Go to the tent at [ZONE_CAMP MALAIR|Marl Outpost] and find the book that biologist [111121|Jacob] requires in the documents scattered there.

What could those little fellas be doing with Giants?

Let's forget the word "Giant" for a moment. You said that just before the scout passed out he said "the earth shakes," "the earth calls," right?

The earth can shake... but the "earth calls?"
Has that scout gone crazy? How can the earth call?

([111121|Jacob] suddenly fixes you with a look.)

Earth... is an element... it's an element.
Dwarves are very close to the elements, especially the element of earth!

Stop staring blankly at me. Hurry to [ZONE_CAMP MALAIR|Marl Outpost] and fetch me a book. There's a rumor written inside. I always thought it was just random scribblings. If the rumor is true, it could explain everything!

The book is called... Dwarf... Rumor? Umm... Dwarf... Earth? Grab anything like that. I'll know it when I see it.

Let me see...
[204466|Dwarf and Dirt] introduces a lot of minerals... that's not it...

That should be [204465|Ice Dwarf Legend]... no, that's not right. It just discusses the stuff that Ice Dwarves like to get up to...

[204467|Dwarf-related Rumor]... Dwarven... Earth Spirits, right, this is the one!

So it wasn't a book after all, but written on a paper scroll. No wonder it took you so long.

Hurry up and help me find that book. I want to know if there's anything to my sudden inspiration.

You'll find the books inside a tent at [ZONE_CAMP MALAIR|Marl Outpost]. Sometimes I go there to discuss the Ice Dwarf situation with [111136|Marl], so a lot of my documents are there.
