Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'I will be returning to Lake-town, now that this is all sorted out. If you ever end up there, look for me. Always plenty going on in Lake-town! 'You may tell the Elves of Mirkwood that their friend is free and the Lake is safe for trading once again.' Background Now that the route from Felegoth to Lake-town has been made safe, trade can resume! Return to Loeglond to tell the Raft-elves the good news. Objective 1 Talk to Lorndúr Lorndúr can be found in Loeglond. You should talk to Lorndúr. Lorndúr: 'You have done it, <name>! All my Raft-elves are accounted for, and everything has been made safe. You should return to King Thranduil and tell him the good news. Thank you for everything you have done for us.' He bows deeply. Objective 2 Talk to Thranduil King Thranduil can be found within Felegoth. You should talk to Thranduil. King Thranduil: 'You have done great deeds this day, <name> [Elf:. You are an exemplar of our people] [non-Elf:, and not even for your own people]. I shall keep my word and allow trade to resume with the Dale-folk. The Woodland Realm thanks you. 'If you are seeking more good to be done, you might make your way to the Men of Lake-town and Dale. Their problems become our problems if left untended. Safe journey to you.'
