, (your class). Now, listen carefully as I tell you what I know of Eronld's [last location]."

Cerene says, "On a previous trip into that terrible city, Eronld was able to uncover a few pages of a journal for me. The entries spoke of how the evil spread slowly through the city rather than crashing over them all at once. That's probably how it ended up being so successful. By the time anyone realized what was going on it was probably too late. I asked Eronld to go back into Nyttheim to try to find me [more journal] pages."

Cerene says, "I was hoping that I could learn even more about this evil force, Gullveig, so that we can find a cure for the possession. I asked Eronld to go back to where he had found those first few pages and search again. Of course he agreed and set off immediately. I think that little shadowblade loves a good adventure! Anyway, that was the [last time] I saw him in person."

Cerene says, "I did receive word from him the other day. Apparently he encountered one of our raiding parties as they were making their way through Nyttheim to return to this outpost. He stopped them and asked them to pass on [a message] to me if they could."

Cerene says, "His message said that he had found a few more pages, which he knew I would be excited about. He also said that he thought there were more pages in the possession of a possessed Kobold that the others called Benzar. He was planning on following Benzar to see if he could retrieve the pages. I fear this [Benzar caught] Eronld and has taken him captive or possibly even...killed him."

Cerene says, "I need to know what happened to Eronld, (your class). The research is secondary at this point. Please, go into Nyttheim and go to the entrance to the main cavern. From there, head west nearly the entire way across the cavern. That is where Eronld said that Benzar was. I must warn you, (your class), you should [not go alone]!"

Cerene says, "The evil city is dangerous and I fear you will be overwhelmed by the creatures in there. I also fear that Benzar will put up a fight. I don't want his death, but if that is what you must do to find Eronld, so be it. If you have a friend or two that will go with you, take them. I will reward them too if they speak to me and agree to help find Eronld. Go now and find my employee and friend."

[Step #2] Go into Nyttheim and seek out Benzar. Go to the entrance to the main cavern, then head west across nearly the entire cavecrn. He will be near a wall.
  • Go to Nyttheim and look for benzar around middle of the main cavern (actually), approx loc=23k,23k and kill him. (Note: It has been mentioned that there is another path here, where you may be sent to kill Viedyn (loc=23800, 21000) or sent to kill Sesur (loc=25752, 21392)instead of Benzar.)


  • You manage to wrestle a tattered piece of scroll out of Benzar's hand.
    Benzar dies!

    [Step #3] Read Eronld's Journal Page to learn of his fate.
  • /use the journal


  • You attempt to use Eronld's Journal Page.
    Eronld's Journal Page doesn't seem to do anything.
    The Eronld's Journal Page reads, "I cannot believe I was caught by Benzar! How embarrassing. Hopefully Cerene, you will forgive me for this blunder. If I make it out of this alive, I will work even harder to make it up to you. Benzar has dragged me to the southwest and around the corner from where he caught me to Migan. I fear they will take this journal fr-"

    [Step #4] Using Eronld's Journal as a guide, find Migan and his hounds. All must be dead to free Eronld from his imprisonment.
  • Go to loc 20000,25600 and kill migan & his 2 doggies.


  • With a shriek of anguish and fury, Migan dies! Eronld slowly comes out of hiding.
    Migan dies!

    [Step #5] Speak with Eronld. If he isn't visible, it means Migan has recaptured him. You will have to defeat Migan and his hounds again to release Eronld again.

    Eronld says, "Well, (your class), that was some fine work you did there! I was beginning to give up hope that someone would come rescue me. I figured that Cerene would find someone to look for me; she's such a good person. I'm guessing she wants you to [bring me back] to her, eh?"

    Eronld says, "I'd love for you to do that, (your class), but I have other plans. I will go back to Cerene myself and assure her that I am healthy and that you have done your job. More importantly, I will take the notes I was able to hide away from Migan to Cerene. I think they hold the key that will unlock the possession on these poor creatures, but only Cerene can tell me that. I have something else I [need you] to do."

    Eronld says, "These notes are so important that I feel that a copy must be taken to Leria and Myrtai in the Undercity as soon as possible. I know you are very busy, so I won't ask you to make that long trek back. Instead, I need you to continue on to the Underground Forest. At the outpost there, find my friend Issoja. Give her these scrolls and tell her to take them to Leria and she will do it. I cannot thank you enough for helping me, (your class). Now go!"

    You receive Eronld's Notes from Eronld!

    [Step #6] Travel to the northwestern corner of the Underground Forest. Speak to Issoja. From Eronld, travel east untill the north wall ends, then go north. Look for a passage to the west & take it.
  • go to Underground Forest camp and talk to Issoja (loc=15000,14700).


  • Issoja says, "Yes, (your class)? What might I do for you?"

    [Step #7] Give Eronld's Notes to Issoja.

    Issoja says, "Oh, I recognize this handwriting. Eronld gave these pages to you, didn't he? But why would he want you to give them to me?"

    Issoja glances at the pages in her hand.

    [Step #8] Tell Issoja that Eronld wanted her to take the notes to [Leria].

    /whisper Leria

    Issoja says, "I am so silly! I should have realized that he would want me to get these to Leria and Myrtai in the Undercity. I will do that in a minute, but first I have [something else] I must do."

    Issoja says, "Why, give you your reward, (your class)! Did you think that Cerene and Eronld would neglect you after the work you've done for them? Eronld writes in here how you helped to free him from Migan. I have heard of Migan, (your class), and I am impressed. He is a tough opponent and you were very brave for facing him. Now, let's see what I [have for you]."

    [Step #9] Speak to Issoja to receive your reward.

    Issoja says, "Here you go, (your class). I think you shall find this useful as you continue on your adventure through this strange underground world. Now, if you will excuse me, I must prepare to teleport back to the Undercity with these. Be safe, (your class)!"

    You receive the Rescuer's Bracelet from Issoja!
    You are awarded 255,000,000 experience!
    You are awarded 5 gold and some silver!
