'The road that passes through Tâl Bruinen is little more than a dirt path for most of its length, but it is still used by travellers who pass south heading for Hollin and must be kept in usable condition.

'I have been charged by Lord Elrond with keeping the road clear, but it is a time-consuming duty, and I am often at a loss to keep it free of hazards.

'The path runs north of Echad Candelleth and south towards Hollin and often becomes choked with brambles and treacherous stones. Furthermore, the glen-bucks often stray near to the road and threaten travellers. If you can clear the road of these hindrances, I will reward you for your time.'

Bainthir is at Echad Candelleth, the Elf-camp in Tâl Bruinen.

You have helped clear the road which runs through Tâl Bruinen of many hazards and should return now to Bainthir for your reward.
