Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Nay, take this evil thing...I can bear it no longer! My apologies, friend, but the sense of this thing is too much likened to the terror of Rammas Deluon. I cannot bear its presence. 'But I know now the secret of the stones of Rammas Deluon. It is no spell that grants the statues such power, but a fell spirit of an elder Age, such as those that inhabit the wights which serve Angmar. This stone-heart was prepared to receive such a spirit. 'Perhaps this heart may be made to draw forth such a spirit from another stone. It may be a clue to breaking the will of the watching-stones! Take this stone-heart to the ancient watching-stone which stands near the eastern pass of Ram Dúath to the east of here, not far from Bail Róva, a fortress of the Angmarim.' Background Corunir reacted strangely to the presence and touch of the stone-heart, recoiling from it in terror. He told you that the heart had been prepared to receive a fell spirit from an elder Age, similar to those that inhabit the wights which serve Angmar. Objective 1 Defeat the spirit of the ancient watching-stone The ancient watching-stone is near the eastern pass of Ram Dúath, near Bail Róva, east of Aughaire. Corunir believes that the stone-heart may be able to draw forth the fell spirit from another watching-stone and has asked you to test his theory upon an ancient watching-stone which guards the passes of Ram Dúath. Corunir: 'Take the stone-heart to the ancient watching-stone at Ram Dúath. It may give you the advantage you need to defeat he spirit of the stone.' You use the Ancient Watching-stone Defeated the spirit of the ancient watching-stone Objective 2 Talk to Corunir Corunir is at the Hillman-village of Aughaire, west of Bail Róva. With the spirit of the ancient watching-stone defeated, you should return to Corunir with the news of hope. Corunir: 'You vanquished the spirit? How your victory heartens me, <name>. It gives me hope that we may yet succeed!'
