Need of a Cask

Bestowal dialogue

'<class>, if you would take a moment, I have a request of you. A dear friend to me, Brethilwen, spends her days tending the grapes at Limael's Vinyard to the north and west. She sent word to me not long ago that she required a cask for a special wine she wanted to present upon the White Ships.

'I have crafted a cask for her, but need someone to take it to her since the preparations for our departure keep me very busy.

'Would you take the cask to her? You will find her to the north and west at Limael's Vinyard.'

Background

Bregedúr, at the Craftsman's Plaza in Celondim, asked that you deliver a cask meant for storing wine to his friend Brethilwen at Limael's Vinyard.

Objective 1

• Deliver the wine-cask to Brethilwen outside Limael's Vinyard

You will find Brethilwen to the north and west at the outskirts of Limael's Vinyard. Make your way along the roadway heading north-west out of Celondim and follow the small path along the river to the west to find her.

Bregedúr, the local cooper at Celondim, asked you to deliver a cask to his friend Brethilwen at Limael's Vinyard.

Bregedúr: 'You will find Brethilwen at Limael's Vinyard to the north and west of Celondim. Follow the road north-west and shortly after the river seek the small path leading to the west. You will find her along that road.'

Brethilwen: 'I only wish that this thoughtful gift from Bregedúr did not arrive during such dire times. With the situation at the Vinyard, I fear that the cask may go empty for our journey.'

Cooper and Cask

Bestowal dialogue

'Now that you have collected the wood I would ask one more favour from you, friend.

'The cooper in Celondim, Bregedúr, needs the wood to craft his casks. I would ask that you seek him out at the highest levels of Celondim on the tiers of the crafters northeast of this location. Deliver the wood to him that he may build a proper cask.'

Glavrolnen: 'You will find Bregedúr amongst the crafters on the crafting tier within Celdondim.'

Bregedúr: 'More wood? Excellent, I have been kept busy enough to think I may soon need assistants.

'You have my thanks for this delivery, <name>. This wood will serve nicely as a cask for fine elven wine.'

'In Celondim, there is a vinter who wants only to make a final offering to store enough wine to survive our journey to the west. I have offered to recover enough wood to build such a cask.

'You will need to search the wood in this vale for wood that has not been spoiled by the sickle-flies or the wolves. Return to me when you have collected enough sturdy pieces of wood, and I will grant you my favour.'

Wolves of Nen Hilith

'Mae govannen, <class>. I overheard your discussion with Ovorlas and hope that you are willing to assist us. This vale was once a place of inspiring beauty where we could come and commune with nature. It has fallen far from those days since the incursion of these wolves.

'It is unclear where the wolves came from or why they chose to dwell in this valley, but it is clear that they must be removed to ensure that nature can return to its balance.
