Bestowal dialogue
for Elves
'The Dourhands do nothing to stem the growth of the lynx in this area. No surprise, to be honest. Despite their newfound ties to their cousins, the Longbeards, the Dourhands are the same dwarves that Skorgrím led against Edhelion centuries ago. We cannot expect them to be proper stewards of the land.
'Go into the wilds and cull the lynx population. You can find them in the wooded areas near the frozen lake down the road from here. You can also find them to the north.'
'Return the pelts of the creatures to me. It would be a waste to leave the furs out on the snow, and I am sure Durin's Folk would appreciate them in the cold nights to come.'
Background
The lynx that prowl Thorin's Gate are too many for the land to support. They attack travellers and the thrushes, long-time friends of the dwarves.
Objective 1
Lynx can be found in the wooded areas north-east of Frerin's Court and to the north of the Elf-camp.
Laergil/Nos Grimsong asked you to defeat the Lynx found throughout Thorin's Gate and bring back their pelts.
Objective 2
Bring the lynx-pelts you gathered back to Laergil in the ruins of Edhelion/Nos Grimsong at the Berghold.
for Elves
- Bring the lynx-pelts to Laergil
- 'You return victorious? Excellent, friend. Perhaps these pelts will garner us trade with the Longbeards of Ered Luin.'
for Dwarves
- Bring the lynx-pelts to Nos Grimsong
- 'Well done! These are fine pelts. Fine indeed. I'll send these down to the tanner at once. On behalf of both dwarf and thrush alike, I thank you kindly.'
