Grularz and her research journal

I discovered a research journal kept by an Orc named Grularz in Crestshade Mine. She was apparently studying the trolls until they decided to kill her. The journal referred to a brother named Gothurg in Shornhelm.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Venture into the Crestshade Mine and read the research notes on the behavior of trolls.
2. Bring the notes to Gothurg in Shornhelm.

Detailed Walkthrough

While in the mine, you can find a journal next to the body of an Orc woman.

Entry One: It worked! By mimicking troll behavior and mannerisms, I seem to have gained the trust of the trolls in Crestshade Mine. Though I'm still keeping a healthy distance, the trolls have seen me and have not attacked.

Entry Two: I've made great progress in my interaction with the trolls. I've moved deeper into the mine to better observe them and I can now walk freely among them. I was right. Trolls can be socialized. We might one day live in harmony with them.

<Continue Reading.>

Final Entry: I finally won the confidence of the troll patriarch, Grimtooth. My work here is done. I wish you could have been here, Gothurg, but I'll see you soon in Shornhelm. I'm going to give Grimtooth a hug goodbye and then I'm on my way.

I should return this journal to Gothurg in Shornhelm.

With the journal in hand, head to Shornhelm and look for Gothurg. He can be found at the woodworking area, Hammer & Saw Carpentry. You can speak with him and tell him the sad news, but it appears that he already suspected something had happened to his sister.

"Join me for a cup of mead. A toast to those we've lost. My parents to death and my sister to her crazy dreams.
We're all going to go sometime. We might as well have a drink or two before it happens."

I found this research journal in Crestshade Mine.

"That's my sister's journal. So sweet but so young and foolish. She was obsessed with the idea that trolls could be socialized.
I knew this day would eventually come. I think it's time for another cup of mead. Thanks."

You will receive Grulaz's staff, Troll Friend, and some gold as a reward.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
