'Umfrë the hunter it was, who rescued me from a ravening pack of strange white hounds shortly after I entered the forest -- Cun Annun, he called them.

'He seems a good Man, though when he realized I was a northerner he seemed dismayed. Nevertheless, he helped me tend my wound, and I had hoped to ask for his services as a guide through these woods. He left, though, in search of one of these hounds that he said had been terrorizing the people of his village of late. Yet a full day has since passed, and I have seen no sign of him. I fear he too may have been injured or killed beneath the forest's eaves.

'My leg is still not fit to walk -- if you could find Umfrë and help him return here, I would be obliged, as I owe him a debt, and he may be the only one who can help us through this forest.'

Umfrë is at Echad Daervunn in the Mournshaws.

You should return to Daervunn's camp and speak with Umfrë.
