The Drowned Wood

Athradnir, a Galadhrim stationed at the Haunted Inn, wishes to convey a message to Laidhriel at Estolad Mernael.

Description
Stage 1

'Welcome to our temporary establishment, ${PLAYER}. You may rest here a short while, but pray do not get too comfortable. There is a task I would have you do.

'Several days ago, our host split in two, and half our numbers travelled south to explore the swamplands in the Drownholt. We have not heard from them since, but it is important that we establish some lines of communication with them.

'I do not think the distance is very far, but it will be a treacherous journey. There is no friendly creature in Mirkwood, randir -- not one. Laidhriel will receive you, when you find her. She travels among the southern host at Estolad Mernael.'

The second part of the Golden Host set off south, to the drowned part of the wood known as the Drownholt.

You should seek Estolad Mernael, the camping place of the Elves in the Drownholt, so that the Elves stationed in the Dourstocks can maintain communication with their brethren nearby.
