== Overview ==
* To start this quest, You must have completed the first 3 quests of the [[Whispering Blade]] Faction to begin this quest. And you must speak to [[Mekhmet]] in Ayan Baqur in order to enter the dungeon (Shade Iron Mine).

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
# Travel south to the [[Shade Iron Mine]] at 65.0S 87.6W.
# Near the end of the dungeon there are three branches going south. Each branch has a cluster of [[Viamontian Ore Collector]]s that drop a {{Itemlink|Shade Iron Ore Hammer}}. If you have a large group you can split up amongst the branches to save time.
# Past each cluster of Ore Collectors is a [[Shade Iron Ore Deposit]]. Use the hammer on the deposit to extract a {{Itemlink|Shade Iron Ore Sample}}.
# Return to [[Ayan Baqur]] and give the sample to [[Mekhmet]] to receive your rewards.

== Dialog ==
{{Dialog|
;Opening Dialog
|Mekhmet tells you, "The Grand Mother must have sent you.  Yes, I know how much you helped the people of Silyun.  Now that Silyun has formally allied with Queen Elysa, their cause is our cause."
|Mekhmet tells you, "If you would seek to defeat the tyrant Varicci, journey to the Shade Iron Mine in a cavern south of here, along the coast at 65.0 S, 87.6W."
|Mekhmet tells you, "The Viamontians have been extracting a metal known as Shade Iron there.  This is the metal they crafted the foul blade Heartbreaker with.  We must know more about it, so I would ask you to obtain a sample of the ore.  The ore is difficult to properly extract.  I suspect you will have to take a proper tool from the Viamontian mages in the mine who collect the ore."

;Handing in Shade Iron Ore Sample
|You give Mekhmet Shade Iron Ore Sample.
|You've earned 1,500,000 experience.
|Mekhmet gives you Whispering Blade Boots.
|Mekhmet tells you, "This is the mysterious metal, is it?  I cannot say it seems all that menacing to me, but there are people more clever than I who are waiting to analyze it.  Thank you, you have helped us immensely.  I will remember your service.  If you seek to further aid our cause, speak to Harkwull, here in Ayan Baqur."
