1.2.1 Hunt for the Lost Dwarves
In the Dryad Outpost you'll find Yoren, a Dwarf searching his relatives, who went 150 years ago for a search of legendary Glorydeep Mine. There's no sign of life from them. Yoren suspects that they found a treasure in Glorydeep Mine and don't want to share it with other Dwarves - this is the reason for not giving a sign of life. Yoren will give you a huge Glorydeep Ruby as a confirmation of his own words. He needs someone to help him search the Dwarves and mine or any clues, which may lead him to them.
Objectives:
- 1. Look for clues of the Lost Dwarves
- 2. Return to Yoren with news of your find
- 3. Bring Yoren to the abandoned mine
- 4. Explore the hidden cache
- 5. Find a way to enter the Glorydeep Mine
- 6. Find someone with information about the Glitterdelve family's fate
This quest goes on really long. While exploring The Blasted Valley you'll encounter a cave, only one that is unblocked at the beginning of the game. This is Abandoned Mine [18], where you can find a clue about Yoren's quest. Return to the Dryad Outpost and speak with him. He wants to see this mine, so take him with you and go back to the Abandoned Mine [18]. The fastest way to get there is using teleport to The Blighted Hills - North [3] and then across the bridge. This time you'll be able to open hidden cache, [Abandoned Mine - 2] where you can find a book about the Glorydeep Mine [Abandoned Mine - 3]. This quest will continue in the last chapter of the game. In Glorydeep Enclave you'll find a Dwarf named Rockmover, [The Halls of the Overseers - 3] which knows something about the Glitterdelve family. Again, bring over Yoren and the quest will be finished.
First clue leads to the Abandoned Mine.
1.2.2 Missing
In the Dryad Outpost find the man named Soram. He came to this camp with his child and wife Eliza seeking safety, but recently Eliza went to the forest to gather some fruits and didn't come back.

Objectives:
- 1. Look for Eliza
- 2. Return Eliza's locket to Soram in the Outpost
Soram tells you that his wife went south from the outpost. He's frighten that the Dryads could refuse her to enter the outpost. In such situation she would go to a place called A Ruined Traveller's Sanctuary, where she could wait for help. The get there you must go to the Blasted Valley and find a cavern [10]. Inside you'll find entrance to the place you've been told about by Soram, but it's guarded (the password is given to you by Kirani at the beginning of the 1.1.3 quest - In Search of Celia). The problem is, that the sanctuary has been raided by some kind of demonic monsters and Eliza was changed into one of them! There's no other way than killing her. Take her locket and give it back to Soram. He won't believe you at all and will attack you. You can kill him or spare his life, your choice won't affect later game.

But not every Morden are dying, there's a group called Ravagers. They are strong at cost of being Overmage's servants.

Decision about giving him the poison doesn't have any influence on the later game. When Lorksul gets the food, he will tell you a story about a vial of Overmage's blood.
