Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'I said that I do not know where the vault containing Celebrían's legacy lies, but it may be that I can help you to gain entrance when it is found. 'The riddle itself is the key to the vault. If in your travels near Imladris you find a sealed vault, those words may offer you passage within. There should be a rock in front of the entrance. Place your hand upon the rock and recite the verse. 'I would be surprised if the jewel is in the vale of Imladris itself as these carefully tended gardens and groves are too often frequented by the Elves for a vault to be easily hidden. I have no doubt it is close by, not far from Imladris... perhaps on the High Moor.' Background Glorfindel does not know where lies Celebrían's legacy for Arwen, but he has given you some advice which may help you to find it. Objective 1 Collect Celebrían's legacy The lost Elf-vault is somewhere in the Trollshaws in the vicinity of Rivendell, probably on the High Moor. Glorfindel awaits your return outside the house of Elrond, by the waterfall. Glorfindel told you to seek the vault on the High Moor and advised you to place a hand upon a rock beside the entrance of the Elf-vault and to recite the verses of the riddle. Celebrían's legacy for Arwen, a white jewel, should be somewhere within the vault. Found Celebrían's legacy Bring Celebrían's legacy to Glorfindel Glorfindel: 'Yes, indeed, this is the jewel itself...Celebrían's legacy. Please bring it to Elrond, as it is his duty to give it to his daughter.' Objective 2 Deliver Celebrían's legacy to Elrond Elrond is in the library of Rivendell. Glorfindel asked you to bring Arwen's legacy to Elrond. Elrond: 'To think that the vault has remained sealed for so long past its time! Even those counted among the Wise can be foolhardy, it seems! 'But I must thank you for your perseverance, Master of Riddles. You seek the truth in all things, even though it brings you into darkness -- your skill and cunning bring you back out into the light again. [High Elf: And is that not so of the wound you suffered at Dagorlad, and from which you recovered beneath the eaves of my house? I say that it is.]'
