Bestowal Dialogue

'We will find the entrance to Gloomingtarn beyond the Orc-infested cavern of Deepscrave, to the west. Let us journey there and see if the warding-runes have kept the cultists from gaining entrance to that sacred site.'

Background

Slagvi wants to honour the memory of Stóthkell by protecting the sacred lake of Gloomingtarn from the Angmarim, and has volunteered to accompany you there.

Objective 1

Slagvi asked to meet with you at the entrance to Gloomingtarn from Deepscrave, where he fears the runestones warding passage to that sacred cavern may be threatened.

Slagvi grimly observes the rune-stone wards at the entrance to Gloomingtarn

Objective 2

  • Talk to Slagvi at the entrance to Gloomingtarn

Slagvi stands beside the rune-stone wards at the entrance to Gloomingtarn.

Slagvi: 'I fear we may be too late, <name>. Examine the warding runes and tell me what you see.'

Objective 3

  • Exanine the rune-stone wards (0/2)

Studying the stones on either side of the entrance may reveal what happened to the wards that once blocked passage to Gloomingtarn.

Someone etched further lines upon this rune. Now it feels inert, robbed of power
The Rune's power has been drained by specific lines, carefully etched

Objective 4

  • Talk to Slagvi at the entrance to Gloomingtarn

Slagvi stands at the entrance to Gloomingtarn, beside the broken wards.

Slagvi: 'It is as I feared: they have somehow modified the runes, sapping them of their power. They are now only ordinary stones, and Gloomingtarn lies open to the cultists, that they may walk where they will, and spoil what they wish.
'We must follow them inside, and teach them they are not welcome! Let us enact the vengeance of Stóthkell, and of all the dwarves who revere this place, upon the intruders!'

Objective 5

  • Defeat Angmarim cultists within Gloomintarn (0/10)

Slagvi asked you to defeat any Angmarim cultists you find lurking within the cavern of Gloomingtarn.

Defeated Angmarim cultists within Gloomingtarn (10/10)

Objective 6

  • Talk to Slagvi by the lakeshore

Slagvi stands beside the lakeshore in the vast cavern, deep in thought.

Slagvi: 'This is the cavern where Durin the Deathless awoke, <name>, first of all the dwarves. Do you see the island in the lake? Look across the water, and tell me what you see.'

Objective 7

  • Look toward the island that stands in the lake

Slagvi has asked you to look toward the Stone of Wakening, the island that stands in the lake.

Slagvi stands beside you in silence as you contemplate the distant rocks

Objective 8

  • Talk to Slagvi beside the lake in Gloomingtarn

Slagvi stands beside the lakeshore in the vast cavern, deep in thought.

Slagvi: 'The island in the lake is called the Stone of Wakening, for it is said that Durin awoke there, first of all the dwarves. He built an anvil of black stone and a forge of white brick, and the sound of his hammer echoing over the water called forth the ancient fathers of the dwarves. They stood on the shore of the lake, observing his work.
'Stóthkell would have loved to stand here, <name>. He spoke of it often, and my heart is aggrieved to know now that he never will.
'Let us cross to the Wakening Stone and see the black anvil and the white forge on his behalf. The bridge is just to the south.'

Objective 9

  • Cross to the island and find the White Stone Forge and the Black Stone Anvil

The Wakening Stone stands in the middle of the lake in Gloomingtarn.

Objective 10

  • Examine the White Stone Forge on the island in the lake

It is said that Durin himself constructed the White Stone Forge and the Black Stone Anvil in the days after he first awoke.

The White Stone Forge gleams even in the dim light, unaffected by time's passage

Objective 11

Slagvi has come to the Stone of Wakening, and he is not happy.

Slagvi: 'I cannot believe this! The White Stone Forge is here, as it should be, but the Black Stone Anvil has been taken away by unknown villains! This is a grievous insult!
'Stóthkell would die of a broken heart had he lived to see it!'
