'Tell me, Duvodiad, is it true that the powers of Angmar stir anew? Have the Elves truly allied with the Witch-king in the North as the tales say? Some weeks ago, warriors from the South under the direction of Isengard passed by to do battle in Eregion, but we have heard little but dark rumour since.

'No matter the details, war shall be upon us soon... you mark my words. Would that my father's axe was yet true, I would be unafraid of battle! It was made by the dwarves back when Thrór's folk lived in the mountains, but time takes its toll on all things, and it broke some years ago. None here have the skill to reforge such a weapon, but it is said that the dwarves yet remain in the far north and have shared some secrets of craft with the Men there as well.

'I was thinking that if this is true, then I might have the axe re-made. What of it, Duvodiad? Do you know the secrets of the craft or perhaps know a dwarf who might reforge my father's blade? Take it, if so. It is of no use to me now, and my brethren would have me melt it down to make a less worthy blade. I would not see it end so if it might be made whole again. If it can be done, then I shall be in your debt and shall speak in your favour at the Council of Brehur.'

The mad dwarf dwells somewhere in the mountains surrounding Thrór's Coomb, far to the east of Lhanuch.

Aedh told you to seek out a mad dwarf in the valley of Thrór's Coomb and see if he can repair Penlhun's axe. Alternatively, if you are a master weaponsmith, you might attempt to repair the axe yourself at the forge in Lhanuch.

Objectives
