Bestowal Dialogue

'My King! My King! Who has done this to you?'

Background

The King has been wounded!

You can return to The Harlond in Flames by using the banner east of the Beacon-gate, in Umbar Baharbêl.

Objective 1

  • Talk to King Elessar in the graveyard and learn how he was wounded

King Elessar lies in the graveyard, wounded. What happened while you were away?

Borndir: 'What treacherous snake has dared harm the King?'
King Elessar: King Elessar grimaces with pain, and blood trickles from beneath his chestplate.
'<name>, my friend... heed my words...
'It was Aphadaer... my groom of horses...
'He stood close by... and whispered in my ear. "For the Heirs of Castamir!" hissed he, and his knife found a gap... in the plates of my armour.
'He must have been... the traitor we suspected...'
Elessar laughs quietly, but the action causes him pain.
'I thought such a one... would be higher in my counsels...'
Aphadaer will seek to join Balakhâd by the Heirsworn ship moored at the docks!

Objective 2

Aphadaer ran for the docks, intending to join Balakhâd and be rewarded for the death of King Elessar.

Tatháta: 'We must end this. Now.'
Borndir: 'What treacherous snake has dared harm the King? If this worm thinks to join his master, he will make for the Heirsworn ship moored at the docks!'
You have encountered Tatháta by the docks. She may have seen Aphadaer

Objective 3

Tatháta is by the northern docks of the burning Harlond, near the flagship of the Song.

Tatháta: 'We must end this. Now.'
You ask Tatháta if she has seen Aphadaer, the man you pursued to the docks.
'He is just ahead,' she responds. 'But he is no one. We must put an end to his masters.'
