Bestowal Dialogue:
'Yes, yes, naturally I know all about the salamanders. I'm a great lore-master, am I not? Or am I? Ha! Little joke there. Of course I am. All the Wise know the name of Humfrey Rumming! But I can't divulge the great secrets of lore to just anyone, can I? No, no, no, no, no! Not at all! And how can Humfrey Rumming tell if you are worthy? How, indeed?
'Let's try a bit of a challenge, shall we? I have hidden a number of chests all about this island. One of them contains the answer to my riddle. Take this key -- but beware, it can only be used once! Here's the riddle:
'Fluttering shreds rent from the fabric of night; Fell shrieking beasts that shun the sun's light; Dwelling in darkness they fly hidden from sight; Clouds obscure the stars when first they take flight.
'It's not easy, is it? Oh, no! But if you explore this island from top to bottom, and from bottom to top, you are sure to find the solution.
