I have been trained as a Sentinel, protector of the forest, but I spend my spare time composing and writing poetry. Though my poems are not good enough to recite to others. But it was a different case for my old time friend and colleague, Rumiel Moonshine. He was a warrior with the heart of a poet. The short poems that he recorded in the life and death situations of the battlefield were a great comfort to our sentinel brothers who were weary of fighting. His voice, which sang of the beauty of the forest, the wind and the springs, made us remember what we were fighting for.

Unfortunately all of those five poems were lost. We were defeated in the siege of the Underground Fortress, and three Sentinels, including myself, barely managed to escape with our lives. But Rumiel was killed in that battle. The sheepskin scrolls where his poems were written were lost, along with him.
Some time ago I went to the abandoned dungeons to recover my friend's work. But I only managed to find one of Rumiel's five scrolls. I want to go to the dungeons again to look for the rest of the scrolls, but I cannot leave my post due to the recent battles with the Orcs of the Misty Mountains. I desperately want to recover my friend's legacy, and am frustrated because I cannot.
Do you think you could go to the Underground Fortress and find the scrolls where Rumiel wrote his poems?
Player choice:
Thank you. Go to the Elven Village Underground Fortress and find the remaining four scrolls. I have discovered his second poem already. What you must find are the scrolls containing his first, third, fourth and fifth poems. I think that the foolish baraq orcs that live in the ruins may have mistaken Rumiel's scrolls for magic scrolls and hidden them.
I implore you! I am certain that the cultural wealth of our race will become richer with the recovery of Rumiel's poems.
I am one of the warriors who fought in the underground dungeon battle during the war with the Dark Elves. My long time friend and companion, Rumiel, was killed in that battle. Not only was he an excellent warrior, but he was also a marvelous poet. Sadly, the beautiful poetry he wrote on the battlefield was lost during the last battle in the underground dungeons.
One day I plan to go to the abandoned dungeon and recover my friend's legacy. It would be nice if you could help.
(This quest may be undertaken by any character (other than Dark Elf Village characters) of level 11 or higher.)
During the fiercest battle with the Dark Elves, Rumiel and I, along with a few dozen sentinel brothers, faced the Dark Elves that had surrounded our fortress. The Dark Elves did not engage in direct battle but used hit and run tactics, slowly tiring us out. Rumiel was in the most pain during that time. The battle had deeply scarred his sensitive soul.
During the siege in the Underground Fortress, Rumiel composed five poems. It was the most beautiful poetry I had ever heard -- poems that turned the fear and despair of that time into verses.
Player choice:
So you have recovered all of Rumiel's poems. Now I can read my friend's poetry once again.
I plan to put these together with the other poems that Rumiel wrote and publish a poetry book. Now my Elven Village brothers may also enjoy Rumiel's fine poetry. This is the only thing I can do for Rumiel, whom I could not save in battle.
Please accept this. This is for your work in recovering the scrolls. May the blessings of the starlight fall upon you.
If not for the peace talks, I would slay Dark Elves like yourself with a single blow! Child of darkness, beware! We Sentinels will be watching your every move!
(Not available for Dark Elven Village characters.)
I see, so you haven't recovered all of Rumiel's poems yet. Travel along the southwestern path of the village and you will reach the Underground Fortress. Please recover Rumiel's four scrolls from the lowly race that lives there. I implore you!
