Bestowal

'I can't ken these runes at all! Why, unless I miss my mark entirely, I think these are some kind of Elf-writing.

'Now, how could directions to a Dwarf-mine have ever been written in some Elvish script? Well, I'm sure I don't understand this, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to find an Elf lore-master to riddle these records for us.

'I believe there are Elves living at Lin Giliath, some distance to the south of here, in a region of lakes and bogs called Meluinen in the Elf tongue. There is an Elf there called Glambaen who may be able to read these records.'

Background

Regin is unable to make sense of the runes in the mining records you found. Strangely enough, they appear to be written in an Elvish script.

Objectives

Objective 1

Bring the records to Glambaen

Glambaen is at Lin Giliath far to the south of Othrikar, in a region of lakes and bogs called Meluinen.

Regin recognized the mining records as being written in an Elvish script. He has asked you to find an Elf named Glambaen to decipher them.


Objective 2

Bring the records to Regin

Regin is at Othrikar in the North Downs.

Glambaen has translated the old records, but apparently a map is required before the directions will make sense. You should return to Regin with the deciphered records.
