Dialogue

The King greets the player saying: "My name is King Casik, and I have heard that you seek Dagoth-Ur, the legendary home of the Dwarven People. Perhaps we can help one another. I have in my possession the Anvil of Mithas, greatest of the Dwarven blacksmiths. Only one object was strong enough not to shatter when used to shape metal upon the Anvil, the Hammer of Gharen. It is said that the ring of the Hammer upon the Anvil speaks to the user, telling him the entrance to the Mount of Dagoth-Ur. With the raw metals present within the mountain, my blacksmiths will be able to fashion the finest weapons and armor in the realm! Recover the Hammer for me. It was supposedly lost in the dungeon known as Black Gate. I will show you where this dungeon can be found. You will be rewarded for this deed with the location of the entrance to the Dagoth-Ur. You can then journey there and explore it to your heart's content. Do you agree?"

If the player accepts, he will mark the location of Black Gate saying: "You do me a great service, [PC name]. One that I nor my people will easily forget. Come, here is the location of the Black Gate..." King Casik inscribes the location of the Black Gate, home of the Hammer of Gharen, onto your map...

If the player declines: "I understand your reluctance, but think of it. You will be aiding the realm in relearning the lost art of Dwarven smithcraft. Do not make so hasty a judgment, I beg of you. If you change your mind, return here and ask me of Dagoth-Ur. I will await your return..."

King Casik gestures for you to be dismissed, his face marked with concern over your decision...

Should the player return after declining the quest: "I hope that you have decided to help me in this matter. The Hammer awaits you in the Black Gate. Recover it and I will be able to find the entrance to Dagoth-Ur, information that I will share with you. Do you aagree?"

If the player speak with him further: "I have nothing further to discuss!"

If the player return with the Hammer of Gharen: "Well done, [PC name]. You have done the realm a service it will not easily forget. Smiths across the land will hail your arrival. Now, for my part of the bargain..." King Casik rings the Hammer of Gharen onto the Anvil, listening intently. A slow smile spreads across his features. Gesturing to you, he inscribes the location of the entrance of Dagoth-Ur, somewhere in the northern part of Morrowind, onto your map...

If the player returns empty-handed: "It seems the Black Gate was more than you could handle. No matter, the option to try again lies with you. You may rest as long as you like. Use your experience with the area to prepare. When you are ready, journey back to the Black Gate and recover for me the Hammer of Gharen. I will await your successful return..."

King Casik nods once kindly, gesturing for you to dismiss yourself, then turns his attention to other matters of the state...
