Bestowal Dialog
'We share a bond, <name>, that few others can know. Wherever there is battle, you will find us there. Wherever there is hardship, we will stand against it. Wherever good people are threatened, we stand before them with shield in hand or blade at the ready, and do not stand down until it is safe once more.
'We are guardians of the people, Man, dwarf, Elf, and hobbit, and we must be strong in their defence.
'Oswin Leek is a guardian of great skill in these lands, and he can guide your further training. Look for him at the North-gate of the town of Bree, and listen well, for he has defended the people of Bree-land for many summers.'
Background
A mighty guardian is known by the scars he bears and the dents in his armour, for he is always at the forefront of battle, protecting those in his company from harm.
Objective 1
Talk to Oswin Leek The mighty guardian Oswin Leek is outside the North-gate of the town of Bree.
You have been told to speak with Oswin Leek for further instruction in the ways of the guardian.
Talk to Oswin Leek
'I welcome you to Bree, Guardian <Character>, but I confess I do not have the time to spare in idle conversation -- there are brigands about, and though they have suffered some measure of defeat of late, they are still on the Bree-fields and within the Andrath, and their recent losses only stir them to boldness.
'Unless I am very much mistaken, you surely seek every opportunity to strengthen yourself. Well, I have many such opportunities available! Indeed, the brigands seem eager to present them to us! The worthy farmers of Bree-land are hard put to it, though, and we must protect their lands and their lives whenever either are threatened.
'I will set out to deal with brigand attacks to the north, but I need you elsewhere. Burle Pierson lives on a farm to the south of Bree-town, and he has reported several raids on his land. Each time he has fought them off, but he says they always return with more men, and soon he will be unable to resist them. Help him defend his farm, <Character>, and the training will surely be of use to you.'
Objective 2
Talk to Burle Pierson
The mighty guardian Oswin Leek has asked you to help Burle Pierson defend his farm from the escalating raids of the brigands.
