You say, "What liquid velium?"
Grimthor Brewbeard says, "Collect a small piece of velium and a bottle of rubbing alcohol and brew them together in a barrel. It ain't easy, but it should prove to be a minor task for the likes of you."

[Give: Talem Tucter: Velium Etched Rune]
Talem Tucter says, "I’ve heard of your mission, Verdandi. I must admit that I had my doubts you’d make it this far. The rune’s creation is nearly impossible for even the most skilled of Coldain craftsmen. You should be exceedingly proud. Many have attempted this feat and nearly all have lacked the skill, faith, patience and persistence that is prerequisite for what destiny holds in store for you. You are now ready to use this pattern to construct the sacred rune’s casing and complete the runed shawl."
[Receive: Casing Pattern & Velium Etched Rune]

You say, "What casing?"
Talem Tucter says, "Combine two platinum bars, a small piece of velium and the casing pattern in a Jeweler’s kit. Take the completed casing and the rune and combine them in the same kit. When this is done all that’s left is to tailor the rune to the shawl with the pattern. Take the finished product to Borannin, I’m sure he’s eager to speak with you."

[Give: Loremaster Borannin: Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl]
Loremaster Borannin says, "Incredible! Never before has an outlander been skilled and determined enough to craft our sacred rune. You are now worthy of the Dain’s most perilous tasks. One is being prepared for you as we speak, please check back with me soon and I will outline the details for you. Until then, Verdandi, allow me to commend you on a job well done!"

Detailed Instructions

Skill Info

Brewing: Ahhh, near and dear to my heart, my very first trade skill! Brewing is quite simple. There are no portable containers, you must use the brew barrels located in or around pubs in cities. You get the ingredients for your recipe, put the required amount of each into the brew barrel, and combine. Some recipes require foraged items, but it is possible to go all the way through brewing strictly on store bought ingredients. Just check your Recipes and Trivials and Supply Locations and have at it.

Note that there are a few varieties of liquids that can be brewed. The originals are the alcoholic brews. These must be placed in a main inventory slot and right clicked to drink. They are intoxicating and will affect your stats, your speech, and your vision. Drinking them will build your alcohol intolerance, which moderates their effects. Then there are the non-alcoholic drinks. Some of these will be automatically imbibed and fill your need for drink just like water or milk do. Others of the non-alcoholic brews cannot be drunk and are instead used in tailoring, smithing, or quests. For most of these it's a good thing that they cannot be drunk. Look at the ingredients that go into them and you'll see what I mean. Ick.

Fletching: Fletching is one of the easiest skills to raise because it's relatively cheap and you can go from 0 to over 200 in front of a single vendor. There are two purposes to fletching: making bows and making arrows. Bows are much more difficult and expensive and totally unnecessary to skill for the shawl, so don't worry about them. Look at the Fletching Supplies page for a vendor that has "arrowheads (3), shafts (4), fletch (3), vane (3), groove nock (3)" and a fletching kit. Be careful, as many vendors have all of the components but no kit. For which recipes to use, many recommend Aoenla's Guide to Raising your Fletching Skill. Basically, there are four parts to an arrow: point, fletch, shaft, and nock. Don't be confused by vanes, they are just another kind of fletch. You just put one of each of the four ingredients into your kit and combine them, to make a batch of arrows. Each of the four components come in varying qualities. The higher quality (and therefore more expensive) the components, the better the arrow will be. The progression of trivials is messier than in some skills because there are so many variables, so just watch your charts.

Jewelcraft: Yes, the much maligned jewelcraft. It's more expensive than many skills, but not as bad as some might claim. I went from 0 to 185 in about 2.5kpp. Everything you need for shawl skill can be found on merchants in many cities, although most ingredients are also drops. Only the few most valuable gems are available as drops only. There are two basic kinds of jewelry merchants and they are usually found right next to each other in the jewelry shop or casters guild of a city. See the Jewelcraft Supplies page for specifics. Typically one vendor has 18 gems starting with malachite, the cheapest and easiest, and running up through rubies. These are the ones you will want to focus on while practicing. All of these also drop from various mobs throughout Norrath. The other standard vendor has the very important Jeweler's Kit and the four old world metals: silver, electrum, gold, and platinum. I believe one or more of these metals are also extremely rare drops off of the muddites in Beholder. In a few levels of hunting there I got one electrum bar once, so either they very rarely drop or someone was being silly and fed it to the muddie. Either way, it is definitely not an adequate way to acquire your metal for our purposes here. The jewelry merchant in Thurgadin is the only source of velium bars for jewelcraft, but you won't have to go anywhere near that stuff for the shawl quest.

