If it's not one thing, it's another.

No rest for the weary, friend. Not when there's work to be done.

What is it now?

The Molderpick Corrupted have captured the old iron mine to the west. We're calling it 'Defiler Excavation' now.

But the weird part is, we got our hands on some of the ore they're mining there, and it's...

It's what?

It's terrible. You can crush it in your fist, like dirt.

The iron we used to mine there was perfectliy good; something weird is going on.

Go to the Defiler Excavation and see what you can find out about this ore.

If that ore is iron, it's the worst iron I've ever seen.

We need to find out more about it, and why the Molderpick workers want it.

You're back! Strange, this ore seems perfectly fine. Strong, even.

And you say you found these vials throughout the mines? I wonder what happens when I pour it on the ore...

Let's find out.

Yes, just as we though. Now it's as weeak as the rest.

Why would the Corrupted do this? Why would they need this shoddy iron dust? There must be something else we're missing.
