Story

Warehouse Keeper Valkon
Map: where Valkon stands

First you must pay the registration fee. The amount will be 2,000 Adena. All fees received are used to support the technical development of the guild and sponsoring Artisans.

Very well! First, take this insignia, which signifies that you are performing the Trial of the Guildsman. Many blacksmiths and senior warehouse keepers will assist you when they see it.

The trial itself is very straightforward. You must make 7 Journeyman Rings. Don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity, however. The process of making the rings themselves is a critical test of a Dwarf's skill and wit.

Why 7 rings, you ask? Well, it's a tradition reaching back to the beginning of the Kingdom and the formation of the guilds themselves. Six of the rings go to the elders of the 6 guilds, while the last is reserved for the King who will return.

To obtain the ring design blueprint, visit Blacksmith Altran on Talking Island. I will write a letter of introduction for you, free of charge. When you finish creating all 7 rings, return here.

Take this Dimension Diamond. You can trade it for something special from the village gatekeeper. I hope it will help you on your journey. What are youn waiting for?