To actually make jewelry, all you do is put one bar of your chosen metal and one of your chosen gems in the Jeweler's Kit and combine them. In order to make jewelry with stats, you must first have an enchanter magically enchant the metal via their line of spells for that purpose. Jewelry that is made with plain metal that has not been enchanted has absolutely no stats and is only worth anything to a vendor, who will usually pay just a smidgen less than the ingredients. If you use enchanted metal, the vendor will give you back a smidgen more than the cost of the ingredients. However, given the time involved in enchanting even a single stack of metal, the mind-boggling number of stacks of metal you'll be using, and the meditation time required to keep regaining enough mana to do the enchanting, you'll almost certainly want to stick to unenchanted metal for practicing. You could regain the money lost more quickly by spending that time hunting rats. This is, of course, assuming that you do not intend to sell your successes to players, as I suspect most shawl jewelers do not.

The jewelry kit has four slots but you will never have more than two ingredients, at least not for existing recipes. Items get progressively harder by the metal you are working with. Within the recipes for a metal, they also get progressively harder by the gem. Silver is the easiest metal, then electrum, gold, platinum, and velium, in that order. Gems increase in difficulty according to the price of the gem. So, the cheapest gem (malachite) plus the cheapest metal (silver) is the easiest thing you can make. The most expensive gem (blue diamond, not sold on vendors) plus the cheapest metal (silver) is only slightly easier than the cheapest gem (malachite) plus the next metal (electrum). If I've confused you, see the Jewelcraft Trivial Chart for a more obvious visual display. You will probably also want to print this chart to refer to while working, as it is one of the best available for printing purposes.

Just in case you're wondering, Imbued Jewelry works along the same principles as regular jewelry except that only certain gems can be used. Each Norrathian diety (excepting Veeshan) has a specific gem which can be imbued by one of their followers of the right class, and which then gives unique stats. As it is more complicated than regular jewelcraft and does not fill any particular gap in trivials, however, you won't need to deal with it for the purposes of the shawl.

Item and Recipe Details

Runed Sea Shell: The shell that you need only drops off of sirens in Siren's Grotto and has one charge of Enduring Breath. There is a necklace that drops in Cobalt Scar and maybe also in SG that has multiple charges of EB, but it will not work. Likewise there is a shell also called a Runed Sea Shell that drops in CS that has charges of Cloud. That also will not work. You need the item called a Runed Sea Shell that has one charge of Enduring Breath and can only be found in Siren's Grotto. They are not no drop, so buying them might be a good option if you can afford it and cannot get a group sufficient to tackle the sirens in SG. They're not easy. Because I was given my shell, I did not have to fight the sirens so I cannot give any firsthand info on how to find and fight them. I do know that they are at the bottom of the well and cannot be pulled out of the water to the area above the well. You must go down to them to fight them, although I believe it is possible for a sufficiently high level person to single pull them away from their spawn locations. They are tough and the shell is a somewhat rare drop. If you have trouble getting one to drop or getting a group together to attempt them, try auctioning in the zone. At least they have no use outside this quest, so you have a reasonable chance of getting one from others in the zone who get one and don't need it. Once you have your shell and are ready to attempt the first combine, be aware that the trivial is very low so it is unlikely to fail...but the possibility is there. This was so reliable that it was thought to be unfailable until a very recent report that it had in fact failed on someone. 

