Quest Text

'The protective arts with which we ward our groves have become less effective over time, but it is the hope of the Kintai that they will forestall the encroaching darkness long enough for us to discover a lasting solution. We have inscribed runes of guarding and renewal upon boundary stones that must be placed along the perimeter of Vartúlin.

'Will you retrieve some of the boundary stones from the pile across the bridge and set them along the borders of the grove? I will remain with Silirtas until she returns to herself.'

  • Place a boundary stone on the slope to the southern pavilion in Vartúlin

Silirtas: 'I am embarrassed, <name>. At least Thórvilon is a friend, and understands the difficulties I have faced in these past few years. They have become more frequent as Tróthul seeks to claim me, but I will not allow it.
'I am eager to meet the others of your company, for speaking with new folk and having new experiences will help me to stave off Tróthul. It has ever been so, and this adventure seems to me no different.'

Sigileth: 'Yes. We have lent some aid to Thórvilon, now we should continue on to the north-east to rejoin the company. My brother Corudan will be very pleased to meet Silirtas and to learn of her people, as was I.
'I have said our farewells to Thórvilon. Now we should travel to the north, from where we can assess the situation in Kûr Anzar. Silirtas said the Kingdom of Hamât was absorbed by Ordâkh, and the city may not be friendly to us or to the representatives of Umbar we seek to rejoin.'
