'Shortly after Frodo Baggins and his company came to Rivendell, my father sent us to search for signs of the Nazgûl, the Nine Riders of the Enemy. We found the bodies of eight horses downstream, but of the last there was no sign. We searched further, but still found nothing.

'We travelled far afield, into lands to the south, and still found no sign of the fleeing Rider. Only on our return journey did we find something: hoofprints in the South Trollshaws, far south of the road. There are many narrow valleys in that region -- the Nazgûl might lie there, sheltered from prying eyes, waiting for his time to strike.

'Journey far south of the road in the South Trollshaws, ${PLAYER}, and seek out the missing Rider. The ruins within those narrow channels have a fell reputation. Minas Agor that place was called of old, and the Nazgûl may have sought it out for that reason.'

This quest is meant to completed while grouped, but can be attempted solo. The stone you receive upon bestowal can be used for a short term buff that will enable you to benefit from the inspiration buff while in a fellowship smaller than five.

The corpse of a black horse lies in the ruins of Minas Agor, located among the narrow channels of the South Trollshaws.

You should remove the bridle from the horse's corpse and return with it to Elladan.

The Elf-stone can be used to allow for you to access the inspiration buff while solo or in a smaller fellowship.

Objectives

• Remove bridle from the black horse's corpse

Elladan is at Thorenhad, located among the Bruinen Gorges, north of a bear-den.

Elladan will be both pleased and troubled to see the bridle of the black horse, for it means that the missing Rider is still somewhere within the Trollshaws.
