Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'A summons arrived here by raven this morning, <name>, calling you to the House of Elrond, far to the east. I do not know why Elrond Halfelven requests your presence, but it must be for an errand of some urgency if he sends ravens on the wing here to Echad Garthadir. 'Does the Elf-lord have need now for the strength of the Race of Men? That friendship was never sundered, tested though it be by the passage of Time. 'You will find the House of Elrond far to the east, in the hidden vale of Rivendell, beyond the Trollshaws.' Background The Men of the West have long stood against the Shadow, and their courage is needed once again. Objective 1 Talk to Elrond in Rivendell Elrond is in the library of his house in Rivendell.

'A small company will soon be setting forth on a mission of great secrecy to combat this growing dark; I am loathe to speak in detail of their errand, but know that it will do great hurt to the Enemies of this Age if they succeed. 'The fate of the Race of Men concerns you closely, <name>, and I know that you are trustworthy. Two doughty Men prepare to set forth on this perilous journey; lend them your assistance as they prepare to leave. I speak of Aragorn son of Arathorn and Boromir of Gondor. Look for them in one of the guest rooms along the road that winds up the southern slope of the Vale of Imladris.' Objective 2 Help Boromir with his preparations Help Aragorn with his preparations Aragorn and Boromir can be found in one of the guest rooms along the road that winds up the southern slope of the Vale of Imladris. Elrond has asked that you help your fellow Men, Aragorn son of Arathorn and Boromir of Gondor, prepare to leave on their dangerous -- and secret -- mission. Objective 3 Talk to Elrond in Rivendell Elrond is in his library within the Last Homely House, in Rivendell.
