Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'I cannot help but be curious about the people buried here. They are unlike any Shagâni I know. How long ago did they live? Why are there so many, and why are they in this place? 'It is common in many cultures to include personal items when they lay their dead to rest. It is bad luck to disturb the dead in their graves, but these poor souls are already disturbed. If you would be willing to humour me, would you mind taking a look at some of the graves and examining their belongings? There are many graves to be found in Naxar Dâl to the north, and Khâb Daku to the south. Perhaps the items they were buried with could tell us something of their story.' Background Many wights have risen from the grave in An Shêru, but who were they? Objective 1 Defeat wights at Naxar Dâl (0/4) Andûmu has asked you to examine the grave goods buried with the people in north-eastern An Shêru to learn something of who they were and what their lives were like. You should start at Naxar Dâl, north of Gadim-ûn, and defeat some wights there to clear some space for yourself. Naxar Dâl wights defeated (4/4) Objective 2 Examine grave goods at Naxar Dâl (0/4) Andûmu has asked you to examine the grave goods buried with the people in north-eastern An Shêru to learn something of who they were and what their lives were like. You started at Naxar Dâl, north of Gadim-ûn, and defeated some of the wights, clearing some space for yourself. This person was buried with jewellery, some of which is of Temámir-make' This person was buried with a small statue that looks Gondorian in style This person was buried with a collection of scrolls, the paper crumbling and unreadable This person was buried with what looks like a board game, the pieces carved from stone Objective 3 Defeat wights at Khâb Daku (0/4) Andûmu has asked you to examine the grave goods buried with the people in north-eastern An Shêru to learn something of who they were and what their lives were like. You started at Naxar Dâl, north of Gadim-ûn, and should now go to the Crypts of Khâb Daku, to the south. Defeat some of the wights there to clear some space for yourself. Khâb Daku wights defeated (4/4) Objective 4 Examine grave goods at the Crypts of Khâb Daku (0/4) Andûmu has asked you to examine the grave goods buried with the people in north-eastern An Shêru to learn something of who they were and what their lives were like. You started at Naxar Dâl, north of Gadim-ûn, and next went to the Crypts of Khâb Daku, to the south, where you defeated some of the wights there, clearing some space for yourself. This person was buried with what looks like an ornate dog collar This person was buried wearing clothes interwoven with gold This person was buried with weapons similar to those used by Shagâni today This person was buried with wine bottles, now dusty and dry Objective 5 Talk to Andûmu in Gadim-ûn Andûmu has asked you to examine the grave goods buried with the people in north-eastern An Shêru to learn something of who they were and what their lives were like. You started at Naxar Dâl, north of Gadim-ûn, and next went to the Crypts of Khâb Daku, examining grave goods at each location. You should return to Andûmu in Gadim-ûn and tell him what you discovered. Andûmu: 'Tell me, friend. What did you learn?' You tell him that many of these people appear to have been wealthy and learned, and traded with the Temámir as well as Gondor. They were not without soldiers but were probably not particularly warlike, and are likely the ancestors of the Shagâni living here today. 'Do you think they lived in Zajâna of old? Much trade happens there, I believe. They say it was founded by the Kingdom of Nísaka, which fell even before my grandfather was born. The Ordâkhai destroyed Nísaka on their march northward. Zajâna is all that remains of that kingdom. 'Well, Zajâna, and perhaps this boneyard! I fear these wights, as any sane man should, but it is also fascinating to me that these bodies belonged to people of a different time. It sounds like many of them had good lives. 'Thank you for taking the time for this.'
