However, I am not talking about the animate, monster golems that you can see frequently. The golems made by the dwarves are automatic dolls that move according to minute mechanical devices. It is totally different from stone golems or
granite golems, which were magically blessed with life.
However, I always wondered what the energy source of a magically created golem would be. No matter how carefully I looked at it, I could not find the part that generated power ... There are many golems in Southern Entrance of Wastelands here. They say it is because the devil Beleth and the magicians of the Ivory Tower used them as weapons of war in this land. If that is true, then that means that more than a thousand years have passed since the golems were abandoned in this land. What do you think? Aren't you getting curious, too? If you grant my request, it will be a great help to my studies ... will you help me?

Good! We understand each other well. Actually, I recently had a chance to see a destroyed
granite golem, and within the remains I saw a piece of stone of a different hue. I asked Sal, who has profound knowledge of magic, and he said the stone was a heartstone. I found out that all the golems made by the magicians had a heartstone in the center of their bodies.
What was it that he said? Something about putting a symbolic heart that resembles the living body into a still stone figure, and then gathering the magic forces before beginning the spells ... . Of course I didn't understand a word of what he was talking about, but anyway, it seems almost certain that the heartstone is the power source of the golem.
So, I would like you to go into Southern Entrance of Wastelands and get me the heartstone of a golem. There are many
granite golems in Southern Entrance of Wastelands. There are also
granite golems that are nicknamed
punchers, because they brandish their fists about fiercely.
Most heartstones shatter or crack when the golem is killed, but very rarely you can obtain whole, perfect heartstones. I would like you to bring me all the heartstones you can find -- whether they be broken or whole. I will compensate you for as many as you bring back. Of course, I will be more generous for perfect heartstones.
As Elves are infatuated with poetry and songs and Orcs rave over war, we Dwarves love to make things with our very own hands. Ever since I was young, I immensely enjoyed fooling around with toys with springs or pocket watches. My dream is to make a golem with my own hands some day.

Aren't you getting curious, too? If you have time later, let's research it together.
(Quest for characters level 33 and above.)
Oh dear, your hands are still empty. As I already told you, I need the heartstones of
granite golems and
punchers. Please go to
Oh, you have found some! I will reveal whether or not the power to move rocks like living humans for hundreds of years lies within this small stone. I must begin my research immediately -- starting tonight. Although it is difficult because I do not have any proper tools or measuring devices, because this is not a workshop, I can measure the size with a ruler and the weight with a scale, and pound it with my hammer to fathom its solidity and density. Hmm ... so this goes like this ... and ...
Oh dear, I've been wrapped up too much in my own thoughts, forgive me! As we promised, I will reward you by the number of heartstones you have brought.
But I wish to have some more heartstones to send to my guild brothers in Giran Castle Town. What do you say? Could I ask you another favor?
Player choices:
I'm sorry that you are quitting, it is too bad. I'll have to ask someone else. Thanks anyway. May the divine blessing of Maphr, our God of the Earth, be with you!
I want to thank you. Thank you so much for helping me satisfy my curiosity. If my studies produce results, then we Dwarves may be able to develop a new power tool that moves mechanical devices. It is all thanks to you. That granted, please help me a little more.
