Gangur Farwend has stopped in Herne for a short time only, but if the rocks are interesting he might be convinced to stay longer.
'Are you a traveller, as I am? Interesting.
'I am journeying south to the White Mountains to see the dwarf-halls there, but I heard from someone on the road that the rocks of this place have a red sheen to them, and it put me in mind of the Iron Hills. I thought I would see them for myself, and if there is valuable ore to be found here, perhaps I will delay my southward journey and stay awhile.
'If you meet me west of town, I would appreciate both the company and the help!'
Gangur Farwend asked to meet you west of the town of Herne, where he wished to study some of the curious red rocks to be found there.
Chunks of red rock can be found among the craggy outcroppings west of the town of Herne.
Gangur Farwend is waiting west of Herne for you to show him the chunks of rock you collected.
