'I have learned much from our time in Misthallow thus far, <name>. Now comes the time to make the trek to the great keep of my people's past. It is a relic and a keeper of memories both. There we will most certainly uncover many a hidden secret, and reaffirm many of the stories of old. Come, let us travel and establish a safe encampment near Framsburg. I would imagine that we will stay there to study the keep for quite some time.'

- Léothred: Grieving, Lóthar took in his one-year-old grandson, Bóra, and raised him as his own. During this time, a change befell the Ai-thúda. Due to close contact with both the dwarves and the Hól-budlan, their language underwent a series of changes, so that by the end of Lord Lóthar's rule, it mostly resembled the later tongue of my people.
- 'Framabárg became Framsburg in their language; Hól-budla became holbytla, and their own name of Ai-thúda now was spoken as Eothéod. It also became tradition, after the fashion of Frumgar long ago, for the lords to name their heirs with words that meant lord or some variant thereof.'

Objective 14
