Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'I am a master of earth, stone and axe, <name>, not of these fell wights and evil artifacts. Go to Master Elrond in Rivendell and tell him all of what has transpired. He will be able to tell you what should be done next.'

Glóin: 'Please, go to Master Elrond in Rivendell and speak with him of the things you have seen. The hour is late indeed if we are only now seeing the true threat that festers in the north.' Elrond: 'So you have returned and with evil tidings. This is the mark of a Gaunt-lord..perhaps you have seen one before? Sometimes Gaunt-lords use these sigils to summon the fell spirit that animates the wight. 'The sigil you have brought is a mark of Drugoth the Black, a powerful Gaunt-lord. As for what drew the Nazgûl and this Gaunt-lord to Helegrod, I fear I now know what they seek....'
