Bestowal

'The rot that pervades the lower reaches of Buzun-ghar is not of the natural world, Lethall, and that gives us the duty of removing it. If your people will not listen to the advice of Corunothiel and seal the passage, we must destroy the source of the wilting rot before it escapes into wider Moria and becomes a much greater threat.

'I believe I have the means to do this, Name. This beryl will catch pure light, even at its most dim, and reflect it upon the corrupted walls of the passage. If you place it on a stone in the deepest area of Buzun-ghal, it will be like a beacon to the evil of the rot: drawing forth whatever lies behind the wilting rot; drawing it forth in agony.

'At that time you must destroy the source of the rot, but use caution! You must remain close to the beryl or its effects will not serve to weaken the master of the rot, whatever it may be!'

Background

Nimpheleg believes it may be possible to end the corruption of the wilting rot within Buzun-ghal.

Nimpheleg believes that you can draw out and defeat the source of the rot in Buzun-ghar by placing the beryl on a stone in the depths of the cave. He warned you to stay near the beryl once you placed it, for only the stone will diminish the ferocity of the master of the rot.
