'Ah yes, where was I...? Well, the Seven Sentinels had sworn to keep a watch on Angmar, but there was no more kingdom of Arthedain to support them. The Seven maintained their vigil and upheld their oaths, but after many years, the six Men died. They were not replaced, as both Gondor and the remaining Dúnedain of Arnor had forgotten them.

'In sorrow, the Elf, whose name has been lost, made a vault in the knights' honour, and then he himself sailed west across the Sea. This is the vault of the Seven Sentinels, and an old tale tells that ancient treasure, imbued with a virtue for fighting the evil of Angmar, is buried here. Yet the keys to opening it are missing. The tale says that the vault can only be opened when the seven swords of the Seven Sentinels are once again raised, but the swords of those great heroes are long lost.

'Still, I have some clues. The first sword is called the Sword of Arvedui. It was borne by a knight who served Arvedui's son Aranarth, but who took up his vigil here rather than follow the other Dúnedain into obscurity. I believe that the sword is hidden somewhere around the dwarves' outpost of Gabilshathûr, which once was the site of the knight's watch-tower. The sword may still be hidden there, someplace.'

Nethraw is back at the Fane of the Seven Sentinels east, of Gabilshathûr.

You should bring the Sword of Arvedui to Nethraw.
