Bestowal Dialogue

'I never expected to use the blight for a good purpose, but this is truly a day for surprises.

'Some of the mysteries that plagued Imhûlar and Adagím have been made clear to me now that I see what has transpired within the Fearwater. For many years I believed the floods cascading into Adagím from the north were caused when spring rains overfed the Ikorbân River, but it was not so. The Ordâkhai dredged an old tributary channel, carving a path south from Sûg Nidar. Now the floods that might have destroyed their wharves were instead spilled upon Adagím, already suffering from the blight. Was the extent of the Lâg Dávrit worsened by these annual floods and the noisome bog to which they contributed? It must have been.

'But now I have need of the blight to counter this Ordâkhai fleet, and its pervasive reach will be of use to us! Pods of the blight push into Sûg Nidar from Adagím, and they have taken root within a narrow vale just outside the eastern entrance to Starkhaven, not far from the long bridge that leads to this island. Take this sack and trowel and collect samples of blighted pods for me while you combat some of the creatures that even now push into Sûg Nidar. I will meet you outside that blighted place once you have done this.'

Background

Cúridwan needs as much of the blight as she can find if she is to use it to damage the Song of Waves and Wind.

Objective 1

 Cloth Sack
 Small Trowel
6 Pods of the Blight

Cúridwan has identified some locations outside Starkhaven where the blight has crept into Sûg Nidar, along with some creatures from Adagím.

Cúridwan: 'I need you to collect samples of the blight I can use to disable the fleet. Pods of the blight push into Sûg Nidar from Adagím, and they have taken root within a narrow vale just outside the eastern entrance to Starkhaven, not far from the long bridge that leads to this island. Take this sack and trowel and collect samples of blighted pods for me while you combat some of the creatures that even now push into Sûg Nidar. I will meet you outside that blighted place once you have done this.'
Cúridwan: 'The trowel I gave to you will enable you to collect samples of the blight I can use to disable the fleet.'
Collected useful blight samples (6/6)
Defeated creatures from Adagím in Sûg Nidar (8/8)

Objective 2

  • Bring the useful blight samples to Cúridwan by the entrance to the blighted vale outside Starkhaven
 Cloth Sack
 Small Trowel
6 Pods of the Blight

Cúridwan is outside the blighted vale located outside the eastern entrance to Starkhaven, in Sûg Nidar.

Cúridwan: 'Have you done as I asked? Thank you, <name>. When handled with care, such samples as these may prove that even evil has its uses... for if the Song of Waves and Wind can be made unseaworthy then even the Lâg Dávrit may save some lives.
'I will continue my work applying the blight to the water by the ships of the Song. In time no vessel will remain afloat, and the designs of Ordâkh and Mordor will be ruined. Sigileth is right that the leaders must be captured or slain to truly end this threat... but sinking the Song is an important step on that road. Thank you again for your efforts.'
