Ten miles due northwest of the steading, there is, or was, an ancient fount. It is not so old as the Old Ones and their time, but during the first days after the steading's founding, men would go to the fount and fill up containers with holy water. This fountain is fed by a spring so sacred that all water therein is holy. Truly, such waters could be of much use to you and your friends, should you all plan to pursue a life of far-roving. Were you to encounter any vile creatures from behind the grave, an unending supply of holy water could truly turn the tide. Nowadays, no man dares venture ten miles into the woods, unless he---or, ah, she---be a far-hunter.

"You surely recall tales of Fingall the Ferocious, one of Ever-Valorous Brax's bastard sons? Fingall, he of the Sun-Sword? Men said that after Fingall fell, his mighty Sun-Sword was broken. This is not precisely true. The hilt survived, and Fingall knew the way of conjuring forth the blade from the hilt. Others did not, and in time they forgot the weapon, believing it worthless. My first wife's kin were descended from Fingall, and kept the hilt hidden. I have now inherited it, and have kept secret its location for many long years. I believe that you, young sir, are a man of a canny enough mind to discern its true working. I will tell you where the hilt is, and give it over to you---for a price. I need to secure my youngest daughter's marriage. Unfortunately, I find myself plagued by impecuniosity. I cannot put together a dowry suitable for the daughter of an elder." Doorbosh proceeds to describe what he would require to put together a respectable dowry. Following the speech, he clasps Adyo by the hand and begins to walk away from the young man. Turning over his shoulder, the elder adds one thing: "If you were to bring forth Fingall's sword, you would gain so much respect in the tribe that no man would dare to besmirch you, and all would also account Ringar a great fool." Doorbosh is basically indicating that his daughter needs a dowry of 2500 GP, preferably in gems or jewelry.
