This is one of three houses available in Detyre. The other two, House of Valor and Sandstone Villa, involve separate house questlines. To start this quest, head towards the western side of Detyre in the northern section of The Hollowlands to find the Motus Mining Outpost.
Miners in the Sand
This quest activates after the Bloodbane quest is complete. Bloodbane can be started by speaking with Capstan Odvar inside the Motus Mining Outpost.
[list type=bullet]
- Speak with Apule Vire to start the Miners in the Sand quest. He is outside of the Motus Mining Outpost.
- Find and speak with Calovar. He is located southwest of Apule Vire across the bridge and up the hill to the right.
- Go to Aron Excavations Mine.
- Find Edgar Aron inside the mine and retrieve Calovar’s Relic. Note: Persuasion worked very well on Aron.
- Find the 5 lost miners in the desert and release their minds (just talk to them). Miners are located on your map.
- Return to Apule Vire to complete the Miners in the Sand quest.
Rewards
[list type=bullet]
- Gold
- Mine and group of miners who earn you gold while you’re out adventuring. Mine can be expanded to maximize profits.
- Aron Excavations Office (house) with upgrades available (Sagecraft Altar and Blacksmithing Forge).
Final Notes
This house is nearly perfect. Easy access (compared to Sagemaster’s Quarters in Rathir), Sagecraft Altar and Blacksmithing Forge through upgrades, continuous gold earning through mining labor and the quest is relatively simple to complete. The only thing missing is an Alchemy table.

Ok i finished this quest, and for some unkown reason i did not receive a house or the mining company that was mentioned in this. Any advice?
@Tommy – Hi Tommy, what happens when you talk to the gnome outside the excavations house? Does he not offer you upgrade options? Can you enter the house? Were any of the NPC’s dead or unavailable during the quest? I’ll do my best to figure it out, just need some more info to gauge what’s going on.
hey tommy srry to barge in chief, sometimes it glitchs and does tell you tht you got it. i still havnt figured out the glitch but its happened to me once or twice.
@blake – Thanks for the heads up, hopefully this helps others experiencing the glitch.
