Worcer’s Missing Heirlooms
Worcer, who may be found in the Helm and Shield in Holtburg, wishes to create an exhibit to honor citizens of Holtburg who were slaughtered by Tumeroks in Portal Year 6. But he needs help recovering lost heirlooms from the Holtburg Redoubt, located at 40.4N, 34.4E. Head there and recover the 8 items from Worcer’s list. Then return them to Worcer.

Worcer tells you, "I'd appreciate your help recovering some items from the old Redoubt." Worcer tells you, "My parents were killed there when I was but a boy, when Holtburg was overrun with Tumeroks. I was saved, whisked away by the mage Celcynd at my parents' behest." Worcer tells you, "The Redoubt is directly south of here. We put up an eternal flame at the site, in memory of all the townsfolk who died. Some of us are also trying to get together an exhibit to honor our parents. For instance, my mother had these heirloom dishes she was always polishing. She loved those dishes ..." Worcer tells you, "Anyway, if you could recover any of these items for our exhibit, I will reward you as well as I can." Worcer gives you A List of Items. Worcer tells you, "If you need more help getting to the Redoubt, you can buy directions from Wilomine at the bar."

I would be happy to tell you my troubles! You see, I am a farmer ... well, all right ... an aspiring farmer. I just know that I could be a good farmer if I could but get the seed in the ground. But drudges keep stealing my seed!" Alfrin tells you, "If you could retrieve my seed bags for me - all three of them - and perhaps bring me the head of the dastardly drudge who is behind the theft, I will reward you well.
