'Have you seen them, ${PLAYER}, the worms that crawl throughout the woods and crags of Tâl Bruinen? They are born in the rocks high above the Bruinen, to the east of Echad Candelleth. Their sire is Sarlug, a most vile creature, and their dam is Sarnemil, ferocious and protective.

'I sought to end their terror once, but I was alone and could not defeat them -- I rue now the decision that made me take flight, but I thought them grievously wounded, unable to cause more harm. I was wrong. Their hatchlings have now matured, and more are brought into the world every day. Soon, Tâl Bruinen will be overrun with the creatures.

'I would be grateful if you would finish what I began. Cirith Ulunn lies directly to the east of Echad Candelleth, upon the high mountains. You will need to return to the Tâl Bruinen road and travel to the north-east, down to the Bruinen, and there cross the river to the eastern bank. You will see a long path winding up into the mountains. Follow it to its height, then turn south into Cirith Ulunn. Sarlug you will find there, but Sarnemil will likely flee. West of Cirith Ulunn, on the very edge of the cliffs, a single monument rises from the earth. Stand there on the cliff-edge, and look into the distance: you will likely see where Sarnemil has fled. Return to me when you have defeated both Sarlug and Sarnemil and have thinned the numbers of their offspring.'