Etched Rune Pattern or How do I use this infernal Prayer to Brell?? First, go to the Temple of Lore and stand facing the stage. See how there are steps on either side of the stage that lead up to it? Go stand in the area to the left of the stage at the base of the steps on that side. Then recite the prayer that Trademaster Kroven gave to you. Make sure you are saying it in /say and without any misspellings and that you do not have anyone targeted. Don't put it into a hotkey on the five different lines, it must be typed out all in one big long shot. You will get the message "You have been inspired!" and the pattern will appear on the ground in front of the stage...NOT at your feet . There are reports that it is on a timer, so it is possible that you might do everything right and still not get inspired if someone has done it within 45 minutes or so. Try coming back later. Note also that there seems to be a problem getting the pattern to appear if the Grand Historian Thoridain is not in his usual spot on the stage. If he is out of place you may need to petition for him to be escorted back before Brell will see fit to provide you with the pattern. For reference, since you can't read the prayer scroll and type it at the same time, the prayer is:
"Oh Brell, Thank you for protecting me and seeing me through my trials. Forgive me for the things I think and say and do that displease you. Please reveal to me your will and bless me with the patience and obedience to do that which you desire. Amen."

Swordfish Tooth: These only drop from the swordfish in Siren's Grotto. They are found in a few different places, but are often in the company of the seahorses. Seahorses are are quite a handful because of their nasty stuns, so I recommend going for the spawns up top where it is possible to single pull one swordfish. Using invis, from the West Wastes zone follow the tunnel turning right when it branches. When you reach the open area, hug the right wall and move up to the edge of the water. The little corner of land against the wall next to the water is reported to be a safe spot if you sit all the way back. We only found one swordfish there but I do not know for sure whether there are ever more than that, so plan accordingly. You'll probably have to move out into the middle of the pool to get close enough to pull, so make sure your puller is careful to watch the wanderers that come near the water out there. Also while pulling and fighting, be careful not to get too close to the two static spawns on the far side of the pool opposite our little ledge. My group of three 54+ took out the fish but it was a tough fight. We fought on the underwater ledge at the base of the little waterfall, but tried to stay away from the far side of it to avoid agroing the static spawns just across the water. The tooth does not drop every time, but they are reasonably common.

Ulthork Tusk: Ulthorks are found in East Wastes and in Siren's Grotto. The tusks are tradeable but valuable because they can also be turned in to one of the Othmir in Cobalt Scar for a quest that sometimes results in a high end gem reward. This is good because it means people might hang onto them and not just destroy em immediately, but it also means that they might cost you a bit if you try to buy. Ulthorks are very common in Siren's Grotto, but are also much tougher. So, if you're in no particular hurry and want some exp, that's a great place to try. The ulthorks in East Wastes are equally common and much easier, so that's a faster source. I was given my tusk so I never had to actually hunt for it, but my understanding is that you while they don't drop every time, you shouldn't have to nearly exterminate the species to get one tusk. I believe the ulthork are most common in the northeast portion of East Wastes. Just follow along the water north from the bridge.

Molkor Hide: Here again I was given my hide so I don't have any first-hand experience with getting one. As far as I know, molkor are only found in Siren's Grotto where they are very common. The hides are tradeable and not good for much else, so you could probably get one from other folks if you can't round up enough troops to do them yourself. I don't know how exactly how common they are, but the friend (/wave Xlint) who gave me mine gave me five all at once, so I'm guessing they're not terribly rare.

Iceclad CuTlassfish: These must be fished out of the water in the Iceclad Ocean but can be fished even if you start with 0 skill. In order to fish, you must buy a fishing pole and some bait from one of the many vendors in just about any city that have them. You have to use a skill hotkey out of the banks of hotkeys that come premade, same as the ones for kick or hide or forage. Equip your fishing pole in your primary hand, sit or stand in front of water, hit your hotkey, and if you have any bait on you, you will cast your line. After a pause of maybe 20 seconds or so, you will get a message saying whether or not you caught anything If you did catch something it will appear on your cursor. In addition to fresh fish, you will also sometimes get tattered sandals, rusty daggers, or fish scales. Sometimes you might lose your bait, and each time you catch something you will use up one bait, so be sure to bring along at least a few stacks, maybe even a whole bag full. Some zones also have other special things that you can fish up. For our purposes in Iceclad, the only thing you need to save will be the Cutlassfish. You may get a lot of other stuff before you get the ones you need, just keep on a-fishin' and eventually they'll come. In Norrath as in anywhere else, fishing is a hobby best suited to the patient. So sit back, pop open a short beer, and contemplate the waves. Of course, you might first want to find somewhere relatively out of the way from wandering mobs to avoid any unpleasant interruptions. I used a nice little clearing at the water's edge just a wee bit north of the bridge. It's steep getting down there but very secure and serene.

