Updated during The Calm event.

The  Holtburg Redoubt starter quest ends with the beginning of the Brogord's Axe quest. After you return eight items left behind in the Holtburg Redoubt to the orphaned child of its former residents, you'll receive a note from Worcer with directions to the Cave of Alabree.

After the fall of Holtburg Redoubt, the Tumeroks took as a trophy the mighty axe that had been crafted by the Forester Brogord, father of Flinrala Ryndmad, who he perished defending the town. Retrieve the axe and return it to his daughter Flinrala for a reward!

Flinrala Ryndmad can be found with Worcer at the Helm & Shield (42.2N, 33.8E), near the hill overlooking the Menhir Rings of Holtburg. She is also Holtburg's Society Agent for the Exploration Society's Letter Quests.

Worcer tells you, "You know, since you've been so helpful to me, perhaps you could also help Flinrala. She doesn't talk about it much, but she still grieves for her father, Brogord. He died defending the Redoubt."
Worcer tells you, "One of his axes is rumored to be in the Cave of Alabree, a bit west of here. Perhaps you could go and take a look? Bring anything you find back to Flinrala - I'm sure she'll be happy to have it."
Worcer tells you, "Here, here are the directions. Wilomine also sells them, in case you lose those."
Worcer gives you Directions to the Cave of Alabree.

The Cave of Alabree is located at 41.8N, 32.0E and is restricted to Levels 1-20. Inside Blood Shreths roam the winding passageways. It's very easy to get lost as you search for the Armory where Brogord's Axe now rests.

Map: Cave of Alabree
Creatures: Blood Shreth, Hunter Shreth
Timer: 24 hours

Before heading to the Cave, you may want to bind yourself to the Holtburg Lifestone. You can also purchase protective gems from Novideon the Gem Seller and services from the local healer.

To begin, you have the choice of going left, right or straight. Go straight and take the right corridor at your first intersection. The passage ends in a "T" just past a room with a Shreth guarding a chest. Take the right turn and you'll go down a level to a large cavern with two more shreths. From the cavern take the first left. Make a right at the next intersection. You'll see a room off to the side. Pick up the note spawning on the floor.

Rumor: Letter to Ryndya

At your next split, take the left passage. It will wind around until you see the Armory door on the right. Brogord's Axe, a former trophy of the Tumerok invasion, is lying in the middle of the Armory floor.

If you choose the right split at that last intersection instead of the left, you'll find a steep ramp heading down. At the bottom a Hunter Shreth and a few Bloods guard a pretty nice chest with some good newbie loot. If you stop for your mighty axe first, you can backtrack and take them out with little problem!

As tempting as it may be to keep this fine axe, remember that Flinrala Ryndmad, orphaned as a baby during the Tumerok siege, sought the recovery of the axe in memory of her brave Father. If you return it to her, she'll give you a nice reward!

You give Flinrala Ryndmad Brogord's Axe.
Flinrala Ryndmad tells you, "You found one of my father's axes! Oh, thank you so much! You know, he was going to make me an axe of my own, as soon as I was big enough to hold one ..."
Flinrala Ryndmad tells you, "I'm sorry ... I just miss him still ..."
Flinrala Ryndmad tells you, "No, no, I'm okay ... Allow me to reward you. It's the least I can do, really."
You've earned 10,000 experience.

You give Flinrala Ryndmad Letter to Ryndya.
Flinrala Ryndmad tells you, "What's this? A letter from my father to my mother? ... oh! And he wrote it in the Redoubt, as he was waiting for the end to come. This is ... I cannot speak ... It is so kind of you, to return this to me. To read his last words ..."
Flinrala Ryndmad tells you, "No, no, I'll be alright. It just overwhelms me sometimes, how much I miss him. I must reward you for this."
You've earned 10,000 experience.
Flinrala Ryndmad tells you, "You have been so kind to bring me this remembrance of my father, perhaps you can help my friend Alfrin, just over there by Worcer."

During December 2000's The Child of Daralet patch, the axe became no-drop and no-give.

The Holtburg Starter quests are continued in the Drudge Hideout quest.
