Dennic is located in Kobold Undercity near trainers at Loc 26726, 21943.

Dennic says, "Hello there! I wonder if you've been out to the [Abandoned Mines]?"

Dennic says, "Not so abandoned, I'd say. What an infestation of [half-orcs]! It's quite a problem, because we need access to the rock and the ore from the mines to build up our defenses against the invaders."

Dennic says, "Do you know much about our history with the half-orcs? Don't tell anyone I said this, but I think we deserve their antagonism. Quite a while ago a half-orc named [Oswalt] showed up at the city with a hundred of his best warriors." Dennic says, "He wanted to offer us the services of his mercenaries in exchange for helping him defend his territory. He also wanted to be paid in gold, food and more land. Pretty one-sided offer, eh? Odagi was the kobold who met with Oswalt, and he [agreed] to the terms."

Dennic says, "Odagi actually didn't ever have any intentions of honoring the agreement though. We needed the half-orcs to help clear out the Abandoned Mines so we could get the rock we needed to build the wall. Odagi hoped that the half-orcs would be [so stupid] that they'd clear out the mines as much as possible and then be wiped out themselves so we wouldn't have to give them anything."

Dennic says, "Oswalt and his mercenaries, the Bloody Axe Warriors, took heavy losses in the fighting, but were eventually successful in clearing and maintaining a safe pathway from the Mines to the Undercity. There started to be some [disagreements] among the half-orcs though, between the warriors and the magic users mainly."

Dennic says, "One group of half-orcs broke off from the main group, calling themselves the 'Broken Tusk Mercenaries.' They claimed Oswalt had [broken a tusk] by biting off more than he could chew."

Dennic says, "The Broken Tusks laughed when Oswalt returned to the Undercity and Odagi refused to pay. So now the two half-orc clans have sworn a [blood feud] against each other and also against us."

Dennic says, "It is actually helpful to us to have them warring amongst themselves instead of coming after us, and we try to [encourage that behavior]."

You have been given the Fanning the Flames (Midgard) quest. [Level 26-28]

Dennic says, "All you need to do is go to the Mines and kill one broken tusk shaman and one bloody axe regular. Try not to make it obvious that it was a kobold that did the killing. They're so suspicious of each other they are quick to place the blame among themselves. Return here when you've killed one half-orc from each faction. Be careful though, sometimes it's hard to find the half-orcs alone, so you might want to bring a friend."

Dennic says, "Good work. We've already received reports that the half-orcs are [all stirred up] and fighting amongst themselves. This is exactly what we needed."

Dennic says, "Please accept this small token of our thanks. May your weapons be sharp and your path well lit."
