Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Well now, I remember you! Did we briefly speak of dragons in Erebor not too long ago? Ah yes, that is what I thought! 'I have come to Ered Mithrin seeking lost history and knowledge. There is much of dwarf culture buried here in the mountains. I suspect that even this fortress, Skarháld, may hold some secrets yet. Have a look around and perhaps we will find something that the Zhélruka have not!' Background Rúni, a Lore-master from Erebor, has journeyed to the Grey Mountains seeking lost history and knowledge. He suspects that even the fortress of Skarháld may hold secrets. Objective 1 Search old chests (0/12) Old chests may be hidden in Skarháld. You should search any old chests that you find in Skarháld. OLD CHEST "An old dwarf-made chest." Using ... There is nothing of interest in this chest That may have been food once... You found an old map! OLD MAP "An old dwarf-made map." Objective 2 Bring the old maps to Rúni Rúni can be found in Skarháld. You should bring the old maps to Rúni. Rúni: Rúni pours over the old maps. 'Oh, this is too good not to share. I will have to show the Zhélruka as well! Do you know what these maps contain? One map is of Thikil-gundu, and old keep northwest of here. Another map is of Gilgróf, a mine to the north. The third map is of Stormlind, a crafting hall northeast of here. These maps will assist in planning expeditions. You have found something very helpful, very helpful indeed!'
