Lore & Dialog
MacNiall the Unruled tells you, "Arrr, and welcome to MacNiall's Freehold. Have ye seen them funny statue things the Mosswarts like to worship? I thinks their eyes is kinda pretty. Bring me one, and I'll see what I can do to reward ye." You give MacNiall the Unruled Idol Gem. MacNiall the Unruled tells you, "Errukh, look at the sparkle! Look, youngster. I'll give ye this note for my cousin MacDugal. I hear tell he's taken up residence with our old gang at some place called the Bandit Castle. Bring this note to him, and he'll reward ye right." MacNiall the Unruled gives you Bandit Cousins' Letter.

MacDugal tells you, "Arrr! Don't bother me! I've got enough problems on me hands! Talk to my lieutenant, Jourgensson!" You give MacDugal Bandit Cousins' Letter. MacDugall tells you, "Errukh! A letter from my long-lost cousin, MacNiall! Arrr, it's good to see the old boy is doing well! I ought to reward ye for this, as he says. Here then, have one of my blade hilts. I'm workin' on a way to improve daggers and light swords." MacDugal gives you Unfinished Bandit Blade Hilt.

MacDugal tells you, "Ye'll need to finish off that hilt with a pommel from the heart of an Iron Golem, but once it's done, ye can just affix it to a dagger, simi, shortsword, yaoji or rapier. Then yer blade'll be so well-balanced ye can do a fancy double or triple-strike when ye put enough skill and power into it!" You attach the Iron Golem Heart to the hilt, making a Bandit hilt.
