Description
Stage 1
Stage 2

'Before my journey here to the Barrow-downs, I did some reading to learn about the area. I learned about the barrows of three Men of Cardolan: Taradan, Orron, and Ringdor. I would surely like to have found some evidence to keep of my journey to those places.

'Try digging at the entrances to those barrows. I believe they lie in the north-east area of the Barrow-downs.

'Here, take this pick-axe. The tip has been blunted, so your digging shouldn't cause any damage to any lore-fragments you uncover.'

The barrows of Taradan, Orron, and Ringdor lie in the northern Barrow-downs.

Tobold Leafcutter has told you that you should dig at the entrances to the barrows of Taradan, Orron, and Ringdor. To help in your digging, he has given you a blunted pick-axe to use. This tool will help prevent any damage the digging may cause to any lore-fragments you uncover.
