'Long have I lived within the bounds of Bree-land, and my family has long exchanged tales of the people that lived in these lands. We spoke of their relationship with the Old Forest and how it was by their hand that the Forest began its slide to ruin.

'It is for these reasons that I find sorrow in these lands and not fear. Deep to the south, where the eaves of the wood are too strong to penetrate, you will find moving trees who have long been separated from their brethren.

'These once-noble trees are ruined and rotted from within, and I must ask that you destroy them. It is for the good of all that we end them before they become something even more vile than they already are.'

Bob Redthistle can be found encamped at the Dead Man's Perch.

Bob Redthistle awaits your return and information on the trees he sent you to destroy in the southern Barrow-downs.
