'Greetings! Do you have a moment? I've lived a long time here in Bree-land, but in my long life I've never taken the time to learn the land's history. Now, near the end of my days, I find I want to know what came before.

'I've decided to begin me learning with the Barrow-downs. I remember tromping over those hills as a lad and seeing some of those barrows had fallen into a ruin. I remember lots of broken stones, covered in rune-letters, littering the ground, especially near "The Dead Spire." I'd love a few of those rune-stones.

'Interested in bringing me, say, three of the stone fragments from near the Dead Spire? Perhaps we can both learn a bit of history.'
