'Ah! 'Tis good to see a face from the south in this harsh land. The locals are a fine enough sort but not the friendliest towards strangers, if you know what I mean. Perhaps you could see your way towards helping out a fellow countryman in need? You see, my fine young herald has gone missing! Several days ago the two of us were separated from our most excellent fellowship during a battle to the south. Afterwards, my herald and I came further north, hoping to re-group here in Sûri-kylä -- unfortunately, we stumbled upon a patrol of vile Angmarim on our way here!

'Well, though I fought valiantly, my herald somehow managed to lose his way in the confusion of battle -- you know how heralds are, no sense of direction whatsoever -- anyway, I am certain he managed to escape, but since then I have seen no sign of my faithful companion.

'I know this region poorly at best and would be most indebted to you if you could help me find my wayward herald. I cannot go off in search of the rest of my fellowship until I have him safely in tow again!'
