Bestowal dialogue

'This winter has been cruel to my kind, <name>. When Núrzum came, many of the Ents remained still in slumber, but those of us that walked among the trees were faced with a great foe of our kind.

'The trees screamed to us for help. I hear their cries still... they did not understand. And Núrzum... we were so few, we could do nothing to stop him. We fled into the forest. All of us, save for Duskleaf. Hom. Such hasty decisions are unbefitting, I think, but he went forth. Núrzum struck him down, but his ending did not come. He fled into the forest and has avoided all of us since.

'I would ask that you try to convince our friend to return. Núrzum must be dealt with in time, and we will need all of our kind to stand against him. If Duskleaf is to be found, I would guess he is near the Enting Hollow, little one.'

Background

Nindorn has sent you in search of his lost friend, Duskleaf, and hopes to have him join in his journey to Stonecliff.

Objective 1

Duskleaf can be found somewhere near the Enting Hollow in northeastern Balewood

Sharp creaking pierces the silence as an Ent lumbers forth

Objective 2

  • Talk to Duskleaf

Duskleaf can be found at the Enting Hollow

Duskleaf has appeared from the shadows, and you should now speak with him and try to convince him to rejoin the other Ents.

Duskleaf: 'Hoom. Another little one come to hack at my branches...?
'You dare speak to me of rejoining the others? Hom. It matters not where we choose to plant ourselves if nothing is to be done. This forest is dead.
They... they are too weak to act! Hoom, but I am not! I am wont to smother any invader of these woods beneath the snow!'

Objective 3

  • Defeat Duskleaf

Duskleaf can be found at the Enting Hollow

Duskleaf is attacking! Defend yourself!

Duskleaf says, "I shall bury you as he buried us!"
Defeated Duskleaf

Objective 4

Nindorn can be found in northern Balewood

You have defeated the maddened Duskleaf. You should bring these ill tidings to Nindorn.

Maddened by the pain Núrzum inflicted, Duskleaf was beyond saving. You must tell Nindorn what has happened
Nindorn: 'So he was lost... to madness. Tragic, my friend...
'Núrzum's rampage hewed his mind long ago then... hom. You made the only choice you could, little one.
'As impatient as Quickbeam that one was, but bold nonetheless... I will miss him greatly. Thank you for telling me of these happenings, <name>... I will return to Barallas now.'
Nindorn begins his journey back to Baralls and the others
