Dialogue

"I have arranged to open trade with Nebo Village to the west. They are renowned for their weaving, and my people here are short on many cloth goods, such as blankets. Their village has, of late, been subject to numerous predations by bandits and while we cannot spare guards, our passage across the mountains was costly enough that we have weapons to spare.

Can you take this stash of weapons and trade them to Ethan the artisan in Nebo Village?"

Intermediate Dialogue (Etham the Artisan)

"Ah, yes. I have been expecting you. I hope this is the beginning of much fruitful trade between the Ascalon Settlement and our village."

Reward Dialogue

"These blankets will be put to good use. Thank you for securing them."

Walkthrough

A sample path to the Ascalon Settlement from Lion's Arch is shown on the map. Completing either the Merchant's Plea or The Ascalon Settlement quests will also bring you to the Settlement.

Take the weapons from Captain Greywind (1 on the map), walk over to Etham the Artisan (2 on the map) in Nebo Village (which is just across the nearest zone line to the west) who will give you some blankets. Return to Greywind with the blankets for your reward.

The quest can be completed without even fighting, providing you have not immediately completed The Last Hog quest, as this may have left some Gypsie Ettins in the entrance to Nebo Terrace.

This quest can be completed at the same time as The Weaver of Nebo.

Tip: While doing this or other quests in the area, if your territory has Favor of the Gods, you can gain a morale boost by kneeling in front of the Statue of Dwayna (which is near Nebo Village) and making a donation.

Notes

The bow reward for this quest (known as "the blankets bow") is the only one with a damage reduction mod currently available in the game, making it excellent for solo farming. Also note that even though this bow is named Longbow, it actually has the characteristics of a Hornbow.

-This quest is so easy there is really no reason not to do it if you are in the area. One thing to watch out for though is: If you did [[The Last Hog]] right before this there may be some bands of [[Gypsie Ettin]]s left in the entrance to [[Nebo Terrace]], who didn't trigger to come out of the narrow.
