Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

'In truth, little Man, Ringhul was good to send you to me. I am sore-pressed by my distant kin. I should not hide the truth from you. My kin have begun to come down from the mountains, bringing with them anger and war!'

'I am beset, for their deeds are evil, and I refuse to join them. Will you help me? Perhaps then I may be of greater service to you.'

Background

Elf-scouts spotted giants moving out of the Misty Mountains, where Ringhul fears they may threaten Arifael, a giant who has been friendly to Elves over the years.

Objective 1

Talk to Arifael

Arifael, a giant and friend to the Elves, may be in danger at his home on the slopes of Amon Nendir, south of the High Moor.

Arifael has asked you for aid against his distant kinsmen from the mountains

Arifael: 'I hear them approach even now. If little folk like you can fight, make yourself ready!'

Objective 2

Defend Arifael

Giant Rock-thrower says, "Join us, brother. The Iron Crown is too strong to resist."

You have saved Arifael

Arifael says, I thank you, little ones. My kin are not welcome out of the mountains.'

Objective 3

Talk to Arifael

Arifael says, "You have my thanks, little Man. I am saddened to have to resort to such violence to defend myself from my own kinsmen, but I cannot allow their evil to spread down from the mountains.'

'Our deeds were good. Do not fret, little one.'
