Once you give her enough items and talk to her about said mission, the dragon shows up there as a hero fight.

Items and units galore as loot! Woohoo!

That fight was bugged for me, the lair was empty, then the Valkyrie asked me to kill the Dragon, a quest marker appeared, but when i started the fight, there were no enemies, the battle ended instantly and i got no gold and xp...
But it did count for the quest, and now it sells stuff...

it worked for me...4 black dragons
still curious what happens when you banish Glaurmur. if I had more time I would do 2 play throughs but unfortunately...

thanks for your comments anyway guys

I tried both options as a lvl 21 Viking on Hard difficulty.

Banishing him nets 5,517xp and about 50k gold (this will vary depending on equipment, awards etc - I have a +5%xp item as well as max learning and the other bonus xp awards)

Dealing with him nets an extra 25k gold and a lvl 5 item for me (the dragon necklace), but only a measly 837xp. It also unlocks the option to trade with him for more items etc

Quite torn about the options at the moment, I always love collecting items and artifacts, but the xp differential is huge...

Edit: just to put it into context, the difference in xp is about 10% of my total xp at lvl 21...
