Could this mystery be like The Heroic Human Statue, in that after you send diplos to Duraz Karag you have to send them to certain squares in each direction?

This has been attempted with the elven spirit bow to no avail.  As of right now, I am fairly convinced it has something to do with a map location.  Since all the racial gear is tied together, maybe if we crack one we can crack them all.

Your followers regret that they did not return with any treasure or insight. The ruins of Duraz Karag are so vast, they say, that it must contain some secrets, but they had no clue where they might even start such a search.


D.K. contains some mystery. You are right that it may not be related to the Dwarven Champion's Armor. 

GMs have confirmed Dwarven Champion's Armor is in game and can be found. The closest clue we have about Dwarvin Champion armor is the abandoned Dwarven Fortress of old. 

We have ruled out the Champion Armor being learned through research, like the battle axe. As players have finished researching EVERYTHING and have not yet learned the recipe. 

Maybe someone who has researched all armor could try creating 1 of each armor. would make sense... after making every type of armor in-game you then discover a new type of armor.

I really don't know if DK has anything to do with unlocking the Dwarven Champion Armor.  

My recollection is that DK was released a while before Tv2 was and that Manannan and I did some collaboration trying to crack the cryptic montage.  At that time there were only a few faction cities that you could send diplomats to - something like 8 in total.  

There was at least one such city in the cardinal compass directions: North, South, East, West.

The only one I can recall from memory is the west faction city:   Jarru
All manner of diplomats, caravan laden with goods (at that time only basics resources/weapons, etc no materials/crafted items) were sent to no affect.  I even attempted to claim sovereign on the square because you could park an army on top of the faction hub.  

Also, I have timed advanced spies(125 each group) to hit all 5 squares of DK simultaneously (+/- 15 seconds) of one another.  

~hopefully this will help others move forward with there attempts to solve both mysteries(or one if they are indeed connected)

Also, at DK, there are map features in the adjacent sqs.

How about a relevant land feature in a specific dirrection i.e. a wheat field that is east of DK (or which ever dirrection is gives praise to for wheat.

Good thinking. I've looked over the map and have not located any other dwarven fortresses besides DK, so I am not forsure what else there is that we could interact with.

Quote A plaque in the overgrown marketplace attests to once vibrant commerce: "Give thanks to the east, for Obsidian and fine silks. Give thanks to the west for grain and meat. Give thanks to the north, for Iceheart and oak. Give thanks to the south for spices and fish. All the goods of the world are brought here, by the skill of the Dwarven Clans in obedience to the Artefores."



 

Using the above information I think we can list: 

  • Obsidian
  • Food
  • Iceheart
  • Ancient Oak

The silk, spices, fish, and meat are a little harder to deduce. Here are my guesses: 

  • Spices: Only thing close to spices are either the generic herbs, or the elemental SALTS. 
  • Fish: Some kindof animal part? 
  • Meat: Skins or other animal parts?
  • Silk: spider parts, or maybe crafted armour of some sort?
Silversteel and Iron are also mentioned in the message. So perhaps send those aswell?

I have been thinking to send the ingredients as directed by the mail, I just have not gotten around to it yet. If we list them out here people may try to send it and we can see what happens, it may be the solution. 
If not we move onto something else.
