Book 3, Chapter 7: The Council Assembled

The Elves, Men, and dwarves of the North Downs have all agreed to come to the Council of Esteldín, but Halbarad's chieftain has yet to be informed of the events that have transpired there.

Description
Stage 1

'While I await the arrival of those coming to the Council, I must ask one final task of you. My chieftain, Aragorn, must be told of what has transpired here.

'I also would seek his counsel, as the position I find myself in is an unusual one. Aragorn has always been the one to lead, to organize, and inspire. If only the matter he was seeing to was not of much greater importance, then he would be here!

'That cannot be helped though. By now, Aragorn should have arrived at the refuge of Rivendell in the Trollshaws. It is a hard ride that awaits you, but word must be taken to Aragorn of these matters. Look for him in one of the guest rooms of Elrond's House.'

Aragorn can be found in one of the guest rooms of Elrond's House in Rivendell, which lies in the Trollshaws.

Halbarad has asked you to take word of the invasion of the North Downs to his chieftain, Aragorn, and to obtain his advice.
