Nameless. Nar's Peak. Same number of letters. That must be it! (Assuming a dropped apostrophe.) :)

Back in the Dunland (Enedwaith?) epic quest line, Nar used to forget names all the time.

Listen to the exchange between Nona and Nár

Frithgeir has prepared the brew for Nár, and you should now see if it has the promised effect.

Nona says, "What did you say to my brother Wadu when he came here?"
Nár says, "Wadu?"
Nár says, "Aye, he was a brave dwarf."
Nona says, "My brother was not a dwarf!"
Frithgeir says, "Nár, it is ready. I have this for you!"
Nár says, "This is strong-smelling stuff, is it not? To your health!"
Nár says, "Ooooh...who are you? When did you arrive at my hall?'
Nona says, "Tell me what you said to my brother! Tell me what you said to Wadu!"

Still waiting for someone who explain me the link between Nameless and Nar's peak.

This quest is a nice idea but that step made me give up, too casual. Same for Skumfil thing. You should have clarified you need an expansion pack cause a quest like that is supposed to be cleared without any p2p content tho.

Believe me. We LOVE this kind of thing too. It was so fun combining brains and time between much of the community. I was in communication with a lot of people the whole time and tried to keep the information flowing in this thread too. Sadly, there were some people who weren't wanting to help out the community but we still got past that.

Also, who was the dev that snuck in this thread and posted this :)

This difficult treasure hunt will require community teamwork and resources outside of the game itself.

Good luck!

Every bit as awesome as the culmination of the 10th Anniversary's Scavenger Hunt. A heartfelt thank-you, SSG!

Now that was fun! Happy to have guessed quite a lot on my own and grateful to friends (and strangers) for help when I got stuck.

That Nameless one took us the longest.

Runic Resource

Hope it's okay to link this...

Cool resource for translating some of the game's other runes, as well (given the distinction between Moria and Erebor runes).

Well, I'd just like to say well done and thank you to all the people who managed to work out this mess of "clues". Made no sense to me at all even after Chromite posted the solution. And the goat's only got 200 health. (Yes. I'm being that guy. It's my turn.)

If I remember it correctly, Nár had lost his memory when we first meet him in the game and is referred to as "Nameless". But I'm not 100% sure about that, it's been a while ;)

Just want to say this was an awesome event. Thanks for everyones help on this thread and in Arkenstone world chat. Was fun trying to decipher stuff and really got me into the lore. Wish we would get more stuff like this (especially the type of reward)

Can you imagine trying to do that with NO community support?!!!!

EEK!

Thanks all!

Agreed- more of this kind of stuff would be great. It was fun, and thanks Chromite and other in here for helping out with stuck moments. I couldn't get the Quipquip to work flawlessly, and had to change letters sometimes (or just fill on the blanks when they did silly things), so I avoided the thread for a while until I got the poem bit sorted. Have to admit though, the link between Nar and Nameless had me stumped. the only thing I can think of is epliogue quest in Erebor, (possible spoiler on main N Mirkwood questline, do not read further if you don't want to see it ). . . . .

when Thorin III is throwing a bit of a bash and Nar joins the party. I can't remember the dialogue, but seem to remember Thorin mentioning something about a nameless friend. I could just be imagining that though :)
