Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'Here is the plan. We are going to enter Thyrstáth, request an audience with the ice-giant chieftain, and attempt to sway them over to the side of the Gabil'akkâ. I am more warrior than diplomat, but I will do what I can! Keep your guard up in the even this goes poorly. 'But <name>? Try not to start a fight... unless we really need one.' Background It is time to see if your efforts have earned you enough favour to convince the ice-giants to join your side against the Orcs and hobgoblins. Objective 1 Talk to Hórin outside the main keep of Thyrstáth and go with him to conduct some diplomacy Hórin is standing by outside the main keep of Thyrstáth. You should talk to Hórin and engage in some dwarf-diplomacy by completing 'Instance: The Giant's Den'. Hórin: 'Well, here goes nothing!' Completed: Instance: The Giant's Den Objective 2 Talk to Hórin inside the keep of Thyrstáth You and Hórin have found a hiding spot in a storage area in Thyrstáth. You should talk to Hórin. Hórin: 'I may have been wrong about most giants having honourable natures... that was downright duplicitous! It is time to go on the offensive! If they want to ally with the Frost-horde and the Angmarim, well, they have declared themselves our enemies. And let them regret it!' Objective 3 Complete 'Frost-horde Allies' for Hórin Complete 'Treasures of the Ancient Dwarves' for Hórin Complete 'Gifts of Persuasion' for Hórin The ice-giants have allied themselves with the Frost-horde, and must be persuaded otherwise... by force if necessary. You should complete objectives in Thyrstáth with Hórin. Completed 'Frost-horde Allies' Completed 'Treasures of the Ancient Dwarves' Completed 'Gifts of Persuasion' Objective 4 Call Hórin and talk to him You have disrupted the enemy forces in Thyrstáth. You should talk to Hórin. Hórin: 'We've done enough here. Let's leave, and quickly, before more hobgoblins, or giants, or Angmarim come looking for us.' Objective 5 Talk to Klúso west of Bazan-medan OR (Optional) Talk to Hórin to quickly return to Klúso You have done what you can to disrupt the ice-giants in Thyrstáth. You should return to Klúso near Bazan-medan. Hórin: 'Come, let's return to Klúso. He's probably worried about us!' Klúso: '<name>! I was about to come looking for you! What happened?' You tell Klúso about the ice-giants' trap, and you assault on Thyrstáth with Hórin. 'Ah. So much for diplomacy! It changes little. What is one more enemy to defeat before we can reclaim Gundabad? But there is this too: should we be worried about that staff falling back into the hands of the Angmarim?' Objective 6 Call Hórin and talk to him Hórin can be called to your side with the summoning horn. You should talk to Hórin. Hórin: 'Klúso is correct. For the Angmarim to so intently pursue that staff means you were right to keep it from them. All we can do now is continue up the mountain, and hope we can track it down again.'