Royal Kromrif Blood: Get thee to Kael, and bring along some help. The blood only drops off of either of the two Iceshards, Klaggan Iceshard or Vorken Iceshard. I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting either of them, but I am told they spawn in the "Keep area". Klaggan is on the throne and Vorken is to his right. They apparently have long respawn times compared to the other giants in the area, and both sometimes have placeholders up. They do not always drop the blood but it is quite common. If the giant has any on him, it can be pickpocketed by a non-kos rogue with very high skill. Pickpocketing always runs the risk of creating agro, however, so make sure your rogue is aware of the danger and prepared to flee. I am told that if it is successfully pickpocketed the giant's loot table will eventually reset after an unknown period of time, perhaps half an hour or more. It seems that a sufficiently talented single group of level 55-60 can crawl their way to the area and kill these giants. A 60 wiz friend of mine also had a 60 shadowknight feign-pull one of them to the zone where the two of them killed it. So it seems that the giants themselves are not as much of a problem as getting to them. The blood, however, is not no drop. So, if you cannot find a way to get it off the giants yourself, you can always try to buy. I am told that the going rate is 5k though, so that won't be an option for everyone. This ingredient and the runed seashell are the ones that holds up the seventh shawl for most folks.

Rubbing Alcohol: Praise Brell! Rubbing alcohol is now available in Thurgadin! Go pay a visit to the bartenders of The Icy Mug at -50, 100 in Thurgadin for your very own locally sourced rubbing alcohol. While you're there have a drink in memory of the mortician in Cabilis, whose sales have dropped off rather suddenly.

Detailed Instructions

The Warning - Dealing with the Dratted Dain
In order to complete this quest you must meet with the Dain. He is a popular raid target because he drops some nice equipment and quest items. This means that he is very rarely to be found alive and well. Since we need him for the quest, the coldain allow us to summon him once so that we don't have to spend ages hanging out waiting in Icewell and competing with raids when he does appear. The problem is that if you follow the quest instructions in order as they are given by the coldain, you need the Dain twice and therefore have to wait around for him the second time anyway. That's government for you.

The way it works is that there are two versions of the Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl. The first is the "Original" one you create during the seventh shawl quest, while the second is the "Approved" one that you get back upon showing the first to any of the eighth shawl quest coldain except for Loremaster Borannin. I have noted throughout the NPC text which version you can give to which coldain (of those who ask for it) and which version they will give you back. You can tell the two versions apart by holding your shawl on your cursor and having someone cast the spell Identify on you (or cast it on yourself). If it identifies as "Runed Coldain Prayer Shawl", it is the Original version. If it identifies as "Approved by the Dain", it is the Approved version.

Therefore, the way to do the quest without losing your ability to spawn the Dain is thus:
Step 1: Talk to Loremaster Borannin if you did not already at the end of the seventh.
Step 2: Craft all of the pieces of Imbued Royal Velium Armor.
Step 3: Spawn the Dain if he is not already available and get the Royal Coldain Orders.
Step 4: Immediately run to Loremaster Solstrin and get the Issue Kit.
Step 5: Immediately combine the prepared armor in the Issue Kit.
Step 6: Immediately go give the Coldain Standard Issue Kit to the Dain.
Step 7: Whenever your raid force is ready, take the Approved Issue Kit to General Bragmur in Iceclad and complete the quest with the war and ending conversation with the Avatar of Brell.

