Bestowal Dialogue

'For now, we should continue up the mountain. We still need to find the hobgoblins and the rest of the Angmarim. Let's continue south and find the Father's Path again and see where it leads. Molkha will head back to Fellgát, and join us again when we find the hobgoblins. Klúso should be the next scout we come across. Hopefully he has some more information for us. Keep that staff safe, and let me know if you start hearing voices in your head, or if any other horrible things start happening!'

Background

Klúso, another of Ausma's apprentices, has witnessed a disagreement about what to do concerning the local ice-giants.

Objective 1

Hórin thinks the best course of action is to continue higher into the Welkin-lofts in search of Ausma's apprentices.

You should continue south and find Klúso.

A flare shoots up to the right of Bazan-medan, the gate to Clovengap.
Klúso calls to you as you approach

Objective 2

  • Talk to Klúso near Bazan-medan

Klúso can be found near Bazan-medan.

You should talk to Klúso.

Klúso: '<name>! You have come just in time! Warlord Dushtalbúk was just here, and you are going to want to hear this!'

Objective 3

  • Talk to Klúso and hear his report

Klúso is ready to give his scouting report.

You should talk to Klúso and complete 'Instance: The Tipping Point'.

Klúso: 'It was just a short while ago. I was scouting this area, when I suddenly heard something...'
Complete the instance: The Tipping Point

Objective 4

  • Talk to Klúso near Bazan-medan

Klúso can be found west of Bazan-medan.

You should talk to Klúso.

Klúso: 'I'm quite fortunate none of those Orcs or hobgoblins spotted me. Even if they are at each other's throats, they have one thing in common: they share a hatred of dwarves! Dushtalbúk and most of the hobgoblins continued up the mountain, but some of them are just ahead, fighting the Orcs! What should we do? Those ice-giants did not seem particularly friendly, either!'

Objective 5

  • Talk to Hórin near Bazan-medan

Hórin can be found next to Klúso, west of Bazan-medan.

You should talk to Hórin.

Hórin: 'I did not expect the Orc and hobgoblin feud to erupt right in front of us! This is a golden opportunity! We can take down both forces while they're distracted fighting each other. As for the giants... perhaps we can convince them to side with us instead of the Frost-horde. You have made alliances with giants in the past, yes? It is risky, but on occasion they have proved to be an honourable people. Klúso, stay here and watch for Orc or hobgoblin reinforcements. Come, <name>, we have work to do!'

Objective 6

A battle between Orcs and hobgoblins has erupted in the ice-giant settlement of Thyrstáth.

You should complete objectives in Thyrstáth for both Klúso and Hórin.

Objective 7

  • Call Hórin and talk to him

You should talk to Hórin.

Use the summoning horn to call Hórin to your side.

Hórin: 'We've done all we can out here. Let us make for the entrance to the main keep of Thyrstáth. With luck, our actions may have earned some good will from the ice-giants, and we can negotiate with their leader.'

Objective 8

  • Fnd the door to the main keep in southeast Thyrstáth

You have defeated the Orcs and hobgoblins, and possibly earned some favour with the ice-giants.

You should find the door to the main keep, in the southeastern reaches of Thyrstáth.

This is the door to the main keep of Thyrstáth

Objective 9

You should talk to Hórin.

Use the summoning horn to call Hórin to your side.

Hórin: 'This is it. I hope you're ready for some dwarf-diplomacy!'
