Darman's sword

Hmm. Have you been waiting? Hopefully it will be worth the wait. Hmm. The truth is, I'm collecting bits of information for Silent Riley. What information? Why, information regarding the color black. Ha ha ha! Is that too obscure? Oh, but it is not all that obscure. You see, travelers have small fragments of information stored in their memory that is associated with the color black. Because of this, when you ask questions about the color to travelers that are passing by, you can hear related information that remains in their mind, mostly about things that they've seen. Of course, most of it is fruitless. Ha ha ha. More importantly, recently, by using this method, we received a bit of truly useful information. Would you like to hear it? There is a road called Gauntlet Pass south of Tor Fortress. It received such a name because a long time ago many travelers stepped onto that road and have never returned. However, a traveler I met not long ago told me that a Black Sword was pegged into a tree south of the Gauntlet Pass. Because it was such an inauspicious image, he said that he did not touch it and simply passed it by. Ha ha ha! That's why I am asking you to go retrieve it for me? Please find and bring back the Black Sword from the tree located south of the Gauntlet Pass.

This is it! Yes, this is it for sure. It's that inauspicious black color that I've seen elsewhere. Hmm. It's extremely inconvenient to just put this thing you brought me on the ground to look at it. But I find that I cannot pick it up. It's very awkward...
