Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Weapons of this make may have a long and storied history, <player name>. Its tale grows ever with the felling of evil foes -- the more servants of evil this weapon cuts down, the more deadly it becomes. 'Only a skilful few can read the tale of a weapon from its craftsmanship. I refer you to one who can further aid you: the Elf Dithalion by the forges in Rivendell. He is wise and learned in many things, including the study of ancient weapons. 'If Dithalion cannot help you, he will surely know another who can descry the lineage and powers in a weapon of this artistry.'

Its tale grows ever with the felling of evil foes -- the more servants of evil this weapon cuts down, the more deadly it becomes.

Hundi bid you to show your new weapon to Dithalion, an Elf of Rivendell who will be able to help determine the intrinsic strengths of the weapon. Dithalion: 'You have come a long way to be here, <player name>. What business could bring a valiant <class> such as yourself here to the Forges of Rivendell?' Dithalion looks at the weapon and grows still, his eyes wide in wonderment. 'This is a relic of the Elder Days, my friend! I fear I cannot identify the lineage and strengths of this weapon for you, but my friend, the Forge-master, may be able to do just so.

Wafi looks at the weapon and grows still and whistles his astonishment. 'This is a relic of the Old Days, to be sure! I fear I cannot identify the lineage and strengths of this weapon for you; it is ancient beyond my reckoning, learned though it may be in these matters. However, my kinsman Rósar, the Forge-master,will surely have more to say than I, for his knowledge is vast and exceeds my own. Show him this weapon, and he will give you an assessment of its strengths and potential.'
