Bestowal

'I know that I promised you the story of the Great Barrow, but your tale has not yet ended. We need to finish the final chapter.

'Take the key fragments to Kenton Thistleway. He resides on the west side of Bree, where most blacksmiths reside. He is close to the stables, I think, and has been down on his luck of late. He is an old friend and helping me will perhaps spark his passion again.

'Return to me after Kenton has reforged the key, and I will give you your last task.'

Background

Naerandir has told you he knows the story of the Great Barrow, but that the reality of the place as it exists now must be masked beneath the splendour of legend, lest cautious fear grows into terror.

Objectives

Objective 1
Bring the key fragments to Kenton Thistleway


Kenton Thistleway is in Blacksmith's Row, west of The Prancing Pony and south-west of the stables.

Naerandir told you to bring the key fragments to Kenton Thistleway, a blacksmith who has had a recent run of bad luck.

'Naerandir sent you, did he? A good man he is, and a wonderful storyteller too. I will gladly mend that key for you.

'These are tough times. So many blacksmiths out there. I was thinking of travelling north, but I hear that Trestlebridge is even worse off.

'Oh well, here you go.'

Collected the soot-covered key

Objective 2
Bring the soot-covered key to Naerandir

Return to Naerandir, who is outside The Prancing Pony in Bree.

Kenton Thistleway reforged the key to the Great Barrow. You should return to Naerandir for further instruction.

'There you are, Darqflame! I am glad that your story continues. Lend me the key, and we will see if my faith in Kenton Thistleway was well-founded.

'It is as I hoped, beneath teh soot and grime indeed lays that which we seek. This key will open the passageway to the lower chambers of the barrow wherein were housed many of the bravest fallen warriors of Cardolan now defiled by creatures of horror and dread.

'It is time that you take the key back into the Great Barrow and face the evil within.'
