Description
Stage 1
Stage 2

'There is a strange malady affecting the trees in the Ashenslades. They have become a mere shadow of what they once were, due to this strange blight. While I have my suspicions of the cause of the blight, I need to be certain before moving forward.

'Could you travel to the ruins of Sâd Doldúr and the surrounding area and gather some samples of water from the Bleakmere and some pieces of fallen blighted wood from the ruins?

'Sâd Doldúr is located down the mountain. You can reach it by following the path directly to the east of us. The branches can be found near the trees.'

Sâd Doldúr lies to the south of Barad Angol, down the mountainside.

Himeinior has asked you to collect some water samples and pieces of fallen blighted wood from the area around Sâd Doldúr.
