'You have done much for those who will stay and defend Elthengels. Will you offer the same aid to those who wish to flee? Do not misjudge them for their desire to escape. I lost both husband and son when they sought to protect our home, but they knew the risks of their actions. I would not force a similar fate upon those not willing to take such a risk.

'Reeve Athelward has abandoned us. The people of Elthengels are resolved to repel the invaders through their own determination and strength. I ask that you leave us to this task, with a final request before your departure.

'Runald and his family plan to set for Edoras. Runald was once an advisor to my husband and a great benefactor to the people of Elthengels, but the growing danger here has encouraged him to depart to protect his family. Search for him near the southern gate of town, and aid him with his preparations.'
