Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Within the walls of Barad Gúlaran you will find many enemies. One enemy in particular concerns me and intrigues me more than any other. I know we must destroy the keeper of Barad Gúlaran, but the servants who have walked the halls for ages intrigue me more. 'Clad in ancient iron, those spirits from the Shadow keep an eternal watch over the former home of the Witch-king. 'I wish to study the armour and determine how these creatures were able to manifest themselves in such a way. perhaps there is a way we can defeat them without bringing forth our swords and arrows. 'Enter Barad Gúlaran and collect twelve pieces of the armour so I may sate my curiosity and discover a weakness to these creatures.' Background Danger lurks within Barad Gúlaran and Uidon, an Elf dispatched to the north to support those sent there by the Council of Esteldín, wishes to examine the armour worn by the fell spirits within the citadel. You must smite the defenders and warriors within Barad Gúlaran to obtain the armour. Objective 1 Collect Fragments of Ancient Armour (0/12) Ancient armour wreathes terrifying creatures within Barad Gúlaran. Collect these items and return them to Uidon at the encampment in the northeastern area of Angmar. Uidon asked you to obtain samples of the armour worn by the defenders within Barad Gúlaran so he might learn a weakness to better defeat them. Make your way into Barad Gúlaran, with the assistance of others and collect the samples. Objective 2 Return to Uidon Ancient armour wreathes terrifying creatures within Barad Gúlaran. Collect these items and return them to Uidon at the encampment in the northeastern area of Angmar. Uidon asked you to obtain samples of the armour worn by the defenders within Barad Gúlaran so he might learn a weakness to better defeat them. Make your way into Barad Gúlaran, with the assistance of others and collect the samples. Uidon: 'I am pleased to see that you are hale and whole, <name>. I am pleased greater still that you acquired such fine specimens. I shall begin my research immediately. 'You have earned much thanks from myself and others, <class>. Accept this token, though it is a pittance compared to all you do it is what we can spare.'
