Bestowal dialogue

'There is one small problem, though, my friend. After all, I could not sail a ship through Moria!

'I have prepared a few designs by which to build a ship, but I am short a few materials I need. Unfortunately, those Orcs over by Durin's Stone—the disrespectful lot they are—are currently in possession of my planks of ilex wood. Why don't you drive them off and collect some of that wood? Once that is done, I think we'll have all the tools we need to build a ship, and quite a bit less to worry about once we're out on the Mirrormere! After all, we don't want an errant Orc-arrow piercing our sails!

'Go on, my friend. There is no time to waste!'

Background

Description Byrski Hardprow has offered to seek out Durin's Crown in the Mirrormere, hoping it might herald an auspicious end to the Iron Garrison's reclamation of Khazad-dûm.

Objective 1

Objective 2

Byrski Hardprow can be found at Mekhem-bizru in the Dimrill Dale.
You have collected a number of planks of ilex wood and driven off many of the Orcs at Uruk-gashan. You should return to Byrski Hardprow.

Byrski Hardprow: 'I think that will do nicely! Now then, why don't you do the honours? No, no, I insist.
'You are a skilled Mariner, after all! I am certain you can build a suitable ship for our expedition.
'Well then, I'll stand back and let you get to it!'

'Nevertheless, I thank you for your help, my friend. You have done the Iron Garrison a great service, and I will make certain that Brogur—and Bósi, of course—know of the Mariner who allowed us to find Durin's Crown. Let us hope it means that the reclamation of Khazad-dûm will soon be finished!'