Everyone except for Loremaster Borranin and Meg Tucter are in Icewell Keep. The Chamberlain and Dain are up top in the Dain's throne room. From the entrance to the fortress take the second hallway either on the right or left and go up the stairs. That puts you on the second floor, where you will find another set of stairs right next to those that will take you up another floor. The Chamberlain stands just to the left of the Dain's throne at about 685, 8. The Dain himself wanders between his throne or his bedroom, which is through the hidden passage through the curtains behind his throne. There is no danger to going back there as long as you are not kos to either Coldain or Dain factions. Meg Tucter is out in Thurgadin itself. From the entrance to the Thurgadin town area, turn right and she's in the first shop on the left, the jewelery shop. Loremaster Solstrin can be found in the basement of Icewell Keep. From the front entrance to the fortress, go straight back and to the left around the ice tunnel coming down through the middle of the room. Go through the hallway in the back of the room and to the left and take the door on the left between the two Watchers. He is all the way down at the bottom at loc 782, 200.

Dain Faction: If you have gone completely through the first seven shawl quests doing all the work and receiving all of the faction hits yourself, and have never taken any additional positive or negative hits to Dain faction, you will be dubious to the Dain. That's okay, dubious will work just fine. If you're threatening or scowling, you can improve your Dain faction by getting hits off of the death of some prominent giants like King Tormax and his few closest buddies, or by completing certain quests. The hits from King Tormax are quite large while the hits from quests are relatively tiny...but are easier if you don't have access to a Tormax raid. You can try repeating the first and second shawls or the beginning of the Phenocryst Focus quest. There are numerous other possibilities, although they may be no more palatable. For more details go to the Quests Forum and run a search for "Dain faction".

Some additional Dain suggestions: If there is a large force in the zone and you have the slightest suspicion that they might nab your Dain in the time between you spawning him and running to Loremaster Solstrin and back, try to get them to agree to leave him alone while you're gone. Getting a friend to hang out and keep an eye on the Dain for you wouldn't hurt. Just don't forget to use the combine button on that issue kit before you give it to the Dain. Failure to do so will result in the Dain returning an empty issue kit to you. Ouch.

Basic Smithing Information
The most basic smithing recipe uses a flask of water, a certain size and type of ore, and maybe a mold specific to the item you wish to make. The most common kinds of ore are just plain "ore", "medium quality ore", "high quality ore", "acrylia", and "velium". Ore and medium quality ore are only available on vendors. High quality ore is available both as a drop and in limited quantities on vendors. Acrylia and velium are only available as a drop. They all can come in small pieces, which are stackable, and small bricks, large bricks, and blocks, which are not stackable. You generally need to use one of the conversion recipes to turn your raw ore into bits, sheets, or folded sheets, which then go into the recipe for whatever you wish to make. Other ores too numerous to name also drop from the Planes but are not necessary for your purposes here.

When smithing you combine your ingredients in one of the stationary forges located throughout cities and towns. (You may have heard of the infamous "never fail forge" located deep in Dalnir. It sounds too good to be true because it is. This forge will indeed never fail, but only works on the recipes for a certain quest, and cannot be used for anything else.) Simply put your ingredients into the forge and hit combine. Often when turning your raw ore into one of the prepared states (bits, rings, sheets, etc) you may get back more than one when successful, so watch for notes about a recipe's yield when buying or collecting materials. You may also sometimes need one of the several different kinds of hammers that are sold by ore vendors. When a hammer is required, you will get it back whether or not you succeed at an attempt, so they can be reused indefinitely. There are reports that the Velium Smithy Hammer or Combine Smithy Hammer can be used in place of the plain ole generic Smithy Hammer. If the recipe specifically calls for one of the specialty hammers then you must use that one, but if it only calls for a regular Smithy Hammer, you should be able to use either of the others. Please report it to the message boards if you find recipes with which this does not hold true. There are many other specialty smithing hammers that may or may not work for regular recipes, but there is no reason why you would want one of them instead of these for the shawl quest.

You have probably heard of cultural smithing. Cultural recipes are those that can only be done by a person of the right race and can only be created in one of the special forges in that person's home city. The special forges cannot be used for regular recipes or by anyone who is not of the right race. There should also be regular forges elsewhere in the city, so if the forge you're at has a special name at the top of the open container window then keep looking. See the Smithing Recipes for specifics about the various things you can smith.

