'Some villain here in the Splintered Shield snuck this paper among the others, hoping to disrupt the wedding! Find out who has done this, and we will make them pay for it!'1/1
1 Speak toDegilion (Show dialog)
'What is the trouble, friend? I assure you that several of my finest barrels will be brought to the hall for the wedding-feast. I am a man of my word, and I will see it done. All I ask is that the lords and ladies attending the feast know that it was Degilion of the Splintered Shield who provided the drink.'
You tell Degilion that someone slipped a reference to Castamir the Usurper among the papers on Gimli's table while the dwarf and his companion were dozing.
'Men speak of Castamir... in my tavern? This is an outrage! I'll have you know that we of the Splintered Shield are kings' men all, and have nothing but respect for his bride-to-be, Elf though she be. I say that with all the love in my heart, Player! If you find any who say otherwise, or even so much as think it, I will have them cast out upon the street, never welcome again within these walls! I swear it, Player. Show me the man who speaks fondly of Castamir, the usurping king-slayer, and I will report him to the Guards of the Citadel!'1/1

2 Speak toGimli (Show dialog)
'Nobody saw anything? Ha! I wager my axe could make them talk, but this is not my kingdom and I should not wish to overstep my bounds. Not right before a wedding, anyway.
'Castamir! Bah! I remember the Corsairs that invoked his name at Pelargir, Player, and none of them would be welcome at a wedding such as this. No, not even if they cleaned themselves up and wore their finest garb! They were cruel-hearted and evil-minded, and from my gathering it sounds like their idol Castamir was twice as bad!
'You should go tell Gandalf that there are some, at least, who might wish to disrupt Aragorn's wedding. Maybe our Wizard could work some magic to sniff out these troublemakers and make them think better of it? I should say it is worth a try. If that does not do it, offer my axe in service of the task. That may prove even more effective than magic!'1/1

4 Speak toKing Elessar (Show dialog)
'You have returned just in time, Player! I planned to send for you. But I see you have come to me with some purpose of your own?'
You briefly mention Gandalf's worries concerning the legacy of the Kin-strife and the possibility that the folk of Gondor may not accept Elessar's marriage to Arwen. Your friend raises an eyebrow at that, and his demeanor becomes at once more Aragorn than Elessar.
'That is not a concern of mine, Player. Arwen will be a good queen, and the kingdom will come to accept her. There will be no kin-strife this time.'1/1
