'You are deserving of equipment that reflects the joy you bring to others, ${PLAYER}. I can help you fashion such articles, but I must give you a warning: this road is not an easy one, and you may despair of ever seeing its end. I need not tell a minstrel that the joy at the end of a long road is all the sweeter for the hardship, though.

'Let me know if you are ready, and I will tell you what must be done. The tale of these items will be difficult and dangerous, but that is what will give them their strength.'
