Quest:A Simple Wine

Bestowal dialogue

'Hail, friend, and welcome to Echad Candelleth. Are you perhaps travelling into the South? Or, as my heart hopes, are you heading to the West, perhaps into the land of the Halflings?

'You see, I travelled through there not many days hence and met a merry party of Halflings in one of their inns, the Golden Perch. These Halflings were all members of something they called a "Inn League." Unlike most of their kin, who seemed suspicious of outsiders, they were most welcoming, even inviting me into their League. While I was among them, they gave me something they called "Brandy Wine." It was a simple wine, but a very pleasant drink. Now that I am far from their lands, I find that I miss this wine, perhaps because it reminds of their pleasant company.

'If in your travels you find yourself near the Golden Perch, please buy for me a glass of their wine. I would be most grateful for this favour!'

Background

You have encountered another member of the Inn League who has acquired a taste for a very special wine.

Objective 1

The Golden Perch Inn is the village of Stock in the Shire, far to the west of Echad Candelleth. Saerhuithel is at Echad Candelleth in Tâl Bruinen, far to the east of the Shire.

Saerhuithel has asked you to bring her a glass of "Brandy Wine" from the Golden Perch. Once you have the wine, bring it back to her.

• Collect a glass of Brandy Wine
• Return with the Brandy Wine before time expires!

• Bring the Brandy Wine to Saerhuithel
• Return with the Moor-boar Beer before time expires!

'Ah, [your name], you have done me a great favour! You have brought me the Hobbit's wine. My thanks.

'I shall enjoy it and reflect upon those simple folk. It is a good reminder of all that needs to be saved from the darkness that grows in the East.'
