Bestowal

"Halbarad can tell you more, but as he said to the rest of us, "What chance is it that puts a wandering jewel-crafter right in our path at this moment?" He is right. It is a small chance, surely, but a happy one.

'Talk to Halbarad, here at Echad Eregion, to learn more about his plan.'


This is a solo quest and cannot be completed with a fellowship.
