A broken sword lies cold and forgotten in the back of this ancient cave. It begs to be heard. Grip the sword and make it warm again.
Take the once-proud Third Age weapon from the stone.
The sword has a story to tell, but the blade is cold and bent. Find a suitable place to reforge the blade and rekindle its secret voice.
Exit the cave and go to a Rock Protrusion (680,335) by the lavaflows of the Citadel. This Rock Protrusion is the perfect place to reforge the blade. Use it.
The sword's song is an ode to silence. The blade remains reluctant and cold, as though bitter at ever having been forged at all. The hilt recalls its master: how her hands trembled; how she cowered in the dark to hum the names of her children. Return the weapon to its rightful owner.
Present the blade to its rightful owner: the Sentinel Moutemouia (830,250). Approaching her monument is enough to see to it that the sword is returned.
