Bestowal Dialogue
'This was once an impressive city, and a thriving centre of trade. If I close my eyes I can almost see it! I have always had a vivid imagination... you could ask anyone who knows me, and they will tell you it is true!
'Can I ask you to slay the Orcs that now crawl within Tharbad? I would like to do what I can to restore the city to the way it was, though it prove impossible. I would also ask you to climb the northernmost section of the Great Bridge that once spanned the river, and to look out over the city. Then you can describe to me what you see, and my imagination will fill in the rest!'
Background
Caron has a vivid imagination, and she can picture what Tharbad looked like during its height.
Objective 1
- Find the northern part of the Great Bridge for Caron
- Defeat Orcs in Tharbad (0/8)
Caron has asked you to defeat Orcs, who have no place in Tharbad as once it was. She also wants you to look from the northern piece of the Great Bridge that still stands above the water, and tell her what you see.
- Caron 'Can I ask you to slay the Orcs that now crawl within Tharbad? I would like to do what I can to restore the city to the way it was, though it prove impossible. I would also ask you to climb the northernmost section of the Great Bridge that once spanned the river, and to look out over the city. Then you can describe to me what you see, and my imagination will fill in the rest!'
- This is the part of the Great Bridge from which Caron wanted you to look
- Look out over the flooded city from the northern piece of the Great Bridge
- For Caron's benefit, you look out over the flooded city from this vantage point
Objective 2
- Talk to Caron on the river-bank west of Tharbad
Caron is west of Tharbad, on the banks of the river.
- Caron 'You did what you could to clear the Orcs from Tharbad? I appreciate it, <name>. Now, tell me what you saw from atop the Great Bridge!'
- You describe the view to Caron as best you can, and she closes her eyes, allowing your words to flow over her. At last she opens them and smiles.
- 'I could almost see it as it was, so many years ago: no Orcs at all! The city was full of craftsmen, and waggons lumbered across the span, carrying goods for distant lands. It was a thriving centre of trade, back then. Oh, to have lived during those years! My imagination will have to suffice.
- 'Thank you for this, my friend. Take this reward, though it cannot compare to what you have given me!'
