Bestowal Dialogue
'I bid you farewell, then, and I will try to master my grief and that of my people. But King Elessar would do well to remember that not all the folk of Gondor are as stern or as cold as the Elves he loves, and if he does not take care his kingdom may slip away. And when it does, if it does, it may not be to the fires of the Corsairs but to the fury of his own people. You tell him that, <name>. He has my loyalty, for I am sworn to Gondor, but these are true words I speak, and he would do well to heed them.'

And when it does, if it does, it may not be to the fires of the Corsairs but to the fury of his own people. You tell him that, <name>.

On my return journey, after we see Anfalas, I will go to the Vale and speak with them personally.'
- Queen Arwen: 'This is the road to Anfalas, <name>, westernmost fief of my husband's kingdom. He has spoken to me of its ruler Golasgil, who marched to the defence of Minas Tirith with a number of soldiers and his household guard.
