4 Speak toLéodwig (Show dialog)
'Who is... who is there? Are you... a friend? The giant! The giant returns!'
The man struggles violently for a moment before breathing deeply and attaining a measure of calm.
'I... I am Léodwig, the son of Harding, Aldor of the North-march. I came into Wildermore to learn what... but no use. Separated from my men... the storm arose... lost! Lost in a gale!'
Léodwig twists and turns before settling into a calm once more.
'The giant's name is Núrzum. He... he brings the snows and the wind. Something he carries... I think. He saw me in the snow near the city... I was lifted in the air... a thunderous blast of hot air... and then... and then!'
Léodwig shakes and will say no more, but the odour of the burning herbs seems to have broken him out of his stupor.1/1
5.1) Speak toNona (Show dialog)
'The old ways are best, it seems! I am heartened to know the magic of the healers of Lhanuch works even in the land of the horse-lords.
'The most-injured of my charges is named Léodwig, and he is the man for whom you sought, Player? What a wonder that they should be one and the same. My father Suvulch would find some meaning in this, but for me I see fortune only. Still, it is a happy fortune, if he lives. That is not yet certain.
'For as long as the giant lives, the people are in danger. What will we do about Núrzum?'1/1
5.2) Speak toHorn (Show dialog)
'You say that the man Nona has been trying to heal is the very man for whom we sought? Léodwig, the son of Harding? We found him, but it will be a bittersweet victory if he dies.
'Everywhere we go we find rumour of this giant, Player, this Núrzum. What can we do about Núrzum?
'We cannot engage him in combat, that much is clear. Attacking his feet might prove possible, if we could somehow avoid the attacks that were sure to follow. And by all accounts he brings the storms of winter with him wherever he treads... that will limit visibility, and make it difficult to strike him.
'I have no military mind, Player. Núrzum seems invincible to me. But we will need to destroy him or Wildermore will not be safe. I do not know what to do.'1/1
5.3) Speak toCorudan (Show dialog)
'He lives, for now, and is the very man we came here to find: Léodwig, the son of Harding. What would Harding say to know his son was saved by a Dunlending girl? Perhaps it is best not to think of that for now, Player.
'I can piece together some of his story from what he has said. He was separated from his men when the storm rose; that must have been Núrzum approaching. He made for the most visible landmark he could find: it must have been the hill upon which Byre Tor is built. Ill fortune for Léodwig, for that seems to have been Núrzum's destination.
'We must do something about Núrzum, but what? He is too strong for us to fight directly. Could we trick him in some way? I will think on it, Player, but I cannot promise a solution will present itself to me.'1/1
6 Speak toGléowine (Show dialog)
'Ah, I have nothing to contribute. What can I do against such a ferocious creature? I am no warrior. I am only an aged musician. Even Théoden King had no more use for me.'
Completing this quest will unlock an optional interlude from Gléowine's map.1/1
