Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue

'Caebar left us to make his own way in the world. He could have returned when war seemed unavoidable, but instead he left his mother to fend for herself. Poor Sirdis is fortunate that her brother was here to take care of her, and the rest of the town did what we could.

'Where was Caebar when the skies turned dark and the sun never rose? He was away in the White City, feasting and drinking fine wine while the rest of us suffered! He spared not a thought for Ethring, and now when things are good he wants to return? Let him try, that's what I say. We have not forgotten.'

Background

Caebar has returned to his hometown of Ethring at the King's direction, but the homecoming is not a pleasant one.

Objective 1

Talk to Caebar at the entrance of Ethring

Caebar has returned home to Ethring, but it is not a pleasant homecoming.

Uilin: 'Where was Caebar when the skies turned dark and the sun never rose? He was away in the White City, feasting and drinking fine wine while the rest of us suffered! He spared not a thought for Ethring, and now when things are good he wants to return? Let him try, that's what I say. We have not forgotten.'

Caebar: 'It is true that I left home before war seemed certain, but how could I have known how bad things would get? I worried about home every day...'

Caebar casts his eyes to the ground.

'I should have come back before now. My family and my friends had to endure the darkness Sauron sent before his armies, just as I did, but they had to do it without the armies of Minas Tirith near at hand. I understand why Uilin is upset. I should go to see my mother, <name>. Our house... her house... is to the north, across the bridge and to the right.'

Objective 2

Find the home of Caebar's mother, Sirdis

Caebar's mother's house is to the north across the bridge and to the right, in the village of Ethring, in King's Gondor.

Caebar: 'I should have come back before now. My family and my friends had to endure the darkness Sauron sent before his armies, just as I did, but they had to do it without the armies of Minas Tirith near at hand. I understand why Uilin is upset. I should go to see my mother, <name>. Our house... her house... is to the north, across the bridge and to the right.'

Objective 3

Talk to Carlong in front of Sirdis's house

Carlong blocks the way into the home of Caebar's mother, Sirdis.

Carlong: 'She doesn't want to see you, Caebar. You had better find somewhere else to go.'

Carlong looks at you appraisingly.

'You're with the new King, just as Caebar seems to be? You can keep moving, same as my nephew. We here in Ethring know the Elves [Elf: your kind] are behind putting this Elessar on the throne, and we're not going to let them [Elf: you] interfere with life in the Ringló Vale. When Caebar left, it broke his mother's heart... but it broke again when he became a puppet of the Elves [Elf: Elves like you]. She doesn't want to see him.'

Objective 4

Talk to Caebar outside his mother's house in Ethring, in King's Gondor

Caebar stands outside his mother's house in Ethring, in King's Gondor.

Carlong: 'She doesn't want to see him.'

Caebar: 'My uncle Carlong may be right about me, but he is wrong about the King. King Elessar is a good man, and he wants what is best for Gondor!

'I don't have time to be upset about this, <name>. I was given a task by my King, and I am going to see it done. Let us do what we can for the folk of Ethring, and perhaps my mother and my uncle will see that King Elessar is not a pawn of the Elves or of anyone else!'

Objective 5

Speak with the townspeople of Ethring (0/3)

Caebar wants you to listen to the concerns of Ethring's villagers.

Caebar: 'I don't have time to be upset about this, <name>. I was given a task by my King, and I am going to see it done. Let us do what we can for the folk of Ethring, and perhaps my mother and my uncle will see that King Elessar is not a pawn of the Elves or of anyone else!'

Carlong: 'You should just return to your King, and take Caebar with you. This is no longer his home.'

Objective 6

Talk to Caebar outside his mother's house in Ethring, in King's Gondor

Caebar stands outside his mother's house in Ethring, in King's Gondor.

Carlong: 'You are not wanted here, and neither is my nephew.'

Hard-eyed Ethring Resident: She stares at you with cold eyes, and refuses to say anything.

Murmuring Ethring Resident: He murmurs that the best way to help Ethring is for you to leave.

Silent Ethring Resident: She glares at you suspiciously, and says nothing.

Caebar: 'Did anyone... did anyone want our help, <name>?'

Caebar appears more defeated than you have ever seen him, and you ask what has happened.

'I told my uncle I would leave, if that is what my mother truly wants, but that I would like to retrieve some of the sketches I had left inside when I departed for Minas Tirith. He said... he said when I was gone, my mother burned them all.'

Caebar sighs heavily, and raises his head.

'There is nothing left for me here, and the King and Queen have not arrived. We should move on to Calembel. The King said he might rejoin us in Lamedon.'

Objective 7

Travel to the entrance of Calembel in Lamedon, King's Gondor

Travel to the entrance of Calembel in Lamedon, King's Gondor

Caebar: 'There is nothing left for me here, and the King and Queen have not arrived. We should move on to Calembel. The King said he might rejoin us in Lamedon.'

Carlong: 'It is for the best that Caebar move on. His mother already has... she was forced to do so when he departed.'

Objective 8

Talk to Garthaben south of Calembel, in King's Gondor

Garthaben calls excitedly to you south-east of the entrance to Calembel.

Garthaben: 'The King and Queen have come to Calembel! It is true, they are here with their entire retinue! I saw them going to speak with Galengam!

'Look for his shop to the north-west, inside the city, and you might catch a glimpse of them. Imagine that: the King and Queen, here in Lamedon! I never would have expected them to travel so far from Minas Tirith, and yet I saw them with my own eyes!'

Objective 9

Enter Galengam's Divine and Delicate Draughts in the south-west corner of Calembel, in King's Gondor

Galengam's Divine and Delicate Draughts is in the south-west corner of Calembel, in King's Gondor.
