How to Start The Heel of History

Donate to Kendrick in Vernworth

To start Heel of History, speak to Kendrick outside The Gracious Hand in Vernworth. He'll ask you to donate 1,0000 Gold and food first before you're able to start the quest.

If you don't have food on you, you can go inside The Gracious Hand to pick up some Dried Spuds on the floor.

Determine Malcolm's Location

Harvey	Rick
Standing outside lot with cooking pot	Northeast of The Gracious Hand; overlooking ocean
Aimee
Inside The Gracious Hand	Note: Aimee will only appear if you talk to Harvey and Rick first.

Your first objective is to find clues about Malcolm's location by talking to 3 kids in the area. Talk to the boys outside The Gracious Hand first before Aimee appears inside The Gracious Hand. You simply need to speak to all 3 of them only once.

Report Back to Kendrick

After speaking with all three children, head back to Kendrick report your findings.

After a short conversation, he'll start heading to a ruined tower close to the area. Follow him, and he'll clear the rubble blocking an entrance to a small underground dungeon.

Search the Vaults for Malcolm

Descend the steps into Gracious Hands' Vaults. Here, you'll find that the direct path to the end of the dungeon is locked. Stick to the right wall, as you circle around finding a path on the other side of the locked door.

A cutscene will play once you reach the octagonal room where you'll be reunited with Malcolm.

Follow Malcolm

Malcolm will enthusiastically reveal that he found a secret workshop full of books just up ahead. By following the path, you'll discover an underground library. This place with plenty of tomes is a perfect match for what Magistrate Waldhar is looking for.
