Fearing that Nori has met with a terrible end at the hands of Karazgar or the mysterious dwarf-wights within Thikil-gundu, Dori and Company must muster the courage to enter the Steel Keep.
'If these old maps are to be believed, Durûz-mazal should lie beyond these doors. It was a great chamber wrought in honour of the Seven Dwarf-kings and in its centre, a great hoarding-vault was delved. It became known as Immêsh-khalt, and it held the whole of the wealth of Grárik in its depths.
'If my brother came in search of the treasures of Thikil-gundu, he and his expedition would not have had to look any further than Immêsh-khalt. And so, it is there we will begin our search!
'Let us hope these old gears still turn!'
NOTE: If you become separated from Dori and Company, you can summon them to your side using the Horn of Erebor. In addition, you can access the map of Thikil-gundu by pressing 'M'.0/1

12 Speak toNori (Show dialog)
'Dori! I cannot believe my eyes!'
Nori rushes forward and embraces his brother.
'It has gone all wrong, brother. I am the last of my expedition. The Weeping Warrior ambushed us before the gates of Thikil-gundu, and he slew the few of my company that survived the Wrack.
'In vengeance, I faced Karazgar in battle. Though I landed many blows, he managed to wrest my axe from my hand! It is a coward's way out of a fight, I think! All I have now is this torch. It has kept me warm, but it is no weapon!'
Dori hands Nori the axe you found before Thikil-gundu.
'My axe! Karazgar will know its bite once more!
'You have found me, brother, and for that I am grateful... but I cannot let Karazgar escape Thikil-gundu! Let us seek our vengeance against Karazgar together!'0/1

'It is worse than I feared....
'The Dead walk the halls of Thikil-gundu, and through some vile means, Karazgar has mastered the will of Vethúg Wintermind!
'There is little to celebrate this day, Player, but we have found my brother... and that is enough!
'Let us return to Tharrazhâr, and leave this sorrowful place behind.'
NOTE: When you complete this quest, you will swiftly travel to the Keep of Tharrazhâr in Skarháld. If you have not finished exploring or seeking treasures in Thikil-gundu, it is advised that you wait to talk to Dori.0/1
