Anyway, in the spirit of [or lack of] variety, Darbur decides he likes the cold and the snow. He first journeyed in the Misty Mountains, helping out his fellow dwarves in fighting off snow beasts and worms and the like. He staved off some Nazgul threats with the help of his friend Gloin, ransacked Goblin-town, and met some friends named Floid and Dewitt while exploring the vicinity.
He proceeds to Forochel because, well, because he's already got his snow gear on. And it's spiffy and he loves his scarf. Who says dwarves couldn't have a little fashion sense now and then? As he goes through the various settlements of Forochel, he learns that the Lossoth are not very friendly to outsiders. As in, they purposefully settled in the frigid north so that they wouldn't be bothered. Unfortunately for them, they STILL get bothered. By baddies from Angmar. And Dourhand dwarves. They don't like to admit it, but they need Darbur's help in taking out their enemies.
And that's exactly what he does! Because Darbur is a bro. So, he dons his spiffy coat and scarf and boots, summons his pet flame to keep him company (and warm (although, it doesn't actually provide a warmth buff)), and rides about the vast expanse of Forochel, saving the day one settlement at a time.
After a bit of travelling, he ends up in Suri-kyla, which is essentially the capital of the region. And by capital, I mean Quest Hubs of Quest Hubs. You see, most settlements give Darbur, oh, maybe 4 or so quest lines. He does those quest lines, and he moves on to the next settlement. But when he arrives at Suri-kyla, he accepts not 4, not 8, not 12, but 14 (fourteen!) quests. Wowza. It's like a whole 'nother region. So before he sets off on those quests, he buys a spiffy new cloak to keep him extra warm, and he's on his way. These quests take him everywhere. To the Angmarim keep. To beat up worms and bears at the bay. To the Guaradan camp near Zigilund. To the Kuru-leiri camp (that's on the complete opposite side of the map and it takes like 20 minutes of real time just to get there. argh.). And when he finishes those tasks, he has to go accept the rewards back in Suri-kyla. So, he essentially goes "there and back again."
In one of the camps, he gets a quest to defeat some ice wights at a nearby abandoned dwarf keep. He goes to defeat these ice wights, and finishes his quest. He's on his way back to civilization, when he spots his new friends from the Misty Mountains, Floid and Dewitt! Small world. He hangs out with them for a bit before finishing up everything he has left to do in Forochel.
Unfortunately, Darbur knows he can't stay much longer in Forochel. He still needs to go to Angmar in his Epic Quest. But he will at least be remembered among the Lossoth as a friend and ally.
