'At one time, the School at Tham Mírdain was a bastion of the free exchange of knowledge. Students of every art would gather in the courtyard or the great hall and there discuss history, crafts, arts and music. All manner of topics dear to the Elves would be shared among those scholars.

'When war darkened these lands, the knowledge prevailed in other areas of Middle-earth, but many scars of what transpired here remain upon the Elves. Now, the School is a reminder of the brighter days we once shared with our brethren.

'We cannot abide the arrival of the White Hand within its walls, and so we must do something to drive the Enemy out. Here in Mirobel, we have had signs and portents that a great leader drives the forces of the White Hand. I would ask that you search for them throughout Mirobel and search the enemies for a symbol of the White Hand... with that, I may be able to discern the identity and location of their leader.'
