Bestowal dialogue You've found a torn page of a tome, frozen from the harsh weather of the mountains. Perhaps you can find other pages around Ered Mithrin and complete the story. Background Pages of a tome can be found scattered around Ered Mithrin. Perhaps you can complete the story if you find them all. Objective 1 Collect page 1 Collect page 2 Collect page 3 Collect page 4 Collect page 5 Collect page 6 Collect page 7 Collect page 8 Frozen pages can be found scattered around Ered Mithrin. You should collect the pages to complete the story. Objective 2 Completed Completed. The story still seems incomplete. This appears to be the first half of a poem written by the Zhélruka Dwarves. Perhaps the second half still exists somewhere, in some form.
