'Greetings, friend. I am Ascbert, a scholar of the Riddermark and the ruins within its boundaries. Long had we left Parphád, a small ruin and library of ancient Gondor, untouched. But our enemies have grown bold and mounted an invasion of this relic.

'We must safe-guard its secrets and prevent them both from falling into the hands of the Enemy and from falling into further ruin.

'Gangfinda is well-trained and knows the way to Parphád. You should have no problem finding these ruins with his aid.'

Warning: This quest has a one hour time limit. The timer will begin upon accepting this quest.

Having defeated the leader of the invaders in Parphád, you prepare to return to Ascbert and inform him of your success.
