Return a glowing axe to its previous owner. Zone: Greenshade Quest Giver: Backpack Location(s): Gurzag's Mine, Marbruk Reward: Redeemed Hand Axe Low Leveled Gold XP Gain: Low

I found an odd, glowing handaxe in a pack at the bottom of Gurzag's Mine. A note of sale indicated a Bosmer named Forthor sold it to the Orcs. He's part of the Marbruk Mages Guild.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Search the backpack.
2. Find Forthor at the Marbruk Mages Guild.
3. Watch Forthor disenchant the axe, and claim it as your reward.

Detailed Walkthrough

To begin this quest, you must locate the backpack in Gurzag's Mine. The backpack is located in the large room in the northeast of the mine. Interact with the backpack to find the axe inside it (which exhibits a strange, purple glow). The note indicates the axe belonged to Forthor in the Marbruk Mages Guild. You must now take the axe to the mages guild. Exit the delve and head to Marbruk.

Once you are in Marbruk, go inside the Mages Guild. Forthor is upstairs, so you must go through one of the four doors inside to take the stairs, and then head back inside. Talk to Forthor and try to give him back his axe; he is alarmed, as he cursed the axe and gave it to the Wood Orcs to try to wipe them out. Thankfully, now the Wood Orcs are gone, he can simply remove the enchantment and give the axe to you. Watch as he performs a ritual to remove the curse from the axe, and then speak to him again to finish the quest and claim the Redeemed Hand Axe and some leveled gold.

Notes

• The quest stage telling you to go to Marbruk may update in Woodhearth instead.
• There is a skyshard in the delve near the backpack; make sure to claim the skyshard while you are in the delve.

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.