What about that Etched Velium Armor stuff?
You may have seen etched velium armor for sale in the Bazaar and wondered how people turn the No Drop quest armor into something sellable. This is done by combining a piece of imbued royal velium with the etching tools from Meg Tucter in a jewelry kit to make a tradeable version of the armor. Like the no drop stuff, it has a very pretty dark blue plate look. Once a piece has been etched it can not be changed back and will be useless for the quest. See the Jewelcraft Recipes for more details.

Velium Hound Fur: Velium Hounds are found in Western Wastes. Getting sufficient fur might not be as easy as it sounds. A tracker can be invaluable here. The wolves share a spawn table with the other animals in the area so you could try killing other roaming animals. The only problem with this is that eventually all that is left are various creatures like cragwyrms that give Claws of Veeshan faction hits, so everyone leaves until the next time the zone is reset. The wolves are not on any faction so the dragons don't seem particularly concerned when they see you killing them. If you are good faction with the dragons, you can ignore most of them. Just be aware that there is one dragon near the Temple of Veeshan zone which is on the Kunark dragon Ring of Scale faction, and one in the wyvern caves which appears to be on Guardians of Veeshan faction, to which everyone is kos. If you haven't the fighting resources to collect furs yourself, you can buy them from other people but expect to pay anywhere from 300pp to 2k EACH, depending on your server.

Velium: Get yerself back to Crystal Caverns or Velketor's! Remember your old buddies the orc miners and the crystalline spiders? They miss you! Go pay them another visit. If you still have an aversion from collecting last time, you can also try the various icy-looking golems in places like Velks or the Tower of Frozen Shadow or down the pit in Icewell Keep. There are extra recipes provided in the Overview of the Recipes up above so that you can convert the different kinds of velium that drop into the large bricks and blocks that you need. There is no need for you to use all of those recipes if you have enough large bricks and blocks.

Coldain Velium Temper: You can acquire the temper you need for making folded sheets either by buying from the vendor in the Thurgadin Mining Company at 41, -111 in Thurgadin, or by brewing it yourself. It costs about 26pp each to buy, and about 6-15pp each to make, depending on whether you loot or buy your research components. Allspice can be bought from several different alchemy vendors around Norrath, including Hulda in the Thurgadin bank. Brown algae is available only from Blumblum Swigwater, one of the othmir in Cobalt Scar. Celestial solvent is only available from a few Poison Vendors. There is a list of research components that work for celestial essence here.

Unrefined Gems: These drop from the shimmering geonids in the Wakening Lands cave and from the wyverns in Western Wastes. They are No Drop. As far as the geonids go, only the shimmering ones drop gems. However, every single shimmering geonid drops one of the three gems, so you shouldn't have to kill the poor things for ages. Regular geonids are placeholders for the shimmering ones, so you might also have to kill some of them to get spawns. The faction hits for killing geonids are big enough that you might want to focus on wyverns if geonid faction is important to you. Alternatively, you could spend some time building up geonid faction before trying for your gems. The easiest way to do this is by repeating the beginning of the Phenocryst Focus quest. Geonids in Crystal Caverns do not drop the right gems.

As for the wyverns, the burrowing wyverns also drop a gem every time. The gems sometimes drop off of huntresses and hunters as well. Wyverns are on Claws of Veeshan faction but do not give faction hits when killed. They do summon though, so any tactics that require putting space between them and yourself are not likely to work. As with hunting velium hounds, be careful if you are near the Temple of Veeshan, as there is a dragon on Ring of Scale faction around there, or in the wyvern caves, as there is a dragon on the kos-to-everyone Guardians of Veeshan faction in there. You might want to consider targeting the wyverns when you are killing velium hounds, to collect both ingredients and help refresh the spawn table at the same time.

