You assisted us greatly today, <Character name>. By keeping the dredge threat out of Granite Citadel, and by deciphering runes on the nearby dwarven headstones, we're on the brink of discovering how the dwarven once pacified the dredge. We hope that knowledge will one day allow us to end this bloodshed. We're that much closer, thanks to you.
