Bestowal

'We share a bond, Name, that few others can know. Wherever there is battle, you will find us there. Wherever there is hardship, we will stand against it. Wherever good people are threatened, we stand before them with shield in hand or blade at the ready, and do not stand down until it is safe once more.

'We are guardians of the people, Elf, Man, hobbit, and dwarf, and we must be strong in their defence.

'Oswin Leek is a renowned guardian in Bree-land, and he may be able to guide your further training. Look for him at the North-gate of the town of Bree.'
[The last paragraph has been edited since there are seven different endings to this bestowal. -- DF]
