Quest dialogGaladriel (Show dialog)
'If your friend is a typical member of her race, Dunlendings come from strong stock. She has made a more complete recovery than I expected of her.
'Speak to her at the ladder down from these flets, and show her around the city of the Galadhrim. I have made it known she has my permission to see Caras Galadhon.'1/1
1 Speak to(Show dialog)
Nona smiles weakly at you.
'They tell me I was close to death, Player. I remember very little of it. I remember a creeping shadow, and a chill cold as ice, and...'
Her eyes narrow.
'The men of that town would not heal me unless I gave them my sword. But you spoke against it, and so did that man. What was his name? Horn? I should thank him for that kindness, even though he is of the horse-folk and we should not trust him too far.
'The Lady of the Elf-woods told me I could see her city before we departed, if I were well enough. I tell you I am! This place is a marvel, though my own people would not wish to live here. Bring me to some of the notable locations of this city, Player. We have some time before we must depart, do we not?'1/1
2.1) Speak toHúrien (Show dialog)
'This is Celúrlin, the white fountain of Caras Galadhon. It is a place for quiet contemplation, where Elves of Lórien are free to enjoy the sound of the water in the pool and the feel of soft breezes on the skin.'
Húrien looks at Nona dismissively, and you can tell that despite Galadriel's words, not every Elf is pleased to have the Dunlending girl within the borders of Lórien.
'Others can admire the fountain as well, of course,' Húrien finishes with a sniff.1/1
2.2) Speak toLuidhros (Show dialog)
'The mallorn trees of Lothlórien are the mightiest to be found anywhere in these, the waning years of Middle-earth. It was once not so, but the passage of time and the spreading of darkness has caused much that was once great to wither and diminish.
'So it would be with the Elves, were we to stay. Already we have stayed too long.'
Luidhros looks sideways at Nona, but she seems not to notice.
'It will soon be the time of Man, and who can say how that race will deal with the challenges that lie ahead?
'These mellyrn support the Telain Galadhrim, the flets on which much of the work in our city is done. Without them, little could be accomplished. I hope the same will not be said of the Elves when we have departed.'1/1
2.3) Speak toAnglamel (Show dialog)
'I am sorry, we see so few visitors to Caras Galadhon that our hospitality is perhaps not what it should be. It must seem a very confusing place, with flets built on multiple levels of the great mellyrn, with winding stairs and bridges crossing the breezy gaps.'
Anglamel laughs, a delicate and musical sound. You catch Nona's brief scowl at the airy tones, but Anglamel does not.
'I have heard it said Caras Galadhon is as maze-like as the cities of the dwarves, but if this slander is true at least our maze is above the ground, lit by the glow of the sun and cool glimmer of the stars! I would forgive any amount of confusion for those dual boons!'1/1
3 Speak toGaladriel (Show dialog)
'I hope you enjoyed your respite, Player. It brings me sadness to tell you it must be ended.'1/1
