Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

'Ah, purple. From the lighter hues of the Anorloth blossom to the dark lushness of an encroaching twilight, purple is always a popular choice among my customers.

'Fireflies prefer watery places and tall grasses. Those of the amethyst variety, however, can only be found in a lake called the Grimwater, in Ered Luin. Take care that you do not stumble upon the nearby Dourhand Dwarves. They are a rather... well, grim, bunch.

'Fill these lanterns for me with the little darlings, would you? And do come right back, they needn't be kept trapped for longer than is necessary.'
