Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

This deep impression appears to be the footprint of a giant. But where did he come from, and to where did he go?

There may be more footprints nearby that can tell the tale.

Background

You found what seems to be the footprint of a giant on the high ridge above the western bank of the Bruinen.

Objective 1

Search for other footprints near the first

There are likely other footprints near the first one you found, on the ridge above the western bank of the river in the southern area of Tâl Bruinen.

You found a giant footprint in Tâl Bruinen, and should look for more.

Another enormous footprint in the soft mud of Tâl Bruinen

Objective 2

Examine enormous footprints

There are likely other footprints near the others you found, on the ridge above the western bank of the river in the southern area of Tâl Bruinen.

You found some giant footprints in Tâl Bruinen, and should look for more.

Enormous Footprint: Close examination of this footprint reveals a brooch of Elf-make embedded in the mud at the bottom of the crater.

If you can, you should try to return the brooch to its owner.

Collected Lost Brooch

Objective 3

Bring lost brooch to Candelleth

Candelleth is at her encampment, Echad Candelleth, in Tâl Bruinen.

You found the Elf-brooch in the footprint of a giant that must have come down from the mountains into Tâl Bruinen and should seek to return it to its owner. Perhaps Candelleth will know to whom it belongs.

Candelleth: 'Indeed I know to whom this belongs. There is a marchwarden posted upon the High Moor who was once a scout of mine. His name is Ringhul. I recall that he lost it while patrolling the river.'
