I've breached the barrier to the mine beneath Shor's Stone. The Reachmen have assaulted the foreman and his crew. I need to find the foreman, Gandis, and figure out what the Reachmen are doing here.


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Find the two relics.
  2. Open the door to the tomb with the relics.
  3. Read Sinmur, Giant of Legend at the altar.
  4. Talk to Vigrod Wraithbane outside the mine.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Enter the Companions' Tomb

Foreman Gandis in Shor's Stone Mine asks you to find and free his men (the quest to free his men, Move out Miners, starts when you talk to the men). He also says the Reachmen leaders are in the ancient Companion tomb, which you need two relics to open the door. If you have the Persuasion perk, you can convince him to give you the Secret Door Key, which will allow you to traverse the mine faster using hidden tunnels beneath trap doors.

Both relics are found in Iron Boxes. Fireheart's Medallion is found in the northern chamber with Mael Rotvine, and Darkhammer's Amulet is found in the northeastern chamber with Ambre Gnarltree.

Next, head south and place the two amulets on the skeletons outside the door covered with ice. The ghosts of Jalarma Fireheart and Bron Darkhammer appear and allow you to enter the Companion's tomb.

Continue through the tomb to a large room with an altar. You see three figures on fire in front of a ghostly giant. They disappear as you get closer to the tombstone on the altar.

Read the tombstone for Sinmur, Giant of Legend.

"<The bones of Sinmur the Terrible are entombed here forever. The heroes Fireheart and Darkhammer sacrificed all to end Sinmur's reign of savagery. The Companions will forever remember their names.>"

Talk to Vigrod Wraithbane outside the mine. Sinmur has attacked Shor's Stone, and the Companions need to face their ancient enemy once more.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
