Bestowal dialogue
Fram was taken aback by his own demeanour. He loathed his unwillingness to mend the rift between the dwarves and the Ai-thúda. When he understood the curse upon him, he made a plan and acted upon it.
Background
Léothred and Fróthi have finally uncovered the truth of how Fram died and who killed him.

Listen to Fróthi and Léothred's tale.

- Fram says, "Karazgar, it is urgent that I talk with you."
- Karazgar says, "My friend, Fram. What can I do for you? We are brothers of the mountain after all."
- Fram says, "Wait, why are there dead dwarves strewn about?!"
- Karazgar says, "I assure you that they were here when I arrived. I am in the midst of investigating this travesty."
- Fram says, "I might have believed you in the past, but I do not believe you this time, Karazgar."
- Fram says, "Enough of your games! I have come here to ask what you have done to me!"
- Fram says, "Why my disdain for the dwarves has only grown ever since we crossed paths!"
- Fram says, "It was never this way!"
- Fram says, "I can not speak certain words in the company of others, as if something pulls me down."
- Fram says, "You have cursed me! Admit it!"
- Karazgar says, "A curse? Such an accusation, my friend!"
- Karazgar says, "I have done nothing that you did not agree to, remember this."
- Karazgar says, "The blood pact was an oath for us both to uphold, afterall."
- Fram says, "The blood pact was a ruse!"
- Karazgar says, "Fram, Fram, my dear friend. I tire of this conversation."
- Karazgar says, "You have served me well, and for that you have served my master's will."
- Karazgar says, "Now, my friend, you are no longer of use to me."
- Karazgar says, "Goodbye, Fram."
- Fram says, "Ugh!"
- Fram says, "How... could... you..."
- Karazgar says, "How could I not?"
- Karazgar says, "I have but one more task for you, Fram. Come, rest your corpse here, surrounded by the dwarves that you have slain."
- Fróthi says, "Make no mistake, Fram was under the influence of a mix of dragon-magic and Gúrzyul powers."
- Fróthi says, "His will was strong to both make that map and to confront Karazgar."
- Léothred says, "Fram was a kind-hearted Man, and Karazgar twisted that strength into a weakness."
Objective 3
Talk to Fróthi.
- Fróthi: 'The bodies of the dwarves were nothing more than another misdirection by the devious Karazgar. He wanted nothing more than to stoke the fires of mistrust in the north.'
- 'If only we had known then what we know now. To think of the added prosperity that both our peoples unknowingly abandoned.'
