The neverending story

You are a hawk.
You perch near the men, and the leader begins to speak.
"I am Aliar, knight to King Dorbos, ruler of Gilgathorpe. Sir Jotas, Sir Mumel, and myself, along with our squires, and men-at-arms have been sent on a quest to find and bring back the Ebony Sigil of Paxantyr. The war with the neighboring kingdom of Sojkon does not go well for Gilgathorpe. But the high priest of Vermor has told King Dorbos that the sigil, when activated by Vermor, could repel the Sojkonians from our border. But the pass at Yerlinka has been buried in an avalanche, and we've had to seek an alternate route through the mountains. You're help could save us, and ultimately, Gilgathorpe."
