More positively and concisely:
The Arkenstone represents all that this ancestors died
for, and his home as well . . his rightful heritage... It would mean regaining
all the former glory of the kingdom of old and restoring the pride of his
family and his father and his
grandfather.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.
The wanderer sleepeth. Now soft be his pillow!
