Magnus, Harrow, Bedokkans, and Mithril Ore

I've got a couple questions, so listen up!

1) Now I've heard about 100 times that Magnus belongs to the Iron Clan, and is related to the Iron Key to open the Iron Vault in the Zoological thingmajig in Tarant, and in there there's probably something related to the Hidden Iron Clan revealed by the Book of Durin's Truth. So, my question is, how does one make the Iron Key? Schematics? Quest? What? And where?

2) What's the deal with Harrow?! Magnus would even use a Railroad Spike over the powerful dwarven axe.

3) What's this Bedokkan Quest about Poachers and whatnot? How do I find out about the quest?

4) Where might I find some Mithril Ore? I'm dying to see what Bronwyck's Gun is.

 

1)The Iron key schematics will be given to you by a dwarf in the Wheel clan who wants you to find the Iron clan burial ground. It takes mythril and a heartstone I think. Heartstones can be found near the Bedokaan village, I only found two so don't waste them- one for the Iron key and one if you want to get a blessing from Bedokaan god (+1 DX)
2)Weapon preferences of the followers are a real mystery to me. So is Harrow actually. Its supposed to deal increased damage in the hands of a dwarf with good alignment, but as far as I know the pyro axe is still much better.
3)You get the Bedokaan quest in Quintarra from an elf who is worried about a disappeared hunter. The hunter is being held in the village of the Bedokaan lizardmen. They're pissed off at all "warm bloods" because some poachers are hunting them down for their skins. In the village you can take a quest from a Bedokaan leader to kill all poachers, or (at least that's what I heard) you can talk him out of declaring a total war on all warm bloods. If you manage to talk him out you can get a lizard follower who is an expert in bow and melee, and that's what I'm working on. I wonder if CH16 and maximum persuasion will work...
4)You can steal some mythril ore from the junk dealer in Dernholm (a smaller chest), from a tech blacksmith in Tarant (also a smaller chest) or you can buy some in the Wheel clan. I wasn't impressed with the Bronwyck's gun, or at least with its unpatched version: damage 1-25 fire damage, 1-4 normal damage, a range of 15 I think and a speed of 11. Its basically a faster but weaker flamethrower.

 

As detailed by Solaris, Schematics. A fate point will get the impatient into the chest. There are 5 heartstones, in an arc, just off the village map. The first is above the pit, the last to the east & south of the king.

Harrow, IMHO, just sucks. Magnus thinks so too. So does Loghare.

When you talk to the lizzard king, you will get a quest to kill the poachers. They have an Elephant Gun BTW. IIRC, to talk him out of war, 3+ persuasion is needed, so you should have no problems, Solaris.

There is also a sheet in a barrel in the Blackroot general store, & the shopkeeper sometimes gets stuck on the wrong side of bed, making it simple to pilfer. The gun is a good one, but not great. It requires little ST, & is a one hander. Cool firing graphics as well.

 

Once I had a dwarf with 100 alignment an 20 strength and Harrow was more powerful than a PyroAxe! And I could reach 21 strength yet! But when you check the damage yu do with it in the dagger icon at the left side of your body inventory, it says 0-0... ???
