Amarthiel and her minions have seized Annúminas, the ancient city of the Dúnedain, and Calenglad now struggles to form a plan by which she may be opposed.
'There can be no greater insult than this, ${PLAYER}. For Angmar's foul regent to walk the stones that Elendil walked of old is an outrage for which there can be no forgiveness! Amarthiel's minions may hold Annúminas for now, but the Dúnedain will not rest until she and all her servants are swept from its courtyards and the very flagstones wiped clean of their taint.
'While you were away, a visitor came to Tinnudir. His name is Laerdan, and he is an Elf of great reputation; my friend Golodir spoke very highly of him in our youth, though I had not met him before now. He has been given the use of the mustering room in the keep here on Tinnudir and says he has information about Amarthiel that will be of use to us. He asked for you personally, ${PLAYER}. Hear what he has to say, and I pray you will return to me with some secret lore of the Elves that may aid us in this battle!
'Turn right as you enter the keep, and you will find Laerdan's room atop the stairs.'
Laerdan has been given a room in the keep on the island of Tinnudir. His room is atop a flight of stairs on the right as you enter the keep.
Calenglad has told you that Laerdan the Elf has come to Tinnudir bearing information that might help you combat Amarthiel's forces in Annúminas. He said that Laerdan asked for you by name.
Calenglad is at the Ranger-camp on the island of Tinnudir, in Evendim.
Laerdan has written a letter to Calenglad explaining the threat Amarthiel poses. He has asked you to read the letter and deliver it to Calenglad.
