'Hello there, are you looking for work? I've received complaints that there is a haunted alley here in Bree, and none of my brave constables want the job of looking into the rumours!

'Now I'm sure it's nothing, but if you'll just take a look down this alley at night, it would help me prove to my constables that they are being childish. Just take the road south-east from here. A small alley will turn off to your right not far from the South-gate. Follow the alley to some old ruins, and you should find the place where the ghost was reported.

'Oh, if you actually do find a ghost, well...get rid of it somehow!'

The ring is hidden at a barracks gate, but there are no barracks in Bree. The shade also mentioned a black rock, however.

Perhaps if you locate this lost ring the shade spoke of, it can rest.

Objectives

• Find the lost ring

The shade's alley is near the South-gate, in some old ruins.

You should take the ring you found to the shade and see if that appeases it. The shade likely will only appear in the alley at night.
