'Too long have I delayed, hoping to reclaim the city from the forces of Angmar, but I see now that victory in Annúminas will not be complete if Amarthiel learns the location of Narchuil. We will have traded victory here for defeat elsewhere -- this was the lesson of Laerdan, but I did not see it!

'Speak to me when your allies are ready, and we will launch a final assault upon Barad Tironn! If we are successful, you will have access to the inner chamber, where one of you must pick up the palantír and carry it back to the entrance, where I will be waiting -- if you have the finely-woven cloth bag given to you by Golodir, the palantír should not harm you. Protect the bearer of the palantír from the attacks of the enemy!

'Much depends upon this, ${PLAYER}, for we will not have another chance. If you see Laerdan within the depths of Barad Tironn, do what you can, but do not endanger yourselves needlessly. The retrieval of the seeing-stone must come first -- it is what he would have wanted: the eye of Angmar blinded once more.'

This quest is meant for a fellowship. If you choose to undertake this quest solo you will receive an inspiration bonus, but the challenge will be great.

Calenglad is at the Ranger-camp on the island of Tinnudir, in Evendim.

The palantír has been recovered, but Laerdan was left to an uncertain fate in the depths of Barad Tironn and Amarthiel saw what she sought in the depths of the seeing-stone.
