Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue Nogmeldir at Vindurhal in Misty Mountains: '<name>, I have a message for you: Master Elrond requests your presence in Rivendell on a matter of some urgency. His messenger did not reveal the reason for this summons, but its importance cannot be questioned. 'Descend from the mountains and return to the vale of Rivendell that you might speak with Elrond in his house.' OR: Barbethnir outside The Last Homely House: 'Master Elrond wishes to speak with you, <name>, about a matter of some urgency. I do not know what it might be, but I understand that it affects our people directly. 'Go inside and speak with Master Elrond in his library.' Background The shadow of growing evil threatens even the safety of Rivendell, and all of the Free Peoples must come together to defend against it. Objective 1 Talk to Elrond Elrond waits in the library of his house in Rivendell. Elrond Halfelven has summoned you to speak with him on some urgent matter. Barbethnir: 'Go inside the house and speak with Elrond in his library.' Elrond: 'Welcome as always to Imladris, <name>. I am pleased to see you well. 'A small company will soon be setting forth on a mission of great secrecy to combat this growing dark; I am loathe to speak in detail of their errand, but know that it will do great hurt to the Enemies of this Age if they succeed. 'Among this company is a dwarf named Gimli, and an Elf of Mirkwood named Legolas; he is a prince of that folk. They must work together if their errand is to succeed, but for some time Elves and dwarves have been... reticent... to do so. I would have you aid them with their preparations. By your example, I hope they will set aside their differences. 'Look for them in one of the guest rooms along the road that winds up the southern slope of the Vale of Imladris.'
