Skaldrun

Skaldrun is an immortal cursed Fremennik storyteller from the Fourth Age, recently rescued from Daemonheim by the player. He tells stories in a mix of questing and dungeoneering, called Fremennik Sagas. You are able to find him by entering the Frozen floors in dungeoneering, with at least complexity 2 activated. You will find him frozen in ice as a Frozen figure, and will be required to unfreeze him. A tinderbox and some wood or runes for any fire spell is needed to do so.

After you unfreeze Skaldrun, you can find him again at the camp. He is west of the Rewards Trader and Thok, Master of Dungeoneering. You will find him north of the fire.

In the sagas, the Signature Heroes Ariane, Ozan and Sir Owen appear in the game for the first time. The sagas have various skill requirements, but if the player doesn't have these skills, it is still possible to play an abridged version of it. In that version, only a small part of the reward and the storyline will be given, but as the sagas are replayable, it is still possible to come back with the full requirements and get the full reward and storyline. Three's Company requires level 30 in Attack, Magic and Ranged, and is completely available to Free-to-play, while Vengeance requiring level 55 in Agility and Thieving, and Thok It to 'Em requiring level 70 in Strength are available to Members only.

When you talk to him at the camp he says that he remembers chronicling life in Daemonheim for someone. He mentions a collection of journals, being torn apart and scattered across the dungeon. He can't remember exactly for whom he did this, he thinks he did it for "a man". The man for who he did this is possibly Bilrach, which means that Skaldrun might be Grondaban, Bilrach's researcher, as it was detailed in one of the journals, how Grondaban's notes were scattered. Grondaban also vanished after writing one of his notes, which fits well with the curse.

Trivia

 * A "Skald" is a type of ancient Viking poet who wrote and recited legendary or heroic poetry (known as "skaldic poetry") of figures such as kings and gods.
 * When talked in Daemonheim, there is an option that allows you to ask him what is at the bottom of Daemonheim, to which he responds that he won't tell because of "Spoilers, my boy, spoilers!". ("Spoilers, dear Lady, spoilers!" if you have a female character).
 * The frozen Skaldrun makes a cameo appearance in Thok It To 'Em, in which Thok sees the strange block of ice but decides that it "no interest Thok", and so leaves it alone.
