Nordic circlet

Hugin Ice-Shaper

This quest will be added to your journal the first time you obtain a Nordic Amulet, Nordic Circlet, or Nordic Ring. A Certificate of Authenticity will be automatically added to your inventory, and you will be directed to read it to progress the quest.

Nordic jewelry can be found in the world as random loot. Alternatively, all general goods and jewelry merchants will have these items available for sale, so the quickest method may be to purchase a piece from them. For example, in Riften you can purchase Nordic jewelry from the Pawned Prawn or from Madesi's stall in Riften Grand Plaza. Note that these items are all relatively pricey given that they're pieces of jewelry.

Once you've obtained your first piece of Nordic jewelry, read the certificate to learn that the creator of the jewelry is a craftsman named Hugin Ice-Shaper who can be found on Solstheim.

Stalhrim Lapidary

Travel to Solstheim and you will be directed to a spot west of Raven Rock, in the ash wastes just north of the Earth Stone. There you will find two hostile reavers (a melee fighter and an archer) standing over the body of Hugin. Dispense with them both and loot the melee reaver for three powerful enchanted items: a leveled Nordic Amulet of Health, a leveled Nordic Circlet of Magicka, and a leveled Nordic Ring of Stamina. You can then locate and read Hugin Ice-Shaper's Notebook to learn how to craft Nordic jewelry.

To complete the quest, you will need to craft a piece of Nordic jewelry yourself. Be sure to grab the required components from the satchel next to the body: three samples of stalhrim and three quicksilver ingots. Head back into town and find a forge in order to craft the jewelry of your choice and finish the quest.

Notes

• This quest was originally added to your journal automatically upon installing the Nordic Jewelry Creation. You would then be directed to Riften to purchase a Nordic jewelry item, although obtaining the jewelry via any other method would also progress the quest. This was changed with the Anniversary Edition update, and the quest now only starts once you have already obtained a Nordic jewelry item.
• The quest can also be started by simply approaching Hugin Ice-Shaper's corpse on Solstheim.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage ccEDHSSE001_CraftsmanEncounterQuest stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest ccEDHSSE001_CraftsmanEncounterQuest.
