4 Fight and defeat the monster, and return to the petitioner for your reward.

Aekom, Seeq Miner

The petitioner, Aekom, will be standing near the Mine entrance. He is easy to spot as he is a seeq and also a miner. He will be asking for your helping in ridding the Mines of the mark.

Sneaky Snake-y

It is fairly easy to get lost in the mines, but not if you know your way around. The mark, the Nidhogg, will be at Transitway 1. It is the area with the path that splits in two. For more information about the monster Nidhogg, see the link below.
