'The beacons have long served to alert the peoples of Gondor and Rohan to the presence of an enemy and to call for aid. The beacon here at Eaworth has been burning for several weeks now.

'In one of the recent assaults, the beacon tower was struck by a catapult. I fear it may have been damaged and is no longer structurally sound. If the beacon were to collapse, the people of the Westemnet would be left unaware of the assaults happening upon our lands.

'Climb the outside of the beacon, from the base to the peak and examine the timbers to ensure they are safe and secure.'

Cendal is at Eaworth.

Report back to Cendal and inform him that the beacon appears to be structurally sound.
