Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'I must ask your help once more, <class>. I dare not let Witherbreca out of my sight, but as you can see, she has lost both her saddle and her shoes. Would you ask the people in Ost Rimmon and see if they have any to spare? 'There is a blacksmith here who might have horseshoes. I would begin with him.' Background Help Sithgar reshoe and saddle his unruly horse. Objective 1 Talk to the blacksmith Find the blacksmith in Ost Rimmon and see if he can provide Sithgar with shoes for Witherbreca. Dringrod: 'Horseshoes? No, I have none. But if it is for that poor boy from Rohan, I could make him some. Hum! I am short of iron, as well. Why don't you go to the quarry, which is far at the back of Ost Rimmon, and gather some of the tools that were abandoned there. They are beginning to rust and we can put them to better use.' Objective 2 Gather abandoned tools (0/6) Dringrod doesn't have any horseshoes or iron to make them. He suggested you gather abandoned tools from the quarry at the back of Ost Rimmon, which he can melt and forge into shoes. Gathered abandoned tools (6/6) Objective 3 Return to Dringrod You should return to Dringrod with the quarry tools you have gathered, so that he can forge them into horseshoes. Dringrod: 'You've got them, then? I'll forge them up and shoe the horse myself. Don't you worry. 'Now, the lad will need a saddle, too? Bargwen might help him with that. IF we haven't any, she is handy with leather and work him a new one. She's easy enough to find. You went right by her on your way to the quarry.' Objective 4 Talk to Bargwen Talk to Bargwen in Ost Rimmon about acquiring a new saddle. Bargwen: 'A saddle? Do I look like a stable-hand to you? Just because Dringrod never wants to think but work unpaid and unbidden doesn't mean he can make others do so. 'Besides, you will find nary a saddle in Ost Rimmon, I happen to know. 'Fine! I will make you one, but I will need good leather. We have not any of that either, so you will need to hunt some of the deer found near the Firien Wood.' Objective 5 Gather deer hides (0/6) You should gather deer hides from the deer that can be found by the Firien Wood, in the western Beacon Hills, so that Bargwen can craft a saddle for Sithgar. Gathered deer hide (6/6) Objective 6 Return to Bargwen Bring the deer hides back to Bargwen in Ost Rimmon, so that she can craft a saddle for Sithgar. Bargwen: 'These hides are good. Well hunted, <race>. I will get this done with as soon as I can. Now leave me to my work.' Objective 7 Return to Sithgar You should go speak with Sithgar now that a saddle and shoes are being provided for his horse. Sithgar: 'Look, <name>! Witherbreca is fit to ride. Pray only that I am fit to keep her by me from here on out. I must ride - but if you should catch up with the host of Rohan before we reach Pelennor, seek me there and I shall give you a warm welcome among my own people.'
