Description
Stage 1
Stage 2

'In the ruins below, there are many ancient pillars that have stood in this area for generations...since the days when the forest was called Greenwood the Great. These pillars may reveal valuable clues regarding the strength of the rituals being performed within Sâd Doldúr.

'Will you journey among the ruins in Sâd Doldúr and examine these pillars for me? Travel the path below to Sâd Doldúr and among the outer ruins, you will find three such pillars.

'When you have examined them, return to me for further instruction.'

The ancient pillars can be located among the ruins of Sâd Doldúr, which can be found by following the path below, down the mountain until you reach the ruins proper. There are three pillars, located in the northern, central, and southern portions of the ruins.

The cairn stones located among the ruins appear to be resistant to the blight that is sweeping the area. Himeinior asked you to travel to each of these locations and examine the pillars.
