Bestowal Dialogue
Radagast has travelled to the Woodmen village of Hultvís and seeks your assistance with strange shadows that have appeared along the River Gladden. Many Woodmen have noticed an eerie gloom near the entrance to the Gladdenmere. They came to Radagast seeking answers, and you should speak with him in Hultvís as soon as you are able.
Background
Radagast has travelled to the Woodmen village of Hultvís, seeking your assistance with strange shadows lurking in the Gladden Fields.
Objective 1
Radagast can be found at Hultvís.
You should talk to Radagast.
- Radagast: '<name>, dear friend, you have done much to help my home and those in my care among the Vales of Anduin. I need your help once more! Something seeps into the soil from the lake of Gladdenmere, and although I cannot tell what may be the cause, I can feel a deadly darkness all about it. The ruin of an old dwarf mine rests along the side of the lake, abandoned now for almost an age. '
- 'The Beorning Varthmath knows a fair amount about dwarf-made structures, and of course my old friend and ally Gandalf is sure to have an opinion on the subject...more than one, i daresay! Look for him at the Beorninghús. After you have sought out the both of them, meet me in the Gladden Fields. Very well? Very well'
Objective 2
Varthmath and Gandalf can be found at the Beorninghús.
- Varthmath: 'The Gladdenmere, you say? I thought the path to that vale was blocked by a rock slide, and we were better off for it; it is not a welcoming place. The old dwarf mine of Kidzul-kâlah stands there, they say, long-abandoned. Meet me on the mountain path that leads toward Kidzul-kâlah when you are able. There is an old dwarf-dock there where we can meet.'
- Gandalf: 'Radagast has been quite busy lately, assisting both Elves and Woodmen with their various troubles in Eryn Lasgalen and in the Vales. I will speak with him at once if you say he wishes it.'

- 'I am sorry for what I have done! I was a fool to trust Sauruman. look at the destruction he has caused, and indeed I am partly responsible for the damage his machines have caused here in the Gladden Fields! And the trap into which you walked, all unawares... it was I that sent you into it! Will you ever forgive me for that, my old friend?'
- 'I wish to right these wrongs, Gandalf. And I will begin here in the Vales of Anduin!'

Gandalf can be found on the northern edge of the Gladden Fields.

I say we learn all that we can of this place, and then return with our report for Grimbeorn.'
