What the quest giver says.

‹name›, ‹class› and ‹race› stand for your character’s.

To fully utilize the potential of the Earth-Warder's forge, you must learn the basics of creating Obsidian Seared Alloy. Only then can you follow in the footsteps of Neltharion's greatest smiths. Bring me a piece of Crystallized Draconium found deep within the Cindershard Seam. Then I shall gift you the knowledge you desire.
