'If we have any hope of reclaiming Thornhope for the people of Rohan, the road to the north must be kept clear and open. If we cannot travel along those paths, then there is no chance Thornhope will be ours ever again.

'The road is currently being patrolled by groups of mounted uruks. Roving bands move through the hills to the east and west of the road itself. While the enemy holds this ground, Thornhope will never return to our control.

'Speak with me when you are ready to ride north.'

Holenmal is at Eaworth.

Holenmal is waiting to speak with you about your victories along the road to Thornhope.
