Quest dialogCorunir (Show dialog)

'You will find Frithgeir somewhere within the library here at Zudrugund. Speak to him about Nár; it may be he will reveal the source of his friend's strange knowledge of the paths Elrond bade us keep in mind.'1/1

1 Speak toFrithgeir (Show dialog)

'Yes? I am sorry he upset you. Nár means no harm.'

Frithgeir listens as you recount Corunir's request to know of Nár's recent activities. His brow creases in thought, and he is silent for a moment. When he speaks again, his words come slowly, as if he is unsure they will be of help.

'A few days before Wadu the Dunlending came to Zudrugund, I noticed Nár spending a great deal of time looking through some of the book-shelves for something. I thought it odd, because he generally takes little interest in the books and records here, but he did not speak of it and I did not ask what drove his examination.

'I can tell you which section of shelves it was, but there are a lot of books to go through. I do not know if that will be of any assistance, but you are welcome to seek a common thread if it may be of help to you and your friends. Look at the shelves to the south-east of here, around the illuminated statue.'1/1

3 Speak toNár (Show dialog)

Nár nods in your direction, and a wide smile creases his old face.

'You have brought the gem-stones? Good, good! These will do very nicely!'

He seems not to realize that you have brought no gem-stones. This is going about as well as you expected.1/1

4 Speak toCorunir (Show dialog)

'Nár's words remain as cloudy as ever. It was worth trying, Player, though it has not borne fruit.

'You should go to Candaith at the camp-site of the Grey Company in a grove of trees east of the Uch-luth village of Lhanuch, and tell him that we are no closer to learning why Nár spoke of the Paths of the Dead. Candaith is a master of lore and may have thought of something.'1/1

5 Speak toCandaith (Show dialog)

'You have spoken with the dwarf Nár again, to no avail? I see. Will he not tell us how he knows of the words of Elrond? Will he not tell us how he knows of the Paths of the Dead? It seems this mystery must remain unsolved for a time yet.'

Candaith sighs, thinking.

'Do you know the story of the Oath-breakers and the Paths of the Dead? Perhaps a recounting of that tale is in order, and you will be more familiar with the puzzle set before us.

'Do you wish to hear it?'1/1
