'So you wish to hear the tale of Nár? I must warn you, ${PLAYER}, it is quite grim — even for a retelling!

'Ah, but first....'

Hersegg glances around Akrâz-zahar, making careful note of the dwarves still present.

'Ah good, it seems Frithgeir has taken him home. Nár is an old dwarf, and though it is no fault of his own, he is often forgetful and confused in his mind. It is as if the stones of a great mosaic were scattered upon the floor — all of the pieces remain in some form or another, but what it once depicted is lost.

'Even so, neither I nor anyone else in this hall would tell the tale in his presence!'

Hersegg lifts a small volume from her hip and flips through its pages, stopping at one page in particular.

'Let us begin.'

Hersegg can be found at Akrâz-zahar in Erebor, the Lonely Mountain.

You have heard Hersegg's telling of Nár's tale as transcribed by her grandfather, Hermáth Stormhammer. You should talk to Hersegg.
