Bestowal Dialogue

'By the winter of T.A. 2799, King Thráin and his great reckoning-host, the Haban’akkâ, had made camp at Amdân, the ancient threshold of the kingdom of Khazad-dûm. It had been a long journey, for they had made a wide march around Lórien and come up from the south, treading the old stones of the Great-way.

'All through Amdân, Dwarves of the Seven Houses grew restless. I, like all of the Iron-folk, were camped near to the House of Thráin.

'Although few of us knew it at the time, it was to be the eve of battle.'

Objective 3

Dáin can be found among the Iron-folk at Amdân. You should talk to Dáin.

Dáin: 'Hermáth, my friend! I was beginning to think we lost you on the Great-way!'

Dáin embraces you warmly.

'It is hard to believe that we are here at last. I have read the stories of old Azanulbizar, but none could describe it in such detail.
'It seems fitting that this war should end where it began, don't you think?
'And if what I have heard is true, we will not have to sit idle for much longer!'

Objective 5

  • Talk to Dáin at Amdân

Dáin can be found among the Iron-folk at Amdân. You should talk to Dáin.

'But you, my friend... I suspect you could pass among the others in this great Haban’akkâ without a second glance, even with that hammer of yours!'
