Bestowal Dialogue

'My brothers Erchar and Herion are fine warriors, though a bit rash in their decisions.

'We defended Linhir valiantly but the constant watch left us tired. Like brothers often do, we fall to quarreling. I was convinced by Aragorn's word that defending Linhir would be the best use of our skills. Erchar disagreed and convinced Herion that staying in Linhir was a fool's errand. He wanted to take the enemy by surprise. In an instant of protest, both Erchar and Herion took their forces into the field.

'I am afraid they may have met with slaughter. <name>, would you ride out to the west and look for any signs of them? They may still be alive. Search for Erchar first. You will need to convince him to return before Herion will follow.'

Background

Garvir is concerned for his brothers Erchar and Herion. He sends you west to track down Erchar, the oldest of the three.

Objective 1

Erchar and Herion were last seen riding out to the fields in the western part of Dor-en-Ernil.

You should search for signs of a conflict.

There was indeed a battle here and many Gondorian warriors were slain, but it appears some escaped death

Objective 2

  • Examine the set of footprints

The ground shows signs of a conflict between Gondorians and Corsairs.

You should examine the prints at the edge of the battleground.

Objective 4

Erchar: 'I am thankful for your timing traveller, as our numbers are few.'
You explain that Garvir sent you and that Linhir needs the strength of all three brothers to protect the city.
'I may have made a mistake taking Herion and myself out to this slaughter. The Corsair numbers are much greater than I anticipated. We were quickly ambushed and those of us who survived fled into the wilds. My men's spirits are quite low. Perhaps you would be able to lift them?'
