'Armed with new knowledge and a clear recollection of the past, I must ask you to assist us in our first strides to reclaim this fallen refuge. Nearby, just to the north, there is a copse of trees before a golden gate. These trees were once one of the grandest sights in all of Edhelion. Now, sadly, they are a ghost of their former selves. Barren and blighted, these trees remind us of our failure and the betrayal wrought upon us by the Dourhands.

'Worse still, they have become home to foul and twisted insects. We must eliminate those insects lest they infest new plantings, and there may yet be a way to save the ailing trees.

'Go now and strike down the creatures plaguing the trees of Edhelion. Return to me when you have completed this task.'

Dorongúr Whitethorn is south of the trees.

With the insects defeated, you have proven yourself worthy to Dorongúr Whitethorn. You should return to him and tell him of your victory.
