While on his way to Duillond, an Elf named Penglir stopped at the hunters' lodge and gave his bow to the young Ranger Celairant. Celairant accepted the gift, but feels unworthy to own such a thing of beauty.
'An Elf named Penglir gave me this beautiful bow but I've gone and lost it! Or more to the point, it was stolen from me. The Rangers make a point to stay out of the feud between the Longbeards and the Dourhands, so I was not expecting to be waylaid by brigands out of Kheledûl!
'They overpowered me as I was looking for a good place to practice outside the town and stole Penglir's bow! The dwarves and Starkath, their leader, skulk near the walls of Kheledûl.
'I knew I wasn't worthy to deserve such a rich gift. I'm a failure... an embarassment to Langlas and to the Rangers. So hapless am I that I dare not fight Starkath. Can you go forth and take the bow back from him?'
Starkath can be found outside the walls of Kheledûl. Celairant is at Thrasi's lodge, west of Kheledûl.
Celairant told you that his bow was stolen at sword-point by a Dourhand named Starkath and his minions. He has asked you to hunt down Starkath and recover the bow.
