'You should speak with Eywind...he may know more about the Wargs.'1/1
1 Speak toEywind (Show dialog)
'Well, while it is true that I've fought and slain many a Warg in my day, I have had little cause to speak with them beforehand.
'But if my memory serves me a-right, there is a pair of brothers who have lived up in these mountains for quite some time as hunters and trappers. If anyone might have learned something about that pack, it would be them.
'The last I heard, they were holed up in the ruins of Hrimbarg -- an old dwarf-place to the east and a bit south of here -- still pursuing their trade. If you can find them -- and they still live -- they might be able to tell you more.'1/1
2 Speak toThorgest (Show dialog)
'What do you want? Something about that pack up there to the north? I used to hunt the aurochs up that way, before I moved into the worm-scale business, and I learned a fair bit about the Wargs in order to stay alive. If you want to find one that will talk, that would be Blackfang, the pack-leader. A few others might know the tongue of Men, but they won't talk to you. It will be him that speaks for the pack and strikes bargains with the goblins -- but he won't speak to you either...unless you were to call him out.
'You see, Wargs are big on strength and survival of the fittest and all that -- so while there is no way a pack would ever accept YOU as a leader, they would still look to the pack-leader to kill you if you laid down a challenge to his leadership, just to prove his strength. If he backed down or refused, he would lose face -- and for a Warg, that can be fatal.
'The custom of challenge varies from pack to pack, but in this one it's simple. There is an old goblin totem in the middle of the ruins they live in -- you just go stand next to that for a few minutes and that signals you want a fight. Blackfang will have to come out and face you sooner or later or lose face with his pack. Of course, he's the pack-leader because he IS the strongest one up there, so you take care or he will tear you apart.'1/1
3 Speak toNogmeldir (Show dialog)
'So, this Thorgest told you of a means to pose a challenge to the leader of the Warg-pack?
'It sounds to me like a novel means of having one's self ripped limb from limb by ravening Wargs, but if there is some chance that we might be able to learn something of Glorwen's whereabouts from this Blackfang, then perhaps it is worth the risk!'1/1
