'We do not often welcome strangers within our borders, ${PLAYER}, but here we shall make an exception for you. Lady Galadriel is aware that you are recently come from Moria, where you have done much to help secure the dwarves' footing there. She bade me not to hinder your crossing of the Nimrodel. You are welcome to take refuge in our talan and share of our provisions, for I must speak with you at length on a serious matter.

'You may have noticed that Orcs are pressing closer and closer to Lothlórien, fairest of Elven-homes, and that there are plots and stirrings in Moria to set all the Free Peoples in this area ill at ease. It is therefore crucial that the dwarves hold fast in their newly reclaimed home; their coming was an unforeseen blessing at a most fortuitous time! Our enemies' eyes are divided with stout warriors and builders shaking the walls of their dark haven.

'But the dwarves are not secure. They need our help. In the Chamber of the Cross-roads, you will find an important dwarf who goes by the name of Hrólfur. He oversees much of what the expedition endeavours to accomplish. He did not wish to speak to our messenger, but you have reputation as a hero among the Iron Garrison. He will listen to you! Hasten to him if you will, and bring him this note. I want you to help the dwarves as a token of good will from the Galadhrim.'

Hrólfur is in the Chamber of the Cross-roads, in Durin's Way.

You should speak with Hrólfur and accept his two charges: the conquering of Nalâ-dûm, where the water-wheels are, and Lumul-nar, the Hall of Mirrors.

Haldir awaits news of your good deeds towards the dwarves upon his flet near the River Nimrodel, on the western border of Lothlórien.
