Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Pardon me. Do you have time to spare? 'Many have come to witness the celebrations and left their steeds in our care. These weary horses have seen much travel and need people to look after them. With how hectic things have been, we do not have enough stable-hands. There are a few horses around the stable that need grooming, and others that deserve treats for good behaviour. We would appreciate the help -- if you do not mind, of course. 'There are crates at the back of the stables with equipment and apples.' Background The festival has filled up the city stables of Minas Tirith with horses from all over, and the stable-hands are overwhelmed.
