Don't run off, your character. What are you planning to do with Kromede's Flame there?

You're not going to wear it, are you? Tsk.

I got a better idea. Melt down the Flame, then use it to coat the Tome of the Judge.

It's complicated, but if you want to see how it's done, you'll need to bring me both items.

You've got Kromede's Flame, so you're halfway there. Now you just need the Tome of the Judge.

Fortunately, I can tell you where to get that...if you're interested.

Good choice. You won't regret it. Now, as to that Tome of the Judge....

Word in Morheim is that a little lady you know named Kromede the Corrupt has it. She's in something called the Fire Temple.

If you ask around, I'm sure someone can tell you how to get there.

You think I can't stick a necklace and a book inside a raging flame without destroying both items?

I know that sounds crazy, but I'm not an amateur.

Think about this. I'm sure you'll change your mind.

Did you bring me the Tome of the Judge? All I need is that and Kromede's Flame, and we can proceed as planned.

Don't weep for Kromede.... She's been taken over by grief and hate. She doesn't deserve your compassion anymore.

Now let me just stoke this flame and we'll toss that book in there.... You seem nervous. Is there a problem?

Listen, I'm not just some simple Raider with a few twigs and a big hammer.

Once I took a polearm and I turned it into a dagger, and then back into a polearm. A much smaller polearm, true....

Regardless, I have no doubt I can combine the Tome of the Judge and Kromede's Flame. Come to me with both in your Cube, and I'll prove it to you.

All right! Here we go. First I throw the book in the flames--woosh, there it goes...

Or, wait...does Kromede's Flame go in first? I think I got that backwards. Oh well, too late now. Let's see what happens....

Hey, it worked. It's Kromede's Tome! That's good to know. I'd better write that down for next time.

1. Collect materials to refine the Tome of the Judge and bring them to Walter.

   Tome of the Judge, Kromede's Flame

Walter said he could refine the Tome of the Judge for you using Kromede's Flame.

Walter said Kromede's Flame can be used to reinforce the Tome of the Judge, and asked you to bring him both items.

Contrary to logic, you trusted him and gave him both Kromede's Flame and the Tome of the Judge. Walter somehow managed to not destroy both items, giving you Kromede's Tome.
