Laerdan is preparing to make the journey to Eregion, but he needs your aid to finish his preparations.
'Greetings, ${PLAYER}! You have been of great help to me in the past, and now I have need of your aid once more. As you know, we will soon depart for Eregion, but there is much to be done before I leave.
'First, I would ask you to visit Filegnaneth in the Hall of Fire here at Rivendell and request provisions of her. Then, I would have you journey to the isle of Tinnudír in Evendim and ask Nat Collop to send my trusted steed Arel back to me. Lastly, I would ask you to venture to Gath Forthnír and ask Golodir to return my breastplate to me -- it has long been missing.
'When you have accomplished these tasks, return to me, and we will depart.'
Filegnaneth is found in the Hall of Fire at Rivendell. Nat Collop is found in Tinnudír in Evendim, far to the west and north of the Trollshaws. Golodir is found in Gath Forthnír in Angmar, far to the north of the Trollshaws.
Laerdan asked you to perform several tasks on his behalf.
Laerdan is at the Last Homely House in Rivendell.
You should return at once to Laerdan with news of your successes, but also of the resulting delays.
Elrond is in his library in the Last Homely House at Rivendell.
You should tell Elrond of Laerdan's note at once.
