Thank you, %PCName. This pilgrimage has taught me a lesson in humility. I will ponder this lesson for awhile and then continue the pilgrimage.

I thought the Ashlanders would kill me so I told them that I was a famous noble. I knew it was wrong, but what else could I do?

Yes, I'm Beden Giladren. These ashlanders have me trapped here. Can you get me out?

The famous noble is no longer enjoying our hospitality.

He is free to go.

Very well. Beden Giladren is free to leave and we can trade with you outlanders for food this winter.

Come back when you are ready to pay the ransom.

What do you mean? You have not heard of the famous Redoran noble Beden Giladren?

He told me that he was a famous noble of House Redoran. Perhaps you should speak with him.

Good. He is free to leave.

So this "famous noble" is a liar and a coward. Very well, you can have him for five drakes.

So this "famous noble" is a liar and a coward. Very well, you can have him for five drakes.

Yes, you heard right. I have the famous noble Beden Giladren. I demand five thousand drakes in ransom. Will you pay?

Yes, you heard right. I have the famous noble Beden Giladren. I demand five thousand drakes in ransom.

I heard you rescued the pilgrim. I guess the Ashlander that came here demanding ransom for a famous noble was confused.

Well, maybe. An Ashlander came here the other day demanding tribute for the esteemed noble "Bindin Gildaran" or somesuch. I didn't know of any Redoran noble by that name, so I just passed the report on. The Ashlander said to go west out of Maar Gan along the road towards the mountains and then head south along the mountains to get to his camp.

Beden Giladren is dead. You have failed House Redoran.

I wonder if Beden Giladren has finished the pilgrimages.

Yes, I heard that you rescued Beden Giladren from the Ashlander camp. I will make sure House Redoran hears of your deeds.

Beden Giladren was on his way from Ald'ruhn to Maar Gan. I do not know what happened to him. Go to Maar Gan and see if you can find him.

A missing pilgrim? Tralas Rendas at the shrine might know something about it.
