Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue The gaunt-man Gúrdring is likely encamped in the deepest parts of Nan Tornaeth's ruins. You found the emblem of the gaunt-man Gúrdring and should hunt for the evil creature before his power becomes too great. Background You found an emblem the like of which you have only seen once...in Agamaur, upon the Gaunt-lord Ivar. Objective 1 Defeat Gúrdring Defeat wights in Nan Tornaeth (0/8) The gaunt-man Gúrdring is likely encamped in the deepest parts of Nan Tornaeth's ruins. You found the emblem of the gaunt-man Gúrdring and should hunt for the evil creature before his power becomes too great. You should hunt for the gaunt-man Gúrdring before his power becomes too great Calenthon: 'The gaunt-man Gúrdring commands the wights of Nan Tornaeth from somewhere deep within the ruins to the north-east, <name>. Search beyond the bridge of Thoniant, and you will surely find his evil. 'Put an end to it, my friend, and we will keep old Rhudaur from rising again.' Defeated Gúrdring Objective 2 Talk to Calenthon Calenthon is within Nan Tornaeth, far to the west of Ost Brandras. Calenthon will be pleased to know that you have slain the gaunt-man Gúrdring. Calenthon: 'A gaunt-man, you say? It is well that Gúrdring was defeated, and the wights he commanded pushed back. Just such an evil as that might have posed a true threat to Rivendell. 'You have my thanks, <name>.'
