'${PLAYER}, we are met in time of need, and it is a joy to see you! You must have received my message, for little else could have brought you hither with such haste!

'I did not dare to speak openly of the reason for Master Elrond's request in my letter, for fear that the message might be intercepted. I apologize for drawing you here with so little information, but Master Elrond will explain in detail what I could not.

'Speak, if you are ready! We will go to him together, and he will tell you what has prompted his call.'

Pethelen is at the front porch of the Last Homely House, in Rivendell.

You have met with Master Elrond of Rivendell, and have been charged with an important task: the gathering of Aragorn's kin from all throughout Eriador, that they may come to his aid in the south.