General Bragmur: You will find him to start the action at -3400, 9000 in Iceclad. He is a permanent fixture, not triggered by your conversation with the Dain. If you happen to catch him shortly after someone else has killed him or completed the quest, his respawn is about four hours. Your mission is to travel across Iceclad with him, fighting off special wolves and giants that will ambush you along the way. He has a long history of problems with his pathing but has behaved much better since some recent tweaks. He will no longer get stuck under islands, preferring instead to swim around them. He does still sometimes vanish and then reappear a short way back or ahead on the path, sometimes even returning to his spawn point, so you might find a tracker reassuring in case you can't see where the General went. The other essential crew member is someone who can Memory Blur in case someone accidentally agros him during a fight. It is possible to bring kos people along but it will cause additional hassles. You need to be sure they understand that they need to stay away from the General as much as possible, and that your chanters keep a close eye for the need to mem blur.

There is one other issue to watch for as well. When the various wolves and giants spawn, they might be placed such that they all agro on party members and none on the General. If this happens, the General will continue along on his merry way, oblivious to the sudden bloodshed. You must be prepared for this by making sure that at least someone in your party is watching the General and can keep him close until the fight is over. Your feigner and/or Memory Blur person might be good choices here. The General will keep walking as soon as the fight ends so feel free to delay him until your party has a chance to recover. He cannot be charmed in order to buff him. You also cannot agro him and run him to the end of the path without having the fights. He must walk on his own and trigger each attack in order for the Avatar of Brell to appear at the end to grant you your new shawl. The General himself is reasonably tough and should be able to hold up under attack until your tanks get a chance to pull stuff off of him. He'll be doing some good damage, as well.

As you travel, you will encounter five waves of attack from the giants and their wolves, some harder than others. Three coordinated groups of 55+ are required at the very barest minimum. Remember that you will also be agroed by all the green wolves and giants and obnoxious dervishes that you encounter along the way. It might be smart to have a few folks as the designated greenie brigade to help keep them out of everyone else's hair while fighting the real attacks. Please give those nasty dervishes a whack for me while you're at it. You may also wish to walk the path ahead of time through all of the locs indicated below, so that you know where the General should be going and are prepared for each fight.

• First Wave: (-3550, 7550) 4 Kromriff Tracking Wolves spawn and attack. These cannot be charmed, snared or rooted. Stuns should work. Some reports say they're mezzable, some say they're immune. They're not terribly difficult.
• Second Wave: (-2200, 7250) 4 Frost Giant Skirmishers spawn and attack. They cannot be mezzed. They hit for 178 max and should be easily dispatched.
• Third Wave: (-1100, 5950) Commander Kvarid and 3 Frost Giant Skirmishers spawn and attack. They cannot be stunned, mezzed, rooted or snared. The Frost Giant Skirmishers are 55ish, and Commander Kvarid is 57.
• Fourth Wave: (1500, 2250) 5 Kromriff Tracking Wolves spawn and attack. Same rules apply as on the wolves in the first wave.
• Fifth Wave: (3700, 2650) Commander Vjorik and 5 Frost Giant Skirmishers spawn and attack. Same rules apply as on the giants in the third wave.

The various wolves and giants that you will fight during this process also drop some very nice gear. Possible goodies include:

• Snowchipper: 1HS 10/20, AC 5, str/sta/dex 5, sv cold 10, 3% to parry, weight 4.0, recommended level 51, war,rog,brd,shd,pal,rng/all
  
• Drakkel Wolf Claws: 1H Piercing 10/20, AC 10, dex/int/cha 10, sv cold 10, hp/mana 40, weight 2.0, recommended level 51, effect: Wandering Mind, brd,rng,wiz,mag,enc,nec,bst/all
  
• Spiked Velium Mallet: 1HB 10/20, str/sta/dex 5, sv cold 10, 3% to block, weight 1.0, recommended level 51, effect: Frostcall, war,rog,mnk,brd,shd,pal,clr,dru,shm,rng/all
  
• Ice Forged Helmet: head item AC 18, str/wis/int 5, sv cold 10, hp/mana20, weight 4.0,recommended level 51, effect: Velium Shards, war,brd,shd,pal,clr,rng/all
  
• Tracking Wolf Collar: neck item AC 10, wis/int 5, hp/mana 40, sv cold 10, 2% to dodge, weight 1.0, recommended level 51, all/all

After the War
If you have failed the war you can still try again! However, you will need to make a new set of armor and you will not be able to summon the Dain. You can either endure a tedious camp for him to respawn, get chummy with guilds that target him and know when he'll return, or find someone starting the eighth shawl for the first time and do your turn-in when they do. He does not despawn when he sends you to the General, so he'll stick around for you when the other person is done. (Yes, when triggered he is a normal Dain spawn and has his usual loot so when spawned he can still be valuable to a raid. But if you ask me it's still pretty despicable to summon him to complete the most sacred quest of his people and then turn him over to be killed!)

