To start the quest the player must go towards the Arandar Mountains and will randomly encounter a "Weary Merchant", who will ask for your help, agree and he will tell you to deliver an artifact to an archaeologist at the Digsite. You will receive a Broken pillar piece. Go to the Digsite and talk to the "Shady Archaeologist", he will then tell you to go on top of Trollheim mountain. The most quickest method would be to simply teleport there. The Weary Merchant will be waiting for you there.
