Acute Mead Shortage

Go to the Mead Valley

Oh, this is terrible...
That accursed Jotunn... crushed the last barrel of fire mead!
Damnation! It was the last one, we can’t get more of it. We had enough for the coming harsh winter.
And what now? Frosts get worse almost every hour! If the Uruns decide to attack under the cover of this blizzard, our Gibberling friends will all freeze and won't be able to fight back.
I don't know what to do! Can you help us somehow...?
You need to go to the Mead Valley... the warmest place on this island where we Heidruns dwell... Maybe the Elder of the Meadmakers can come up with something?

Ah, there you are, {username}...
I swear on my mug, if what Waterlily told you is even partially true, then we're saved... Or at least there's hope.
Let me describe the situation for you - it was our last mead, and the flowers in the valley have already withered - the bees have nothing to collect. And we still have problems with these fire dogs, damn them!
We have no barrels, no ingredients... And even if we had them, brewing mead is not that easy! You don't think we brew it here everyday just for fun, do you?
But if you're such a hero, then you will solve these problems easily, am I right? Am I right?!