If you have successfully defended the General and reach the gnome camp, you should receive your shawl as indicated in the NPC text. The Avatar of Brell is not on Dain or Coldain faction and appears to be indifferent to all.

The Shawl's Effects
It has not one but two effects: Flowing Thought III and Zephyr of Brell. Flowing Thought is found on many items in Norrath in strengths ranging from I through V. In this case it adds a constant additional mana regen of 3 points of mana per tick. Flowing Thought items all stack with each other, to a maximum total of 15 points of Flowing Thought at any given time. Zephyr of Brell, however, is unique to the shawl. It is a special 20% extended duration IV focus effect. It will extend the usual duration of any beneficial buffs of any level by 20%. This makes the shawl especially precious to those of us who cast a lot of buffs, as most other extended duration focus effects in Norrath are 15% or less. Like all focus effects on items, it stacks with the AA abilities that extend buff duration but does not stack with other extended duration focus effects.

Forge of Icewell Keep
Royal Forge of Icewell Arms Set.12 - Royal Field Plate
===============
The field plate of the Coldain Royal Armory is lightweight and good for any expedition where battle may occur. The following are the summarized steps of the process:

1. To start you will need to first hammer out the folded sheets of velium that the armor is constructed from. Place a Block of Velium in the forge, as it become more malleable begin to hammer it flat with a Velium Smithy Hammer. When flat pour some Coldain Velium Temper onto the sheet. Fold the sheet over on top of itself and hammer it down flat once again.

2. Now begin to work on the Velium Rings that will link the pieces of the armor together. To make a set of rings, places a Large Brick of Velium into the forge and heat it up a bit. Take a metal file and file off small pieces and shape them into a circular shape. Cool them in a Vial of Coldain Velium Temper to strengthen them.

3. Take a break from the hot forge and prepare to fashion the Soft Fur Padding which will be placed on the inside of the armor. The fur will serve as comfort and to keep the body warm. The softest fur is found from Velium Hounds, take a patch of their fur and sew it into patterns that will fit inside the armor, use Silver Thread to accomplish this.

4. The preparations are now complete. You can now begin to fashion the armor. Use a Velium Smithy Hammer to hammer the Folded Velium Sheets into a Plate Mold. Once the Sheet has been hammered into the mold, begin attaching the Velium Rings to the outer areas of the armor piece that will connect to other pieces. Then begin attaching the Soft Fur Padding to the insides of the armor piece. For creating the Bracer and Boots you will need one Folded Velium Sheet. For the Vambraces, Gauntlets, and Helmet you will need three Folded Velium Sheets. For the Breastplate, and Greaves you will need three Folded Velium Sheets to fill the mold.

Royal Forge of Icewell
Precious Gem Study v.1
===============
Now that the armor is created you can begin to set a gem within it. We have found three gems that when faceted will seem to add an aura that radiates from the armor. It is our firm belief that Brell himself is pleased with the fusion of Ore and Mineral and bestows powers unto the armor. Three different gems are used in the process of creating this armor: Diamonds, Emeralds and Sapphires. These are not normal gems that circulate through the economy; these are gems pulled from the raw ore and faceted to draw upon its powers. To facet the unrefined gem you will first need a set of etching tools to chip away the raw edges. Place the gem firmly in your jewelry kit and slowly chip away at all sides until a nice smooth edge is formed. When you have finished with the lapidary place the piece of armor you wish to work on into your jewerly kit. Use your etching tools to form a base for the gem to fit in. Then place the gem in the base you just created and you are finally done. The optimum effect of gems has been found as the follows: Diamonds for the Breastplate and Greaves, Sapphires for the Vambraces and Bracers, and Emeralds for the Boots, Gauntlets and Helmets.
