Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

'Hm... yes, it must be so. <name>, the survey expedition cannot continue. The risk is too great. I am sending the surveyors back.

'But you and I? Well, a few may do what many may not. These Orcs spoke of a deal made, you said? I wonder, what could it be?

'Stay close. If we become separated, use this whistle. To the Orcs it will sound like the call of a bird.'

Background

Objective 6

Meet Hórin back at Skarháld

You should meet Hórin back at Skarháld.

Hórin: 'I keep an eye on you, <class>. You have worked hard, but the promise of some of our wealth is yet beyond reaching. Do you sneak away, to see at fortunes elsewhere, I wonder? Or do you remain at my side?

'Stay or go, my troubles are the same. Something must be done about these strange and wild orcs.'
