'It is not like Avorthal to be late -- at least not without sending word -- nor to put aside his usual habits. Still, he has spent much time in contemplation in recent days.

'When Avorthal desires solitude for quiet thought, he spends much time beneath the white trees in this vale. Perhaps he is amongst them now, unbeknownst to anyone. Would you go there and find him? I would of course, but I shall not defy the will of the Elves.

'Make your way into the vale of Nen Hilith and search for any signs of Avorthal. I pray you find him hale and hardy, but if not, perhaps you will find some sign of him -- even just his pack.'

You discovered a leather satchel near the body of a slain goblin. It is unclear if this is Avorthal's pack. You should bring it to Athal at the camp on the north edge of Nen Hilith.

Athal explained that Avorthal enjoys the quiet of the vale of Nen Hilith. He suggested that you search beneath the white trees for either the Elf or his pack.
