Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue You come across an old Gondorian artifact buried in the rubble. It looks to be an item left over from when these towers were last occupied by men, and worth preserving. Background You find some Gondorian artifacts buried in the rubble of the lower levels within the Towers of the Teeth Objective 1 Collect Gondorian Artifacts (1/5) The Towers of the Teeth are located in the Slag-hills. You should collect Gondorian artifacts scatterd around the towers. Objective 2 Talk to Thurindol can be found at a small Ranger outpost hidden in the Slag-hills. You should bring the artifacts you collected to Thurindol. Thurindol: 'I am not an historian by any means, but my conclusion is the same a syolurs - these are indeed very old. I will make arrangements for these to be transported to Minas Tirith, if and when the opportunity should arise.'
