Captain Aranhir's directions led you to search for goods lost in his wreck. What you did not expect to find was a wounded man along the shores of the great river. The man has a tale to tell.
'Hoi there, friend,' the man winces as he speaks. 'I should have known better; and not done what I done.'
He manages a weak smile through the pain.
'Alas, the call of the waves and the way of water made me a fool, it seems, for the last time.'
He coughs.
'Could you... spare a moment for a stranger... to hear the tale of his life... so that someone might know of me and so I may not just end up as some corpse washed ashore the mighty Brandywine?'
The old man is injured gravely and it seems that there is no hope to close his wounds. His request is simple, stay and listen to his tale so that he is not forgotten. Will you see this through?
Falnavar paused, but it seems there is more he has to say. Ask him to continue.
Falnavar paused again. Perhaps you should see if there is more that he wishes to tell you.
