Mountain-bear Protector
Bestowal
Never have you seen such a magnificent hide. The fur is thick and lush, unblemished by burrs or tangles. The blows that dispatched its former owner were well-enough aimed that the usable portion of the hide is unmarred.
An armourer of sufficient skill might make this hide into armour formidable indeed. An Elf in Rivendell likely possesses both the skill and the desire to do this for you.
Background
While hunting the bears of the Western Trollshaws, you obtained a hide of unusual toughness. The beast from which it came was strong and hardy, possessed of thick fur and even thicker hide.
Objectives
Objective 1
Bring the Perfect Bear-hide to an Elf armourer in Rivendell
An armourer of sufficient skill likely dwells in the hidden valley of Rivendell.
It will take an armourer of great skill to craft armour worthy of the beast from which this perfect hide came.
the hard part about these quests is that, it starts from a drop by an animal you are killing. in the case of this quest, the perfect hide you need comes from a bear.
it doesn't drop very often but i have also seen it drop several times even while you have the item already.
so far, i have found that the boars drop a perfect tusk (turn into a nice dagger), the lynxes drop a perfect fur (some other leather armor), and these bears drop their perfect hide.
