The Second Gear

Bestowal dialogue

'That first gear has seen better days, but it's not beyond repair. I'll get to work on that, while you look for the second gear.

'According to the old records, the second gear was hidden in a chest in some old ruins to the south in the Vale of Thráin. The ruins are on the west side of the vale, off the road and across the Vale from Noglond. The records indicate that the chest is on the south side of the ruins.

'One thing you should be aware of, though, is that goblins have overrun those ruins. Be careful.'
