Walkthrough

After starting the quest, the  Sussur Tree Bark can be obtained from the Sussur Tree in the Dread Hollow in the Underdark X: -14 Y: -138.

To forge a weapon, use the blacksmith's bellows to light the furnace in the Whispering Depths / Blighted Village at X: -446 Y: -378. Once lit, Sussur Tree Bark must be combined with the furnace, which turns the flames from red to blue. Finally, using a plain dagger, greatsword, or sickle in the active furnace results in creating a Sussur weapon with +1 enchantment and the ability to silence on hit.
