Quest: Book 1, Chapter 4: Vows, Speeches, and Oaths
You learned from Mithrandir that Gimli vowed not to emerge from the Splintered Shield until he determined the perfect words by which Arwen and Aragorn might plight their troth.
'Perhaps you should go to this tavern and check on our dwarves, Player. It will not do for Gimli to miss the wedding, and if he keeps his eye on the ale and not on the sun he very well might! The Splintered Shield is in the Second Circle.'1/1

2 Speak toGimli (Show dialog)
'Ah, Player! You have found us... hard at work! Ha ha!
'It is true! All the folk here in this tavern... have been helping us find... the finest vows to be spoken... by Aragorn at his wedding! Elessar! You know... you know who I mean...
'The ale here is quite good. It was Drafli's idea... to reward every perfect sentence... with a mug...
'Ah, you had better wake him up, Player. We have so many good... good words from which to choose!'1/1

4 Speak toDrafli Broadshield (Show dialog)
'I have had an idea, Gimli! We should... we should... have the proprietor provide this ale for the wedding feast! As many barrels... as many barrels as he can spare!
'And that should be no small number! A wedding such as... such as this... only comes along but rarely!
'Ask him this, Player! Ask him, and it will be the very finest of celebrations! Why, if I have anything to say about it... it will be nearly as rowdy as a dwarf-wedding! The king of Gondor should be... should be so fortunate!'1/1
5 Speak toDegilion (Show dialog)
'I would be pleased to contribute a number of barrels for the wedding-feast. It is the least I can do for the king and his bride, and I do it gladly. Gondor is in need of such happiness as theirs after so much war.
'The dwarves are right on this account: the drink will loosen the tongues of all those at the feast, and the guests will frequently and at full voice toast the king's health and that of his Elf-bride. That is my promise to you, Player.'1/1
6 Speak toGimli (Show dialog)
'Well, that is settled! Now let us see to the other matter: the proper vows to be made during the wedding ceremony!
'Will you gather up these papers, Player? Drafli and I wrote down some good options, and all of our friends here in the Splintered Shield contributed suggestions of their own, and now it is up to us to select the very best ones.'1/1
