Bestowal dialogue
'You have seen the state of Walstow...I am certain that you can tell that things look grim for us.
'The crofters cannot even approach their fields, and the Orcs have set up camps to the north and south, effectively blocking us from any dealings with Snowbourn.
'The crofters are losing hope, and I blame them not. If you would, please speak with them. You have given so many in the Sutcrofts hope already...to see that in my own people again would be so inspiring, even if only for today.'
