Step 1: Return to Your Sibling
- Head to Stonecrown to speak to your Sibling.
Sibling: You got the sword! You are indeed an absolute legend! My own sibling, raised in a shoe but kicking arse.
Now your biggest challenge awaits. Do you think you have what it takes to kill that foul creature?
Well, I suppose you don’t even know where it hides and seethes its poison? I have got you covered.
There is a rhyme I discovered on my travels...
“In the Toughwood very dark, You will find the hatred heart. Wear a charm of Hyalite, And in a storm you’ll find your fight. Thrust the blade of dark so deep And love and hope the land shall keep.”
Sooo, it seems that you need this Hyalite forged into a charm. Good thing you have me, eh?
I got a smith to forge the charm for you using that weird ore I found. Hardest metal they ever worked with. It’ll cost you a hug. Just kidding. It’s yours.
Take it and your sword and go free this land of hatred. You better beat it. I don’t want to be crying over your lazybones.
- Item Received: Hyalite Charm

Step 3: Sibling’s Congratulations
Return to Stonecrown to speak with your Sibling one last time.
Sibling: My hero! You did it! You slew the creature of hate, and now there is no more hatred in the land.
You are a true legend, and I am so proud of you right now. Teamwork makes the dream work though, so I hope I get my name in the history books.
Oh, glorious day! Go see those Grandmasters forthwith! Hurray!

Step 4: Visit the Grandmasters
- Enter the Grandmasters tomb.
The Wright: You are truly the one. You have passed my trial and freed the land of hatred.
We see a great future for you. Never before have we felt such a force of nature.
We now sleep, content in our tombs, knowing the land has a guardian.
Whatever you choose to do next is up to you. Tie up loose ends, chase untold wealth, or bask in adoration.
Rest well, Legend. Take this prize: the **Hammer of the Ancients** — it will improve your smithing skills. Perhaps, one day, you’ll be as good as me.
